Balon-what is that blue/green thing behind your computer?

That is a cool contraband. Are those boxes of Nag Champa on the far right?

Ahhh.. that is a work in progress. I'm going to make my own lava lamp! Thats the actuall lamp. I need to build the base and the heating element. Should be pretty cool.

It is! Not only do I love the smell, but it mask other smells quite nicely. I picked up that particular piece of questionable content today.

Cool!! I have a red and black one lurking at the top of my picture. Are you planning quite a detailed base or was there a reason you decided to build one yourself?

I got only the lamp part from a friend who didn't want it! So now it's make a base, or no lava lamp. :D But since I'm making, I was thinking of making it pretty cool. Maybe use the casing for an old time twist dial phone.

I really need to declutter! :roll:
:lol: You're like Vain who was apologetic over the "mess" in his room. What clutter, Chrysalis? Are you sure you're showing the right picture?

Balon's desk on the other hand...holy crap, now that's clutter! No offense intended, man! :biggrin:

By the central position of your phone+stand, I take it to mean that it is The Object that all the other lesser objects on the table defer to? :P

Thanks for sharing, First! :)

No, not really, it's just most convenient there, :lol: I use the little zen garden as much as I do the phone, if I can keep my daughter out of it. In which case I end up with sand all over my desk. :o

Here is a pretty accurate depiction of my work station (i don't have a camera handy). Enjoy.

:lol: well considering I have two computers on the desk and far too many cds and 'things' around it could use a bit of decluttering :P
I don't think I saw Vain's mess but I am sure he had his reasons!

I see your point about the CDs, Chrysalis. I keep software CD-ROMs under my computer desk, but store my music CDs separately in the other room. :)

Okay, here's my new PC setup:

Image

The monitor, speakers and mousepad (and desk) are the same from last time. The new stuff: computer & case, wireless keyboard & mouse, game pad and replacement cable modem. The chair is new, too, as my old one broke, but it's just a basic "student" model - I really don't require anything fancier to sit on. I began building the new system during the Christmas holidays, but only now is it ready for prime time. It wasn't a labor of love, but of hellfire and damnation. But, I got it done, and the system is humming along nicely now. Whew.

Very nice, Matrixman! It has just the precision, order and thoughtfulness I would expect from you. :D

I will be moving soon, and when I do I will have to post an updated picture. :)

Why, shucks, thanks!

(Yes, I work hard to preserve the illusion of order - at least at my computer desk. Which is why I won't be showing off my living room anytime soon.) :P
