First picture of a small series (3 pictures at all) of yesterday´s desks. Starting with a sixties desk, you can see a Grundig Stenorette L dictating machine, a FeTAp 611 Telephone (graue Maus) and a Carl Desk organizer. Next Friday we will take a look on a seventies desk.
The quality of the new desk and stationery set is as good as the older ones. Some items in the new set are better proportioned to the scale of the desk like cellotape holder, crayon box and geometry triangle etc..

At the violet hour, when the eyes and back 215
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits
Like a taxi throbbing waiting,
I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives,
Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see
At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives 220
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea
ts eliot, the wasteland, 1922

The LMax is done by lilushop.etsy.com and well very beautiful as you can see.
Chair is from Reac Japan.
The table is from Elf Miniatures (she does great modern furniture and has some Reac Japan chairs for sale as well)
The book on top of the shelf is by bluekittyminiatures.etsy.com
I have tons of mini books that I got from Mercedes libertybiberty.blogspot.com/
And many minis are from Re-ment (the cutting board, drawers, pens, glass)
The big shelf is from dollhouse emporium
Well, I like how they came out.
From left to right: the man with the golden gun, a mutant with a radioactive scorpion as armor, a Minuteman, a lone survivor, a female raider, a ghoul in soviet uniform and another survivor.
As always tell me what you think
i found the cards at a store in vancouver called the Regional Assembly of Text. it's a bird counting set illustrated by melissa sweet.
On the left, iPad showing a press release in DEVONthink To Go. In the centre is my iMac running interview notes in DEVONthink Pro Office. In the foreground is my MacBook Air 11.6 running OmniOutliner Pro. This is where I knock out the structure and basic draft of my features, most of which are 1000-words plus. Finally, on the right is my iPhone ready to take calls and show OmniFocus reminders, and my Moleskine notebook. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Why can’t you simply use one computer at a time like the rest of us?
The way I work is to have on view as much research material as possible. When I’ve got the basic structure to a feature - usually around five or six sub-headings - I write quite quickly, and also in a non-sequential way. I decide the shape only when my outline is put into Pages on the iMac for “tickling” the final draft. It should take me no more than three hours to finish a piece.
By the way, both MacBook and iMac are linked via a nifty little utility called Teleport, which allows me to seamlessly control the iMac from my MacBook over the wifi network, and drag and drop files from one to the other. They also have a shared clipboard for copying and pasting.
On the left (out of shot) is another desk, part of the L-shape, and out of shot on the right is a three-drawer filing cabinet and Brother laser printer.
This school is abandoned in the sense that it has not been used in quite a few decades, but it's not totally abandoned because one or two locals have maintained the structure by giving it a fresh coat of paint and new shingles.
I was given pretty detailed directions by a local who asked that I keep it's location a secret......sorry, my lips are sealed........

Another year, another desk shot. A fair number of changes since my last year's photo.
The Mac Pro is still there, hanging under the desk. Biggest change is that all my displays are now Dells. I got irritated at the low PPI of my old 24" displays so replaced the main Apple cinema display with the 4K 27" Dell P2715q. Now I don't have to grimace every time I view a photo on the computer when compared to a Retina Display iPad.
Left display usage remains the same. Three column social media/messaging/iTunes.
Right display usage now primarily just Mail for the time being. My social media/news aggregation browser windows I've moved back to the main center display.
Center display is now where I spend most of my time. I have the 4K running at scaled 2560x1440 at high PPI and its damn gorgeous. MacOS does scaling phenomenally well. More so than Windows 7 at least. Native resolution is 3840x2160 but the system is pretty much impossible to use at native res with a 27" screen. Everything is just way too small. Seriously miniscule. Unless you enjoy working on your computer while wearing magnifying glasses, there's no reason to have it that high.
Since the Dell doesn't have the built-in webcam like the Apple Cinema display, perched a Logitech C920 on top of the P2715q for the occasions where I need to Skype/Facetime.
Picked up the Logitech trackball to use as my main nav device cause playing Diablo 3 on the Magic Trackpad was just killing my thumb and wrist. But couldn't get rid of the trackpad entirely cause I had no idea how to swap Spaces without it. =) Then discovered that I can actually use the trackpad left-handed pretty much as well as I had been using it right-handed. I actually prefer using the trackpad left-handed when doing more precision pointing.
And speaking of killing my wrist, that's what that lil' grey bag thing is right below the trackball. Unfortunately my years of computer use has finally allowed carpal tunnel to catch up to me so the lil' beaded cushion helps w/that.
Work PC laptop I now have docked all the way to the right. And the dock has its own connection to the 4K display as well. So when I work I just switch the input on the display to Mini DisplayPort and I'm good to go. Started using SynergyKM again so I can share keyboard/trackball/trackpad across to the laptop.
In case anyone was curious about the portable devices, iPhone 6 on the right switched to The Lightning Dock from the old Twelve South Hi-Rise. The Hi-Rise worked fine, just found it too tall. Work Samsung S6 on the left on a wireless charging stand. Wireless charging really is dope. Apple should get that onto their phones asap.
And finally, down to 2 headphones from 3 and there's also one new Nendoroid. =)
[UPDATE]: In case any other old (2009/2010) Mac Pro owners out there are interested, I wrote up a somewhat lengthy piece on the issues I ran into while trying to incorporate the Dell P2715q with my system. May be worth a look if you're considering adding a 4K display as well.
Because she was home alone, with only her son Mr Humphrey for company, she decided that she would do her work while sitting on the desk. Unfortunately, she was not allowed to do this in the office because everyone kept ogling her shapely glossy hosiery clad legs!

My desk shot for the year. For the most part not too much different from last year's photo. Just changes and additions to accessories and such.
Still running a Mac Pro hanging underneath the desk. I did exchange the old 2x2.26Ghz Quad-Core Xeon procs for slightly less old 2x3.33Ghz 6-Core Xeons. Also upped the RAM to 64GB. I've pretty much reached the end of what I can upgrade and stuff into this chassis. 7 years and still serves my needs. I think the only thing I haven't updated is the optical drive. Have been tempted to swap it out for a read/write BD but since Apple will never build BD support into the OS, what's the point?
Left display is still my social media/messaging screen. Except it's only recently gone down to a 2 column layout instead of the old 3 column one. And that's solely because Instalicious no longer works. Thanks a lot, Instagram. Don't know what the heck you guys were thinking since you now only have the one dinky lil' phone app. It's been how long now and you can't even put out an iPad version at least? But anyways, so yeah, I still haven't figured out what I can put in Instalicious' old spot. I already have Tweetbot's window width maxed out so I still have a gap there to fill.
No changes to the center and right displays. Still just email on the right and everything else on main center screen.
Input devices have changed. Dumped the old Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad for a Matias Laptop Pro and the new Magic Trackpad. Having used laptop keyboards and the Apple Wireless Keyboard for so long, I had completely forgotten just how damn nice the tactile feedback from mechanical switches are.
However, since the Matias is a much thicker keyboard with a much steeper back to front down angle, I had to get a wristpad to use with it. Getting old man, getting old.
Also have an Apple Pencil Charging Dock next to the iPhone dock now.
I finally broke down and picked up my first new set of headphones in years: a pair of Fostex TH-X00s from the original Massdrop. They're really darn good.
My stack of hard drive platter drink coasters has also doubled in size due to some dead WD drives lost throughout the year. And my desk's also being overrun by a bunch of chibi Gundams. ;-p
