Steven Roberts is amazing. I highly recommend checking out his old presentations on youtube about his bike adventures, it's super interesting and fun. https://youtu.be/9YwXGanwPpw https://youtu.be/9YwXGanwPpw https://youtu.be/ltSWBXPIpmA https://youtu.be/ltSWBXPIpmA

  “The wheels are solar powered too because I’m part of the food chain.” Haha, I like this guy. Only 400+ subscribers currently. Great find.

When I saw the title, I though it would be someone with a pile of atari and nintendo game consoles. Instead, it was awesome. I will not lie - I've considered putting in a 19" rack next to my computer to organize power/network/peripheral stuff once and for all, but I thought it was too extreme. Maybe it's just fine :)
