I recently ordered a laptop sleeve along with a new laptop from Lenovo. For some reason they came in separate shipments.

The laptop sleve came in a HUGE box, much bigger than even the box the laptop came in, even though it would have easily fit inside a bubble mailer, along with enough construction paper to supply a Jack Astor's for a week.

Not very exciting, I know, and a few weeks old, but I wanted to share the photos. I built a nice picnic table from scratch for the park where I go each morning with my dog.

It's basically a piece of private land that's not really used for anything, so a bunch of us meet there and let our dogs run around. To keep people from stealing my table, I chained it to a tree.

Since the table wouldn't fit in my car, I transported it as raw wood and assembled it there. I cut, sanded, and sealed each piece in my garage first.

So it's that time of year where by 6:30pm, the sun has set and it's dark out. To make matters worse, next week, the clocks will fall back an hour, meaning the sun will set an hour earlier each day. So by 5pm, it will be pretty dark outside.

To try to make my place feel less depressing and to give myself lots of nice light, I build this "artificial sun" rig yesterday:
