Knoll Monitor Arm is Very Clever

The monitor arm is a great way to free up space on your desk. 
The tension needs to be adjusted on a rare occasion and that is the moment you wish you had the right size of Allen wrench at hand. 
Knoll's monitor arm has an Allen wrench holder built right in.
Very clever.

Zoom: Auto-launch


I clicked a link from an email to join an event. 
Zoom was the video conference platform. 
It is nice that the webpage tries to launch the application, however, it does not seem to work very well on Mac. 
There should be a checkbox option that allows the user to opt-out of auto-launch.
