My desk usually looks like this. Opps, forgot to mention my whiteboard. Got it at Cvs for a buck. Thanks for looking through, and I'm open to any suggestions.

DT inspired by this post: www.flickr.com/photos/mcgoogles/4679205009/. Did a lot of photoshop work and changed the icons/menubar. Modified Bowtie theme for iTunes.

Basically the same as the one uploaded yesterday, added a vertical calender (thanks zackshackleton) and a to do list.

still can't figure out how to get a RSS feed and the weather working. Links to geektool scripts are in earlier screenshots

Idea from lifehacker.com/lego-figures-make-perfect-cable-holders-15... I just so happened to have a LEGO figure at my desk to try this trick.

Here I used a velcro tie to hold the monitor cables back from view.

Revived my old setup from DJChick.

. I got bored, and I knew that my old setup had grown old (yes I know its been 2 days, but I felt that people were expecting things) so I searched for a nice dark wallpaper similar to chaebi69's amazing desktop. So I spit this out. Hope you enjoy it. I will NOT making a transformation pack for this setup, because Project Rockstar is already in its Alpha phase, and I can't go back now, So just click the links below to get my setup.

Velcro tie holds the wire for the ear bud/mic (the thing is like 10' long). On the leg in the back ground is my data logger and it's dock. Cool little toy, lots of fun.

It's spring, so my plants are a bit on the "not yet blooming" point of the year, but you can see what I'm going for. The place I live is surrounded by apartment blocks on every side. The goal is that when I look out, I see at least some green.

Im liking this new layout...

Just giving back to the Lifehacker community--lots of great stuff comes from tips from the show&tell pool.

This is my dorm room at Georgia Tech, it's not too big but since I have a corner room I get a much larger space.

Running a common setup on Vista Home Premium, tried to keep the sidebars the same.

I'm also continually planting little herbs and things out here, so it gives me something to check on throughout the day.

Detail of my commuting from the very first day I began working in Montgomery County to present (as of the date of upload). This shows transit in cooler colors and car travel in warmer colors.

By and large transit has been a longer trip (not least because I still need a car for part of it), but quite reliable and pleasant. Whereas driving the whole way has the capability of being faster (particularly in the morning) but can be maddening in the evenings.

A few specific events...

I was walking to/from Dupont North up until about Oct/Nov 2012, when the south escalators reopened & cut about 5 min off my walk. I later began using Metro Center in the AM, cutting an additional 5 min walk but at the cost of an extra couple minutes on Metro... I mostly switched just to vary my walk up a bit; I liked seeing all the construction each day.

There were two days in 2012 when I tried 100% to my job on the outskirts of Gaithersburg... as you can see from their status as clear outliers: that did not work well. The 56 bus was horrible... it meanders so much, and on that second day I missed it by a few seconds -- had to wait 30 minutes for the next one.

Over Summer 2013 I began testing out I-395 as a driving option... it's worked pretty well in both AM and PM, cutting my DC car time significantly but increasing my VA car time slightly. One perk is I don't have to deal with the K Street slalom, and I also get lovely skyline views along the Potomac.

In the last few days -- on the far-right of the chart -- I switched to a different office which I can travel to entirely by transit... this is why the last few data points which are 100% transit.

My back has been hurting me at work, and I figured out I've been slouching in my chair because my monitors are too low. So I built risers for my monitors out of shelves and doorstops. I based it on this article I read on lifehacker: lifehacker.com/#!5159703/diy-tv-or-monitor-stand-from-doo..., except that I didn't use an Ikea shelf because I wasn't willing to wait for it to come in the mail.

Browsing the internet on the Tablet PC.

Just doing my Project Rockstar69 thing. I think it looks pretty well.

I bought this at Edward's Luggage: a pocket leather notepad and business card holder, with pen. It is more efficient and portable than any PDA. It costs less than $20 and Edward's Luggage even sells replacement notepads.

Just 2 GB, but it does raise a lot of eyebrows.

It's really a beautiful and productive mix of the previous Lifehacker desktops

1. Samurize. It's just awesome, I'm still getting to know it. There's actually no wallpaper, It's all Samurize and a "blackground". I know, I should be on Seinfeld.

2. Google Desktop. I really like it, although I agree the notepads could be more appealing.

3. D-Color. Just to better organize my few icons.

4. Autohotkey. It adds the alpha channel to the taskbar, so that the graphic on Samurize can bee slightly seen underneath.

5. Windows' very own quick launch bar on top. I have yet to find a Win XP skin that makes secondary taskbars dark.

I'd love to get some feedback on it. You'll notice I'm from Brazil by the Portuguese all over it.

PS: I can't tell you how much I hate this red vase with the flowers. It's a Google gadget my mother added to the desktop. She's the one who paid for the PC, so I guess she can have some of its real-estate.

More Litestep:) I changed the theme to VPR though, to suit the i2 Rainmeter configs.

4 D Cell batteries connected in sequence with alligator clips. Worked pretty well actually. When you don't have electricity, you improvise…

My Mid 2007 Mac Mini 2GHz Core 2 Duo is at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to minimum specs to run Lion. In order to run Lion I've upgraded the ram from 1Gb to 2Gb. Technically, you can install up to 4Gb but it will only address 3Gb. If DDR2 ram prices were cheaper I'd have gone for that. If only it was DDR3 - those prices have fallen through the floor. Oh well! :-)

I've also stuck in an SSD. It will be interesting to see the speed differences.

Final step is to install Lion. I made a copy when I upgraded my MacBook Pro. If you want to know how to do that Lifehacker has a good guide.

This is my desktop, Background is from nasa via gizmodo:

The stats are running in Samurize. Each graph represents one core. The left monitor is the processor temp. The right monitor is the % processor time. Each has a ring around them which is a bit difficult to see right now. On the right most monitor is my IP and on the left most monitor is free ram.

The bar at the top is rocket dock with the stacks widget and the tiles icons were downloaded from their website as well. I made a few of them.

Hope you enjoy this. I have the config file if you want it.

The lifehacker post inspired me to post up what I normally pack up for shoutcasts and podcasts. I'll see how well tagging works, but Important components are the Kodak Zi 8 with wide angle lens and Zoom H4n Audio recorder (above the iPad), Plastic bag full of cables and adaptors inside a plastic box to help with faster cleanup, Portable charger and mic flag (above the cable box
