Here it is, my first picture on Flickr. It's my new nerdy man-cave. I moved my stuff here a little over a week ago, and now I have more space than in my room. I agree, it is a little more open than other man-caves, but that's because I'm only 15. On the left tabletop is an RC Car (I also have a bunch of those) I set up with a wireless video camera that streams to my laptop. As you can see, this place is already starting to get messy.
I made these in about 1980 I think. You can actually buy these for real now. I was ahead of my time...
Noah had held onto the MicroDock I gave him for his Duo 230, which added an ethernet port onto the machine. Happily, he also still had all the right drivers installed on the machine, which meant I was able to get it onto the internet! Amazing. It was a good thing, too; getting it onto the network turned out to be the only way we were able to get his files off of the laptop.
For the past decade, Noah has moved about half a dozen times, each time carting along his *three* old Macs -- a Powerbook Duo 230, a PowerMac 7100/66, and an SE/30. We decided it was time to get the data off of them and put 'em out of their misery.

Playing with my Lensbaby Muse with the Double Optic Glass, x4 macro lens and doing some fun stuff in GIMP. No bad for a snowy day today!
We have Linux! We managed to put Linux onto our old computer without too much trouble. Reading, uploading and description of this photo were all done on Linux. We are now spending more time on this old computer than our brand new computer.
