Yo dudes, John and Steph helped me build my new desk over the weekend and it looks fucking amazing. We sanded the hell out of a thick, sturdy door and stained it. J-dawg has the recipe doooown. It was super easy.
Afterwards I spent time doing this cool "decluttered" technique, found here, in which you fasten peg board underneath your desk and tie up your various cables and electronic components.
I'm super, super stoked! Desk is HUGE and a way cooler color than my old one. Plus It's very neat and clean. There are a few cables here and there, it's hard to make every cable disappear, but the great thing is that it's attached with wooden dowels so it's super easy to reorganize if I have a new device or new way of arranging things.

Since there was some wood already available I paid about $60. $30 for pegboard and 4x4 wood (what's a forby four?) and $30 or so for the shackles to attach the pegboard (they are really gate latches or something). | |

haha yeah, stella was probably the most expensive purchase out of the entire deal. and yah, the desk is HUGE. i don't have all my audio stuff setup yet, getting a new firewire solo from ebay soon and I moved my boston monitors out into the living room so I need new monitors.
but i've got sooo much room now to play around.

implex: it's apple's bluetooth mighty mouse. I love it. I think jdg sold his though. it takes some getting used to, the sidebuttons (which I have linked to exposé) are a little tough but I use it to it's fullest every day. I guess it's a love it or hate it kinda thing.
it's about $65, but for me it was worth it. I'd try it an an apple store first.

I always ask people to look at my dork. Surprisingly, it doesn't bode well.
