There are a few places that I go where, due to lack of having a desk or any place to sit, I find myself unable to use a computer. Connect-a-desk hopes to change all that. It is a goofy looking strap that you connect to your laptop giving you the support that you need to walk and type.
Let’s face it, if you go out shopping there is no way that you can blog while you wait in supermarket lines or walk through department stores. There are good reasons for this, one is that there is scarcely a douchier look than not being able to put down the computer for even the twenty minutes that it takes you to purchase Cheetos and Mountain Dew.
I get the whole compulsive computer use thing, but I have to say I am glad that there are places that I can go where I cannot use a computer. It is nice to get away from the screen for a few hours each day and get a bit of fresh air. Like the Jump to Conclusions Mat, this is a terrible idea. [Think Geek via Slippery Brick]

Connect-A-Desk Laptop Holder Gives You Table Convenience On The Move, Takes Away Dignity « Nanda’s Weblog

[...] If you’re a guy who’s constantly on the move like myself, you’d probably be interested in this ingenious yet simple gadget by ThinkGeek. The Connect-A-Desk gives you a surface for your laptop wherever you go, enabling you to walk and do some (hopefully productive) work at the same time. Just think of the possibilities, no more dreaming on the subway, no more looking away from the screen when walking home.And once the novelty wears off, the thought of you losing your dignity, your perfect posture and your laptop to snatch thieves (it has no Kensington Lock) may make you think thrice before actually putting this to frequent use. I can already smell the Class Action lawsuits. [ThinkGeek via The UberReview] [...]

Your comment brought a smile to my face.
When we originated this product in the late 1990’s, we took into account the average shape of the computer user and built in a contour at the body contact point to accommodate any size belly - even pregnant a-)

Patent Pending indeed - hope they didn’t pay their attorney’s a lot - our Prior Art comes from about 1998 forward.
