This is where the magic happens
It’s a little cramped, but I managed to find the MacBook a spot on my desk where I can still run all the necessary cables to it. The ThinkPad hasn’t gotten too jealous of the MacBook yet, but it’s ready and waiting to strike at any moment.
Ironically, Apple ruined my black/gray color scheme with all their white cables: white USB, white power adapter, and white mini-DVI to DVI converter. Just the other night, my brother and I were wondering why the black MacBooks come with a white power brick. I’m surprised that Mac users haven’t picketed in front of Apple HQ yet.
The headphones are Sennheiser HD-280 Pros, and the keyboard is a Customizer 104 made by the same people who manufactured the original IBM Model M keyboards. You can’t see it in this picture, but the trackball off to the right is a Kensington Expert Mouse. The mug at the very top of the frame was holding my hot chocolate until I drank it all, courtesy of Media Temple.
