Office of Tim Holmes, Apple IL3, 1998
This is a panorama of my 2nd floor interior office at Apple's Infinite Loop campus taken in 1998. I'd most recently been the Evangelist for Copland, as evidenced by the various Mac OS 8 labeled items, such as the water and beer bottles and cup.
You can also see an OpenDoc frisbee, my MacHack award (the hammer and chisel which airport security were not thrilled about), early sketches of a prior Developer CD just above a toy Mac OS 8-branded 18-wheeler truck, which Claris presented to the Apple folks involved in the release.
You can't read it, but on my door you can see a letter from an Apple customers who wrote to me who spoke japanese, but little english. The main point of his missive is encapsulated in the sign below it: "Be Survival Apple."
The series of business card-sized tickets laid out on an 8.5x11" sheet with a black border, above and to the left of the frisbee are the tickets I created (using FileMaker to automatically number them) to which gave developers access to the Copland lab to try their code.
Over 2000 developers did so and the effect was exactly as I was instructed by my boss to achieve. They all came away understanding why they weren't going to be taking a copy of Copland home at WWDC.
From what I can tell, that looks like a PowerBook 5300 and a Newton 2100. To the right, on the desk, is a QuickTime VR rig. I don't think I used that 5300 for very long. What a beast.
The Mr. Potatohead on shelf to the right was, if I recall correctly, a Secret Santa gift with the joke having to do with OpenDoc and components.
The Lava lamp is a one of a kind. I requested it from the Lava Light company to see how it would look as an Apple Design Award. I had it sent with no coloration at all in all white. Turns out when you take the coloration out of the lava and liquid (as the Lava folk were adamant to call it), it just looks like fat floating in oil. And thus ended a possible partnership between the Lava Light company and Apple, Inc.
You can't blame me for trying.
One more thing: the cubicle directly across the hall from this office used to be one of several open lounge areas, but as Apple employee numbers rose these were filled in with cubes. They weren’t so bad as they had direct access to a small deck that opened off of the lounges.
