I looked up those type of chairs and they are crazy expensive!
Are they really that comfortable?

yes i have an aeron chair and its a life saver. If you sit at a desk to way too long during the day where the apple watch might freak out if you didn't stand up for a few hours at a time its worth it. Also they are built to last. I think mine as a 10 warranty so over time instead of buying a new crappy chair at staples every 2 years it works out better.

Yes, but it's a different kind of comfortable. Not like a sink into comfy, but a keep your body posture good kind of comfy. it's hard to explain.
The first few weeks that I had the chair, it actually wasn't that comfortable. But after I got used to it and adjusted it correctly, it's just amazing. I can not imagine going back to a cheap Staples chair.

Hell yeah! I am just pissed the Islanders won tonight!
Your setup is always looking great! I don't remember - do you have detailed somewhere what all you are running on those displays? I know you have some cameras around your property and I'd really like to see the details on that part of the setup.
It's nothing too special. When I get home from work tonight I will post a picture of it.
Herman Miller Embody. I think the way I configured mine, it was around $1,400.
Thanks, that would be great! Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post here in this thread.
On my main (middle) screen - Whatever my main task is, whether it's Safari, Lightroom, etc... and I usually have Messages open as well. (Click for full res)
On my right screen - Usually whatever I am currently watching (usually it's Chrome playing YouTube, Netflix, or NHL Game Center). (Click for full res)
On my left screen - Top left are my IP cameras, right is iTunes, bottom left is my AIM buddy list (Messages app), and next to that are sticky notes which I just use to right random things that I need to remember. (Click for full res)
my fellow mythical beast brethren.......lmao at your buddy list name under the the ip camera viewer

Oh god, I must've named my buddy list that over 10 years ago. I just don't have the heart to change it to something more adult. And hell yes, I love R&L, notice my coffee mug in my setup?
I use Foscam IP cameras. They do the job, but I do want to upgrade to something with a DVR.
My desk at work - this Mac Pro we just got in for one of our other offices, so I'm getting a chance to play with it for a week or so. Typically I have a 15" MacBook Pro on an MStand, along with the OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock (replaced a Belkin that had a bad ethernet port). The monitor is Dell U2713HM, running at 2560x1440. Rellay like the monitor
never mind the table top how about a components list you are running on that bianchi
Nice set up
It's a slab of solid pine. Got it from IKEA some years ago, not sure if they still sell it. It came untreated and I spent a couple weeks varnishing it-- it's got at least a dozen layers on there. The table has been through quite a lot...but I think the time I spent doing that paid off

Thanks, it's just running all stock right now. Thinking I might convert it into single speed later this year and upgrade all the parts, we'll see!

Both are very nice!!
Your bike isn't a single speed already? Or is it a fixed gear?
It's a fixed. Might throw a flipflop hub on there in the future to make it SS. I have a road bike already though, so I might not. If I really want to coast, I could just take that one out instead.
Home Office... continued.
I posted this first photo last week:
At the desk is a Mid-2010 8-core Mac Pro, an Apple 27-inch LED display, a NEC 27-inch LED Display, a 13-inch MacBook Air, Wacom Intuos4 Medium, plus miscellaneous versions of hard drive/storage and UPSs under the desk.
The living room and the office are actually the same room:
There is more seating, not pictured.
I modified my coffee table top to slide forward to reveal a keyboard and trackpad... so I can control Plex (running on a Core i5 mini) from my couch.
The cupboards above the TV house network equipment (managed switch, router etc), a UPS, and storage (hard drives, RAID, etc).
...and here's the boss.

I like this, this style looks very similar to my old apartment. Everything is nicely organized and spaced out.
