  3. with respect to eventually converting the CouchLab to a #VanLab, and after having done some testing working (remotely from the lab) in a Nissan Versa, I've determined that a midsize to large sedan is my minimum viable product in that I'd be able to chill in it and get some computer touching done for a day or three without wishing for death. so eventually all this gear may need to live in the trunk of a 4th-gen Buick Regal or similar, which puts some constraints on things.

    the setup I have right now wouldn't really be viable in a car that size, but I also am pretty unlikely to have such a car this year or the next, so I probably have plenty of time to evolve things toward reduced size and power consumption.
