It is a spooky Friday the 13th but we hope everyone is enjoying the start of the weekend. Here at the element14 offices, in order to stave off potential ghosts or demonic happenings the team took a walk together for lunch and got ourselves some Happy Meals. <span><a href="/members/e14megan">e14megan</a></span> ended up with an Elastic Girl in hers and we now have a skating Frozone guarding all of our element14 swag. Happy and full of fries as well as sunshine, we were able to round up all the votes for week two of our Cool Tools Bench Awards.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">Thank you to everyone who entered and participated, we hope you all enjoy our winners&#39; announcements and continue to discuss and share your tips, tricks and suggestions for how to build a truly cool bench.</p><p style="margin:0;"><span><a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/414x129/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-21/contentimage_5F00_98534.png"><img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/00/21/contentimage_98534.png-414x129.png?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=q5%2BQIVWustArwfI8y6TxnvfZj5vvYVwltdtRNscMXwo%3D&amp;se=2026-05-27T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=pbUrZBLwzCTJXkui+4WQjA==" style="max-height: 129px;max-width: 414px;" /></a></span></p><h1><span style="color:#eb7a3d;">Fire Hazard Award (worst cable management)</span></h1><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><table border="1" class="jiveBorder mce-item-table" style="border:1px solid #ffffff;width:100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #ffffff;vertical-align:middle;text-align:left;padding:6px;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/ZPvkWLA.jpg"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" class="jive-image" height="434" src="https://i.imgur.com/ZPvkWLA.jpg" style="width:579px;height:434.25px;" width="578" /></a></td><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #ffffff;width:55%;vertical-align:middle;text-align:left;padding:6px;"><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Have the bucket brigade on stand-by for this works-space from <span><a href="/members/lowellbohn">lowellbohn</a></span></span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>• Where are they all going? <br /></em></span></p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><em style="font-size:13.3333px;">• I want to go in there armed with Velcro strips and cable ties </em></em></span></p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><em style="font-size:13.3333px;"><em style="font-size:13.3333px;">• Cable management could&nbsp; definitely be better but now I also need to know what all the books are!</em></em></em></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#eb7a3d;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;">Pepped to the Post (Best Coffee Mug)</span></p><table border="1" class="jiveBorder mce-item-table" style="border:1px solid #ffffff;width:100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #ffffff;vertical-align:middle;text-align:left;padding:6px;"><span><a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/578x433/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-21/contentimage_5F00_98536.jpg"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/00/21/contentimage_98536.jpg-578x433.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=40y9OUeFeb6OX7kickOqYIbiRV66nlMD%2FczHebUKcbY%3D&amp;se=2026-05-27T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=Nh0JJFbeMDOS/cn+bfftAg==" style="max-height: 433px;max-width: 578px;" /></a></span></td><td style="border:1px solid black;border:1px solid #ffffff;width:54%;vertical-align:middle;text-align:left;padding:6px;"><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">As expected from a variety of benches strewn with electronics, we actually did not see as many coffee mugs so for this award we also gave other items consideration!</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Here are some of the judges&#39; comments about this winning work space from <span><a href="/members/rsc">rsc</a></span>&nbsp; </span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em>• Coffee machine!</em></span></p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><em style="font-size:13.3333px;">• it&#39;s got a whole coffee maker! </em></em></span></p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><em style="font-size:13.3333px;"><em style="font-size:13.3333px;">• that table&#39;s even got sugar and cream</em></em></em></span></p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><em><em style="font-size:13.3333px;"><em style="font-size:13.3333px;"><em style="font-size:13.3333px;">• I would also like this work set-up</em></em></em></em></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;">Congratulations to our two winners!
