My workspace, let me show you it

This is where I spend 8 hours a day:



Things to note:

• Aeron Chair - most comfortable office chair I've ever sat in!


• dual screens - the only way to work. I would have a legitimate use for three screens, actually.


• Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones - very helpful for blocking out the world and getting into the coding zone.


• 160gb iPod Classic - supplies much of the music I listen to during the day. I've taken fondly to Pandora, as well.


• Tuna - I eat it for lunch most days. One can and five crackers are around 250 calories.


• Soda bottles - soda is my lifeblood at work. I've recently diverted some of my caffeine intake to tea (not pictured).


• Twitter sticker on cabinet - courtesy of @grbrit.


• Natural keyboard and track-ball mouse, in tray - I had a bout of repetitive stress injury in my wrists last year, so I switched to using more ergonomic interfaces.


• Guitar calendar - thanks mom and dad!


• Japanese artwork - I love those prints! The one on the left is Hokusai; it was requested by Debussy to appear on the program for the premiere of La Mer, one of my favorite orchestral works. I like the one on the right better, actually, but I can't remember the artist. I will update this post on Monday with the name.


• iPod Shuffle dock - I use the shuffle for exercising, and occasionally it needs to be charged. Having a dock at work lets me make sure it has enough juice to get me through four miles.
