Nighttime on the Death Star. Seems the troopers get up to the same stuff as everyone else, faff about on the Internet until they fall asleep.
The LEGO Community Minifigure Set that I bought on a whim comes with a LEGO laptop, which I didn't even know existed! Had to use it for something :)
Setup shot here for those interested in the workings of a fibreoptic lighting setup.
This photo was taken on March 24, 2011 using a Nikon D200.

You've placed the cat all wrong, they are usually found ON TOP of the keyboard. I believe they are trying to communicate their plans for world domination.
