Gear Diary Monkey Kit: Flexible Tablet Positioning System photo

A few months back, I reviewed the TabletTail: Whale Kit, an interesting and innovative iPad holder and stand combo with a flexible “tail” that allowed you to use it as a grip and not just a stand.  Now the same folks are back on Kickstarter with their next project:  A flexible tablet position gizmo.  Now personally, one of the things I am always looking for with my iPad is a way to prop it up that is both stable, portable, functional, flexible, and attractive.  And to put it mildly, it is almost impossible to find all those things in one gizmo.  But in my constant search for a solution–okay, it’s not constant, but you know what I mean, right?–this looked like a fairly interesting innovation.  And since I was pretty impressed with these folks’ last effort, I wanted to let you all know about it. Check it out:

Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
