The question is pretty straightforward: I'm pretty much out of the sun all day long. Is there any way to work outside with a computer? Maybe a nice setup?

It works well enough in shade but not in direct sunlight.<p>My main source of sunlight, though, is it taking a 30 to 40 minute break to take a walk once or twice a week.
There are many places in this world that have both high speed internet and sunshine (and beaches and tall drinks with umbrellas.). Many of these places are in different time zones from the rest of your team, leaving one able to sit on said beach (or bob around a short way out from it on a surfboard) for a few hours each day while your co-workers are either asleep or home for the night.<p>It's a solved problem.
I work outside fairly often - but that's mainly because I hate being in an office. You need a shady spot so your laptop doesnt glare - and even a portable wifi to work at the park.
