Finally got this disaster cleaned up. Computer is an HP Z400 with a 3ghz Xeon W3550, 14GB of DDR3, a 120gb Samsung SSD boot drive, and an (ew) Quadro FX580 which is turrible but good enough for my non-gaming needs. The screens are a westinghouse and a dell. Identical size and resolution, which is nice, though neither is particularly fancy. Keyboard is stock Dell and the mouse is a modified Logitech that has had some weight added to it and I’ve changed the button click resistance.
My everyday carry items. HTC One M7 running Android 5.1, crescent wrench for removing antennae at work, Big Skinny slim leather wallet, Carson M16-13 knife, keys to the miata, house, and Murdersofa, a butane lighter for soldering, and my work nametag.
This CAD U37 mic is really nice, though the long miniUSB cable is super prone to interference. Behind it are my Genius three way 2-channel computer speakers, which I have been nothing but happy with. I use the mic in conjunction with a set of Koss PortaPros in lieu of a headset with an in-built mic. For $120 total it outperforms my friends meme-status $200 Logitech and Razer headsets by a mile.
Some of my old phones kicking around. iPhone, iPhone 3g, MyTouch of some description, and my Lumia 925. I have an HTC HD2 kicking around as well running Android 4.4.4.

I like wooden desks. I’ve had a glass desk for a long time, and I’m sick of it.
A couple of months ago, I was kicking around the idea of designing and building my own desk, but that would be too costly and time-consuming for me right now.

This desk is utter garbage and weighs a million and a half pounds and is far too big. I hate it. I want a friggin’ table.

You want my aging glass corner desk? The keyboard drawer is missing, the glass is scratched and smudged, some of the metal pieces are bent as well as a handful of the fasteners, and it’s ugly as sin!
NO TIRE-KICKERS.

No low ballers I know what I’ve got.

I built myself an L-shaped corner computer desk. I think I used a single 4x8 sheet of plywood and a 2x4 or two. Cost like $50 and took an afternoon to build.
As I recall, I had the plywood ripped lengthwise, and then cut the other side so I had 2x6 and 2x2. I mounted a full 8 foot 2x4 to the wall studs and attached the 2x8 piece of the plywood to it and used the 2x2 piece as the foot at the end. Then the 2x6 was attached at a right angle to it and I used another 2x4 for the foot on the other end. Super easy project.

The M16-13 is the best pocket knife I’ve ever owned. Just superbly designed

I know me, and once I start designing it, I’m gonna go all-out with it. I remember designing something when I was in 8th grade. I included integrated speaker cabinets, a shelf just for a little TV with an Xbox built-in, and a bunch of other junk. I just know I’m going to do that kind of stuff now.

Sounds like a good project to me! I've been meaning to add drawers to mine, but haven't gotten around to it.

Did you have the purple camera thing happen on your HTC One?

Super attractive, too. I really want to get one with the serrated section.

I was one of the lucky ones and I do not.

Mine’s about 10 years old, so some of the serrated teeth are missing . The new serration design is better though.
