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.

Massdrop, you're excellent at curating cool products but horrible at offering any value. I want to buy more stuff from you but it's almost like you go out of the way to be the least attractive purchasing option.
Plenty of stuff I want to buy through Massdrop, but lots of flaws in the process. A lot of the cool stuff I see on Massdrop, and never knew about, I go and order through Amazon instead because:
Either they don't ship it internationally or they don't offer a customs service as an option, and special items get stuck there. My case was Wifi Anova, even though it's an absurdity from my country's customs and buying either directly from Anova or from Amazon doesn't get it stuck there.
So I'm staying for the curated products and sometimes for the Massdrop made items.
