i have been interested in where everyone browses the forums from. where do you check for caches, flame, post, or do abjectly silly things when you are home.

here is mine. it's in 2 pictures because the desk is so big. i have 8 franklin mint star trek pewter starships, 2 gargoyles, lots of books, and plenty of other goodies.

Heh. I like this topic. Give me a second to grab a pic and post it. And then after I clean up, I'll do another.

Ouch. Good incentive to clean up my room. I'll post the clean version a bit later.

 

And good use of the panoramic feature of my Canon G3.

I've stitched your two pics and brightened it slightly for a better view.

I noticed the Galileo thermometer. I recently e-bayed my one that I had at got one with 2 degree instead of 4 degree balls.

[+Stunod]

Jamie...tell me that's not a bottle of Red Dog beer on your desk.

[Keystone]

Great topic, because I seriously do not think this one has been done before. Here is what an approver's workspace looks like. The Admin Brick is my only weapon, and the shipments of Mountain Dew are my only employee benefit.

This $40 item could reduce the desktop by %50 I'm using one now to switch between this PC and the one I'm using to up-date data bases. Very nice.

That actually looks like one system with two monitors.

I use a laptop with a wifi connection. I use it wherever.

Here's a shot of the MAN ROOM, or at least the command center of it.

 

You might notice that above the desk on the wall are two pictures. One is the prayer of St. Francis and the other is this picture of Ned Flanders:

 

 

Hmmmm...that probably says a bit too much about me.

Of course, when I am wireless (like now), ESPN can often be seen.

Is that a game of railroad tycoon I see on the desktop?

Got it cleaned up and posting the before/after pics here. Amazing what an hour will do. I even vacuumed and threw away my empty bottle of Red Dog. (Mmmm)

 

My towel rack still hangs from my ceiling, and Rusty, Totem is correct. Dual monitors... although if that little doodad will allow me to use several keyboards with my system, I might be interested.

 

Frolickin, whose the framed picture of? It was conspicuously not-visible from either angle.

 

JMB, the syringe and spoon are nice.

[+rusty_tlc]

The little doodad hooks two PC's to one Keyboard/video/mouse. They call it a KVM switch. I wish I had bought the 4 position one since there is another PC in My office I use a lot.

 

Why would you hook multiple keyboards/monitors to one PC?

[+Jamie Z]

Why would you hook multiple keyboards/monitors to one PC?

I'd like to be able to easily switch between an English, Spanish, and Russian keyboard without having to plug and unplug.

How very observant of you. I was wondering who would notice.

It's actually Railroad Tycoon II, but you were close enough. What else is on my desk?

I use multiple monitors when doing music production. I have the multi-track on one screen, and the effects processors on another. For Geocaching it's maps one, gc.com on the other. At work one of our test stations is set up with the Logic analyzer on one pattern gen on the other. For every day use It's nice to be able to see two applications full screen say a CAD program and Excel... you get the idea.

 

I like it better than two computers for data transfer. No files to move, just cut and paste.

[+Mopar]

OK, I'll play!

90% of the time, I'm on the sofa, with the laptop. The PC is in the backbround. Not shown is the laptop on the other arm of the sofa for Geo Ho, or the mini-laptop for the car.

Okay, there's a four speaker sound system, a phone, a spray bottle, what looks to be a rollodex off to the right off the monitor (which I don't understand why you'd have a rollodex by a computer)

 

3 remotes on the arm of the couch, presumably for tv, dvd player, and either a stereo or a vcr, there's what looks to be a box for turbotax on the coffee table between the couch and the computer, and underneath the coffee table is sweet little Geody...

Like Bret, I have a couple things adorning my walls. One is simply an umbrella. The other is the license plate of my no-longer-owned truck.

 

 

Hmmmm...that probably says a bit too much about me.

Geocaching is an outdoor activity so why not doing it completely outdoors? The pictures schow the preparation for the cache Jamboree On The Air 2003.

i love the flanders pic. where did you get it. don't feel strange. i'm a 48 year old woman with a krusty the clown bobblehead, pinky and the brain miniatures on top of my monitor, and a chicken run plane made from burger king kids meal toys. my husband still wonders how i can watch tv, use the computer, and read at the same time. the bottles of "special" beverages are kept in the freezer.

Not TurboTax, but TaxCut

The "rollodex" is a CD case

Otherwise you did very good.

The remotes are for Satellite, VCR, and TV/Receiver

[+CYBret]

It's obvious that you don't know Jamie like I do. The license plate is a gentle reminder to him that, "Women Want Space Dudes". Jamie knows that nothing says, "I'm available" like letting a fine lady know that you plan on sitting at home at watching the Mars rover landing with your internet buddies.

P.S. The Flanders picture was from an old cover of Christianity Today (about 2 years ago). I might still have a scanned copy around here somewhere.

[+Ed Rad]

NIce thread! I go wireless at home so I'm wherever the kids are not! Need the peace and quiet you know! I have even been know to take the laptop into the bathroom with me instead of a book! So I don't think that would be an appropriate pic to post! LOL. I have been a big fan of the bed with nice comfy pillow propped up behind me, as of late. Isn't technology cool?

after all that mountain dew, i can see why you have badgers on your monitor.

I had to clean up the desk first (so you could SEE the desk)

 

 

Note the bottle of Atkin's friendly beer...it goes good with the Atkin's friendly KFC...

[uperdooper]

i've been sitting here wondering how many people across the country are cleaning so they can take a pic of their desk.

[+TeamK-9]

I didn't clean mine up at all...
