With my new Flip Video I want to make more videos. This includes Do It Yourself videos on how to make easy things which would cost you a lot when you bought it in an actual store. This will be the first video.

Having a laptop stand can really increase your notebook-experience. For one thing, the laptop has a nice little angle which makes working on it looks a little bit more cooler. Besides that, the laptop stand will hold your laptop cooler! Which is good again for the laptop. But the stands are awful when you have to buy it in a store, around 20$ for a simple stand? I don’t think so. Here I will show to you how you make an easy laptop stand yourself. From nothing but wine corks! Have fun.

Any thoughts? Please share it in the comments!
