I needed a desk organizer tray so that is today's project. I needed a place for my iPhone and business cards. One of the designs replaces the business card holder with a pen/pencil holder. I also included one without a business card or smartphone holder. You can see a diagram of all four designs below. The smartphone slot is the cut that you may need to alter. I have a case on my iPhone so I made the slot larger. You may need to adjust for your phone. The phone slot also has a hole for the power cable to come through. There needs to be enough room for the power cable to plug into the phone. I put rubber feet on the bottom of the organizer to get it higher. This is a two-layer design. To get a good glue-up of the layers you want to select boards that are relatively flat.
In this project, it is important that the lines be cut as straight as possible. A crooked cut will really show up in this project. Sand away any miscuts before you to the glue-up. The picture below shows the rubber feet I used. These are self-stick feet that you can get at almost any hardware store. The next image shows the four designs. Wooden Visions by Charles Dearing.

If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out. Made in USA. A true MICROJIG Innovation.
We all know how important it is to make a good first impression. It's important when meeting new people, and it's also important when building experiences on the web. On the web, a good first impression can make the difference between someone becoming a loyal user or them leaving and never coming back. The question is, what makes for a good impression, and how do you measure what kind of impression you're likely making on your users? On the web, first impressions can take a lot of different forms-we have first impressions of a site's design and visual appeal as well as first impressions of its speed and responsiveness. While it is hard to measure how much users like a site's design with web APIs, measuring its speed and responsiveness is not! The first impression users have of how fast your site loads can be measured with First Contentful Paint (FCP).
But how fast your site can paint pixels to the screen is just part of the story. Equally important is how responsive your site is when users try to interact with those pixels! The First Input Delay (FID) metric helps measure your user's first impression of your site's interactivity and responsiveness. FID measures the time from when a user first interacts with a page (that is, when they click a link, tap on a button, or use a custom, JavaScript-powered control) to the time when the browser is actually able to begin processing event handlers in response to that interaction. What is a good FID score? To provide a good user experience, sites should strive to have a First Input Delay of 100 milliseconds or less. To ensure you're hitting this target for most of your users, a good threshold to measure is the 75th percentile of page loads, segmented across mobile and desktop devices. As developers who write code that responds to events, we often assume our code is going to be run immediately-as soon as the event happens.
