It’s never been this clean.

  • Standing desk. Not really sure what brand but it’s similar to that link. We got this for free when my wife’s office was moving to a new building. Not fancy, but it gets the job done.

  • 27” curved display. My requirements were 1440p, 144 Hz, Freesync and not crazy expensive. This fit the bill nicely.

  • Aukey Gaming Mouse Pad XXL. Makes a huge area for good quality mousing. Only downside is that it collects lots of dog hair and crumbs. Maybe I’m just a slob.

  • This monitor stand. Cheap and good enough for me. Laptop stand is really nice with external mouse/keyboard/display. I need to invest in some Thunderbolt 3/USB C accessories soon.

  • Custom built gaming desktop (i5, GTX 1060, etc.). It’s a dusty mess which is why I didn’t include it in the picture. It’s below the desk, I promise.

  • MacBook Air. Picked up a refurb 2018 recently. Very nice so far.

  • 10.5” iPad Pro with Brydge keyboard. Probably selling this soon, just showing it off because it was nearby.

  • Wireless charging pad. Because you can never have enough phone juice.

  • Some terrible keyboard and Logitech M310 mouse. It’s a clicky clacky mechanical, almost too clicky clacky. It has some cheap knockoff blue switches. Great for annoying anyone within earshot.

  • Whatever $40 speakers Target was selling that day. Subwoofer-and-2-speaker-thing.

  • Xbox One controller. Can you tell I like orange?

  • iPhone X. Just out of frame, taking this picture.

It’s hard to capture, but this was the standing desk up and the laptop stand swung out. Not ideal, but until I get USB C stuff it’ll have to do.
