Garlic soup, for some easy eating today.

We hastily moved some things around at home in preparation for both of us needing to work from home full time for the foreseeable future. I still have a lot of work to do in this room, especially considering we started to move post-isolation protocol time, but thought I’d share a look at my current desk setup
Some notable gear:
- 13" MacBook Pro (about 3 years old now)
- LG 5K monitor
- Amazon Basics monitor arm
- ScanSnap S1300i
- Ergodox EZ Keyboard with Godspeed MiTO MT3 keycaps
- Logitech MX Master 3
- Rode boom arm
- Audio Technica ATR 2100 microphone
- Kanto YU5 speakers
- Philips Fidelio X2 headphones
- Steelcase Gesture chair
There’s some stuff not pictured key to my home technology setup, including a Synology 1810+ disk station and Ubiquiti networking gear.
The wiring is a mess, but overall, this set up has worked quite well for the past few days. When I am at my office, I bring the Ergodox and the laptop and that’s it– I have an LG 5K there and MX Master 3 there as well so my setup is fairly “drop in”. I also use my Sony WH1000XM2 headphones there since the office is loud. Ideally, I would have a second Ergodox, a second boom and ATR2100, and a better pair of closed-backed headphones, but I can’t complain.
Oh, and here’s the guitars (pedalboard and Weber Mass 50 attenuator not pictured) that I have behind me in case I need to unwind for a bit.
- Valvetech VAC22
- G&L Legacy with Fralin pickups (SP43 in the hum bucker)
- Fender 48th Street Special Strat (with the G&L pickups)
- Larrivee DV-03R

Love having Wyman Park so close by.
From today’s “taking it slow being kind of off from work” walk.

Dreaming of spring, even if this has been a rather mild, snowless winter.

Spent our extra Leap Day recharging after some travel and cuddling.

West Coast means at 7pm I need caffeine together with my alcohol.

It’s a kind of faux monoculture millennial cool, but I can’t help but like the Moxy Hotels. One of the few lobbies I don’t want to escape the moment I enter it.

Today’s office has not been a hurdle to get work done. Honestly, the iPad Pro has made a difference here. I don’t fit comfortably with a MBP. I have to plan what I’m going to work on, but otherwise smooth flying.

Why is it important to measure? Last year I read more than any year before, and it was great! But I also felt like I went through long stretches of not reading.
Today, the Kindle app showed me I was wrong.
Elsa’s back in Providence tonight, so here’s a double rainbow from our old condo.

I could eat this every meal, every day.
Can’t complain about the view on the dog walk tonight.

We moved her bed to be in the sun because she likes to lay out in the warmth. Of course she chooses to lay right next to the bed instead.

A couple of weeks into the New Year. I got my shit together to start trying again and get a bit healthier. Progress has been pretty steady so far.

I sprained my leg and now I is trauma.
I love living in human scaled places, but I’m surrounded by hostile roads in every American city. I’m thankful both Roosevelt Park (pictured) and a Wyman Park are within walking distance.

Immovable object, opposes all motion once business is complete.

A nice walk on a not-so rare cool, not freezing, day this winter. In the middle of Baltimore City, 10 minutes walk from my house.
Car culture is having an option for number of parking spots in Zillow, but no option to filter for public transit accessibility.
