Good afternoon!

I'm currently slaving over a hot Drone Machine

Missus has gone out so I've done my usual... Nothing worthwhile, apparently haha!

 

Well, practice makes perfect, ya? ??

If only America could import polite behavior from them...

I wonder if you could play the Hokey Pokey as 12 bar blues...  I mean, you should be able to handle the turn-around, ya? ?

What would Confucius think of our repetitive, expletive-filled, auto-tuned, Top-40 crap I wonder...

I thought this going towards a Ginger or Maryann  kind of thing. But - really it's all about Betty or Wilma. Or was it Thelma Lou or Juanita?

We took the "Island" path in another thread RBH but, if you're into cave dwellers, who am I to make fun of bizarre fetishes? ?

Took a quick pic of my setup.  Probably could have done a better job, but it will do for now!

The little black cabinet on the right not only holds my trackball mouse, but my coffee (on a warmer) and my phone (on a wireless charger).

The extra wrist rest you see above my keyboard I use to hold the bottom (actually the right edge) of my monitor when it's in portrait rotation.  The red ball is a gel squeeze ball that you see! ?

Considering I sit in front of this 90+ hours a week currently (between my business partner and I we have two old businesses that still barely pay the bills plus a startup that consists of two separate companies including a franchise), my work environment has to be comfortable.  Free time?  No idea what that is! ?

@craigb, one additional question; how is your desk/workstation arranged as far as the placement of keyboard, mouse, etc.?

BIG 40" 4k monitor so I don't have to turn my head between multiple monitors (I usually keep the resolution at 2k so I have plenty of screen real estate, but nothing is too small).  Keeping your head pointed straight in front of you is very important.  Tilting of any kind is bad, but the worst is tilting down and to the side; an excellent way to get a pinched nerve!

As mentioned elsewhere, I have the monitor up a bit and even have it on an arm so I can rotate it 90 degrees when needed.  This gives me plenty of room in front of it for a wireless keyboard with the shown wrist rest right in front of it.  In my case, I have a small, desk high, cabinet just to the right of my main area (12" deep by 13" wide).  I keep my wireless trackball mouse on that with a mini-gel wrist rest (same company as the big one, "innovera").  Since I'm a big guy, it feels very natural, like an extension of my arm.

The quickest way to get a million dollars in the music biz is to start out with two million.

That reminds me of the old quote about trading commodities: "The best way to make a small fortune trading commodities, is to start with a large fortune!"

I do, but more convenient to just keep replaying it. Sort of like staring at a Lava Lamp?

C'mon man!  Think of the volcanos!!!  ?

 and  and

Almost 50 years of using keyboards and I've never had carpal tunnel or other RSI.  Note that using the mouse above does cause extra strain on your thumb, but breaks and exercise are the keys.

Wow, the guitar we all wanted 20 years ago!  They did a good job with that one.

You do realize that's just the intro to Andy's newest song, right?

I suggest downloading it so you can loop it. ?

Found this wallowing around on page 18...

From the back of a Maple Syrup bottle...

For reference, four tablespoons of straight sugar would be 57.2g...

When are they gonna make it look more like win 8?

Not sure what that looked like.  I skipped right over it!  (And would stay with 7 if I could...)

Can't believe that nobody has mentioned Nickelback yet..........?

 

Really though.........?

OR......

 

 

You can keep the syrup.

Um, can I use both? 

I've always said that I never want to be rich and famous (just rich).

Hmm. Rush didn't make the list?

Neither did the Mystery!

Maple syrup was definitely the first thing that came to my mind.  Love the stuff!  (Don't love the 63% sugar though...)

I think we can all agree, crude oil on your pancakes or waffles, just doesn't taste as good. ?
