Office SnapShot: OfficeSpacey
Posted by Paul Mayson on February 3, 2008Seems appropriate that the first featured OfficeSpacey “SnapShot” is my own set up (click it for larger image). Last year we moved out of a tiny Manhattan apartment that had two 10′ x 10′ rooms. One for sleeping, and the other for everything else. In the new living quarters, we have mucho space-o. So much space that I have options. In the last 12 months I have been set up on the first floor (too noisy), then the basement (unfinished and too depressing), and now an empty upstairs bedroom (just right?). I like this the best so far. It’s not as quiet as I’d like, but so far it’s the best option. Here’s the cockpit…
Inspirado.

In May 2007, Time Magazine featured a photo of an office-bound Vice President Al Gore, and it landed on a ton of different websites. The productivity folks at Lifehacker, the Engadget set, the Apple faithful, and interior designers basked in the glow of the Vice President’s monitors while close to 2000 Diggers dug away. Who am I to not get caught up in the wonder that is Al’s office?

For the past 7 years I’ve advised a group of clients on technology helping them choose the right gear and set it up, organize their offices and systems, and put together websites that they could update, maintain, and use to promote their work. So when a photo like this comes along, it’s not just a fun, “make your own caption” opportunity, it’s a case study. Even typing this post, I glaze over at the mountains of paper and the three 30″ displays.
The great thing: I wasn’t alone. Read more
