Anyone have that gray hexagon wallpaper from the latest email?
This gray, domed hexagon wallpaper looks like it would be awesome on a curved widescreen! I wonder if anyone has this, or if whoever staged the photo at Drop can chime in?

Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it.

PU breaks down too fast. My current chair has been making a mess around my house because the pleather just keeps coming off. Never again will I buy a crappy pleather chair.
From my experience most PU doesn't seem to last more than two (maybe three) years before some signs of wear and tear start appearing. And then you have to replace the entire chair when it's just the PU. It's planned obsolescence at it's finest. For example: The PU on my current office chair (which cost ~$175) is already falling apart and it is not even two years old yet. You can see how the bonded PU just flakes off.
It's like the difference between Dye-sub keycaps and doubleshot keycaps. One wears out over time, and the other one can't wear out. The choice is too easy for me.
