As I recently mentioned, I have a pretty good system for organizing my computer cables. It’s easily the best system I’ve ever had. Which isn’t saying much, since all previous systems were simply huge tangled rats nest messes, with zero actual organization.

The approach is simply to use gallon-sized zip lock backs, labeled with the connector types; then place those bags in a plastic storage bin.

I’ve got the following bags in the collection today:

• USB-C → USB-C
• USB-A → USB-C
• USB-A → Lightning
• USB-A → mmmble-USB (no idea ever if mini or micro or what – just rando non-A or C USB)
• USB-C → Lightning
• Miscellanous

Pretty exciting stuff!

A month ago (or six months? who can tell), Timmy mentioned getting a tray or rack or other kind of “mount” for his MacBook, to elevate it, and keep it off his desk. At least, that’s the story I heard. I thought it was interesting, so I Amazoned for one for myself (side note, Google became a verb, but Amazon didn’t? I think it’s high-time we fix that).

Anyway, I had one in my cart for some number of months (see above). And I finally pulled the trigger last night, with overnight delivery – so, now my MacBook Pro is flying too 🙂

Not entirely sure why I did this? Maybe it was because my Mac Mini which is coming today might temporarily live below my MacBook?

Or maybe it was to correct this serious alignment issue that I had been dealing with for like 3 years now:

Better now, eh?
