This is my workstation setup for our February stay in Mesa, AZ. The mStand is critical to getting the screen and camera at a good height. The 12.9” iPad Pro does great double duty as a second display using Sidecar.

I’m not sure what happened with our bandwidth usage this month but it was way up from any previous month and we just used our one “free" excess usage month from Xfinity. This would have cost $60 extra this month. I will have to keep an eye on usage and consider adding unlimited data for $30 a month. We didn’t make any notable changes in devices or usage so I’m not sure what drove the jump.

I love our outdoor patio space at night. A warm November day bonus with no bugs! The Yellow Table is a recent addition. I hung the yellow Herrnhuter today. We should add some blue to make the Swedish connection. 🇸🇪

I upgraded the video conferencing setup in my home office. Setup a studio light that I’ve had for photography. Got an Audio-Technica AT2005USB microphone on a mini-boom. The audio is incredibly better. The light is a big help early in the morning.
