Shoddy photo from my phone but you get the picture.

Oh yeah! haha That came out of necessity since I have a tendency to lose track of time. My family insists I have a clock on display at all times (a clock that's a lot more visible that the Windows tray clock)

Man, my place is such a mess right now between piles of stuff for school and lack of caring as I'll be moving in a couple of months. I wonder if I can even get a picture going right now.

Almost forgot to do this, heres my setup:

I thought about this thread this morning and got to thinking about the bigger picture of how technology is changing and changing our lives as a result.

What I mean is this:  I can't really post any one picture of where I post from.  My desktop has been packed away for the better part of a year.  I've been posting from my laptop and my mobile 95% of the time, and I'm rarely in any one place when I do those things, even at home.  I guess I could post a picture of my bed, which is the most common place, but even then you are probably only talking 40-50% of my posts.

Being stuck in any one place to use a computer is a thing of the past.  I even feel like the idea of offices (not home offices) might eventually fall by the wayside in a few decades as technology advances and further allows people to become even more mobile-yet-connected.

I know this could be seen as old fashioned, but I don't think that'll ever be true for me and the way I work. I have very specific places where I perform specific tasks, be that work or play. If I compare where I paint to where I do my research work, the only difference is the tools I keep within reach there. It's like when I sit in a specific place I assume a specific role. I'm also not very fond of mixing the roles very much and mixing usually only serves my to diminish my abilities to perform either task. Because of this, if offices do become a thing of the past then I'm going to be sure and make two computer workspaces at home: one for work and one for play.

At the same time, there is something to be said about the fact that a monitor and keyboard really isn't that much different from a set of paints and an Xacto blade. While I might have more attachment to my computer, it's cool that it is really just another tool these days.

Yeah, I guess my view was a bit myopic.  I'm thinking more about the typical office worker, who in many cases really just go to the office to work on a computer all day.
