Programming with my assistant, Marvin the Pug.

Moved my office to a larger room in the house, but its still basically the same layout, except for the addition of a pole mounted 2nd 30" monitor. 2010 also saw the addition of the foot massager.

For almost 5 years nothing had changed, then one of my Dell Monitors died. While deciding what to do for a replacement, I took a Samsung 40" UHD TV from the guest bedroom. The image was so much better than the Dell next to it, and with 4K desktop, I didnt really need the real estate of a 2nd monitor so that came out as well. Orignially this was just a stop-gap till I decided what to do next.
Me working....

I liked it so much that I shortly upgraded to a 55" 4K Curved TV but that would not fit on my old articulating wall mounted arm. So I switched to a ceiling mount

At this point I was still dealing with single issue that bothered me the most over the years. A keyboard/mouse on a piece of wood that straddled the arms of the chair, and had to be relocated to get in and out of the chair. I had been designing my own ergonomic keyboard, which would be a two piece so each could be mounted to fold up arms built into the chair. Here some images during the KB prototyping phase.

Since I really didnt have any idea how much to offset each column, and I dont have a 3D printer and having parts printed is expensive, I wanted to at least start out with some reusable templates to get an idea of the spacing. Here are the first 4 had printed.

These could easily be retained in wood frames to experiment with different column staggering.

I got what I thought was pretty close, and had it 3D printed.

Here assembled and held together in a temporary wood frame. I had to do this to quickly test it out, because I made the thumb cluster separate so I could experiment with positioning it.

Although fully functional, it was a total failure because I had spaced the columns too far apart. I will go back at some point and redesign this, but I wanted to get my workstation completed and looking professional quickly, so I ordered the new Moonlander Keyboard. which I love btw. So now onto the fold up wing tables.

Fully reclined, by which I mean I have modified the lazy boy to reach the Zero-G position, which it was not designed to do.





Horrible attempt to get a whole office photo with an iPhone.
