A space-saving redesign plus more megapixels for the Sit/Stand/Walk Desk

I rebuilt the Sit/Stand/Walk desk from an A-frame to a foot-deep rectangle so that it takes up a few feet less space back-to-front.  I also replaced the main 30" monitors with slightly smaller 4K monitors.  I have mounts for the laptop and phone but haven't figured out a good place to put them, since the sliding up and down of the main monitors really takes up a lot of space.  The only realistic option is knee-level, but then they are useless in Stand/Walk mode.

Total pixel count:

Monitor	Width	Height	Total
HP 30"	2560	1600	4,096,000
LG 27" UHD	3840	2160	8,294,400
LG 27" UHD	3840	2160	8,294,400
Samsung 23” TV	1920	1080	2,073,600
Thinkpad X1 Carbon	2560	1440	3,686,400
OnePlus One	1080	1920	2,073,600
Total			28,518,400

Kona, 2005-2016.

I've had Kona since the Day of the Dead, Nov 1, 2006.

Getting a dog wasn't my idea.  She came from a puppy mill in Redmond, WA and I was her third family.  She was with me through six cities in two countries. 

She did a month of hard time for me in Sembawang Prison (she was innocent) and never told them a thing.  She was at my wedding.

When Milo was asleep, she tended to hang out near his door until we went to bed, and to wait every morning to go in and check him out.

Kona had a tumorous spleen removed in January.  We euthanized her this morning, at home.  Everybody was always happy to see her.
