Why share the office pictures if it takes up so much time?
Nothing exists in a vacuum. Back in 2007, blakespot posted this picture of his HP 20″ + Apple 30″. It was from that picture I got the idea to use 4 of the same HP monitors with an Apple 30″. Stefan Didak’s notes about his HP ProCurve Ethernet switch resulted in upgrading to the same switch he is using. I didn’t know about Ergotron stands until I saw a picture of them in someone’s set-up. I never would have thought to install in-wall speaker wiring and wall plates in the living room or the office without the folks posting pictures on avsforum.com. I learned of the Ikea Signum cable trays from this LifeHacker post; otherwise I would have spent 4x as much buying server room cable raceways. It is my hope that many people will learn something from what I’ve done to improve their own situation. I’d love to see pictures / write-ups of how you have maximized your productivity / design / space / sanity in your space, whether you have 1 monitor or 30.
Short answer: I have met some really cool people as a result of this office page. And no, none of them have crazy offices (or if they do, they didn’t mention it). Long answer: Nothing exists in a vacuum. Back in 2007, blakespot posted this picture of his HP 20″ + Apple 30″.
