There are interesting scientific and historical connections between these things that I just love.

I'd love to get ideas on overcoming jet lag.

In my home office, I built a custom sit-stand desk to which I connected a big, kidney shaped glass top which I got for cheap at Ikea. Kidney-shaped desk tops are, I think, the most efficient of all possible desk shapes.

My home office and workshop are on an overlook on the only deep river gorge on the entire length of the Mississippi River.

There are a lot of ideas I've had that I originally was quite taken with, but over time, I lost steam. They stay on my list, but between me and you, I'm probably never going to do them.

I have a large standalone workshop on the back of my property where I prototype and build stuff. It's bright, roomy, and has a giant door so it's easy to bring projects in or out.

I think it's important to associate with positive, upbeat people.
