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. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Stylish Modern Device Holder
It's a bit pricey, but the wood is nice and the geometric angles are modern and stylish. Dig it.

Even by MD's own description, this is decidedly not a great deal. MD states that MRSP is $54 ($9/pad) and touts its price as $42, which is actually $53 when you include MD's exorbitant $9 shipping charge. So you save a dollar for the dubious privilege of waiting weeks, instead of days, to receive your order.
I acknowledge that there are some genuinely good deals at MD - I've joined five drops in the last couple of months.
But, as usual, MD omits its shipping charges from its pricing on the product description page. It gets tedious to keep asking MD to be honest and transparent with us - their own customers - by including the actual cost, including shipping, on the product description page. But, if MD had had included it there, even they would have recognized that it's ludicrous to expect their customers to go through the uncertainty and delay of an MD purchase to save just one buck.
Well. it's ludicrous unless you're making a hefty profit on the outrageous shipping fee.
Admittedly, clicking a button is not tedious compared to genuinely laborious drudgery. But it is tedious to be compelled to do something completely unnecessary, especially when it would take no effort for MD could provide us - their own customers - with the full cost information on the description page. Having to click through to the join drop page is also tedious because MD takes that as permission to send you multiple pestering emails asking if you're still interested in the drop. So, first they make it unnecessarily inconvenient for me to get the full price of the item, then they use this inconvenience that they created as an excuse for cluttering my inbox intrusive marketing. This not good good customer service - it's obnoxious.
