THIS IS AN OLD PHOTO!

Here is the new setup: flickr.com/photos/garrettmurray/1781918892/

Now that I'm working from home, this is where I do it every day. It's also where we podcast (which explains the acoustic foam on the walls).

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Your set up here is kind of like mine at home. Same Ikea line, but a different color, and I don't have a Mirra but otherwise it's pretty close.

I posted mine as well since I haven't done so since I started working from home either.

Very jealous of your chair. I've been in search of a new one for my office but haven't had much luck yet finding one that I like.

Nice setup. I love the 17" and 23" combo, I sport the same thing, and the iCurve works great. As far as Mirra vs. Aeron I think thats were we have to part paths, its all Aeron for me.

How do you like the X-Trac? I've been looking for a nice mouse pad.

I used to have the same keyboard, both at home and at work, until the N key stopped working at home, and the S key (which is much more infuriating) at work. Nothing like pounding the hell out of a key in an office shared with 3 other people... they think you're pissed off, and you're just trying to save something.

edit: also just realised I have the same weird isight stand... used that until... yeah... let's just say my isight is no longer with us. I buried it out back in a shoebox.

Nice setup, though only version 1.0 of the Apple Juice? You really should try 1.2, they've finally sorted out that nasty bug where it would leak and cause your entire system to slow to a (sticky) crawl.

@Jeff: Awesome.

@playingwithshapes: I LOVE the X-Trac. Best mousepad I've ever had. And down with Aerons!

@GB Bowers: I have another one of the iceKeys as a backup incase this one breaks. I love these keyboards SO MUCH.

@mathewh: In total, I have 960GB in external storage, and 100GB on the MacBook Pro.

@Everyone: If you haven't done it, you should post a photo of your workspace!

Rocking the black Mirra, eh? I've got the alpine (white). I'm also setup with the 15" MacBook Pro on an iCurve, but I'm using a 24" Dell LCD instead of a Cinema Display.

playingwithshapes says:

So do you not use the isight that's built into your 17"?

I had heard that if you have one built in that ichat won't recognize an external one that is plugged in. I have to say, that is the one sucky thing about having the 23" it doesn't have a built in cam like the MBP so I'm stuck vid conferencing with the laptop vs. the cinema display.

@Patrick: Where's the photo?? Show it off!

garrettmurray says:

@playingwithshapes: I use the old school iSight because there's a window behind me when I sit and the backlight causes me to be only a silhouette on the built-in iSight. The older one works better in the light condition. You can definitely use an external even with a built-in, you just have to switch to it each and every time (a little annoying, but at least I am visible).

@Garrett: I need to snap a picture of my desk for sure. Right now though, it's a disaster. Maybe sometime next week once I get it cleaned off.
