Took me well over a year to finally buy a notebook stand but my neck and back are glad that I did. The stand is Targus AWE26US Ergonomic M-stand which amazon sells for just under $28 USD and it is well worth the money as it is sturdy and holds the notebook at an angle that approximates a stand alone monitor. Tossing in a cheap keyboard and mouse set from Logitech kept the whole bill under $50 USD. Not too shabby.
Up on the walls are my basses, a Washburn XB-600 fretless and an AB-20 fretless/acoustic, and out of the picture is my Seagull S6 acoustic guitar. This past summer I hung them up in the hopes that I might start playing them a little more and while I’m not writing any opuses I have found myself pulling them down and letting muscle memory run through some scales and modes while I think about scaling websites.
Slowly it is coming together and maybe when it warms up a little more I’ll seal the floor and paint it which would pretty much finish the yearlong project of renovating this room as an office. Provided I can stay on task and keep motivated.

So neat and organized… I’m jealous! Looks good, though. Like that rusty red paint you chose.
Ha! If you could only see what is behind me or the complete disarray that my bookshelf is in the words neat nor organized would not leap to mind. Last year we installed a built in bookshelf that covers one wall, about 10′, floor to ceiling thinking that would be just enough space. Wrong. Everything is double stacked and there are books still in boxes waiting for a home. My desk is about the only tidy thing in that room.
