A quick shot with my new camera of where I spend a lot of time. Somewhere I can go and geek out in peace and as you might expect it's full of things I've collected over the years. In fact, I never take anything off the pin-board, just put new stuff over the top. The most used item is well within reach - my MSDN discs (top shelf, blue case). I'm a big fan of O'Reilly books (third shelf) and the Addison Wesley "Object Technology Series" (second shelf). There are loads more - I have piles of books all over the house as you can see to the left of the laptop. There are also thousands of records (bottom shelf) mainly from the 90s when I was into mixing. On the wall to the left (out of shot) there is a huge map of the world which is great for getting some perspective and yes, that is a giant poster of Sarah Michelle Gellar - it was a leaving gift from Sony. The FHM calendar is replaced with whatever I get given each year. There is more to the right which you can see in the panorama.

Maybe this could start a new meme (assuming someone like Robert Scoble is kind enough to pass on the thought) - where do you blog from? (Send me a trackback so I can find you).

[Edit: I was about to post and remembered that there are two passwords and a couple of addresses on the pin-board so I've edited them from the picture here and in the gallery. Thats what the smudges are.]
