Cleaning Up

It was spring cleaning time here at the Sadasivam household. This was inspired, in part, due to my daughter’s recent adventures. I tend to clean things around the house when I get upset (or when I am procrastinating). Fortunately, my studio needed cleaning. Here are some pics:

Above is my main work desk. I run two displays (one 19″ the other 30″). The 30″ display sits above my Apple IIGS.

Both displays are driven by my Mac Pro, bought last February. Ontop of the Mac Pro in this shot is my OneTouch 4 mini drive, reviewed a few days ago. The Mac Pro has 6GB of RAM and all its drive bays are populated with SATA drives ranging from 160GB all the way up to 750GB.

scanner, headphones and headset

The erstwhile scanner sits above its stable perch, a stereo hutch I purchased some 20 years ago. Inside the hutch lives my Brother 2070N laser printer. Best printer I’ve ever owned.

This is my other desk. Aarti uses the G5 with 20″ Cinema Display. On the far left is my Macbook Pro, which I use primarily for school. On the far right is a new container I purchased to organize my supplies.
The Camel pencil box is something I’ve kept since 5th grade. It’s a momento I picked up from India.

new organizer

Here are assorted sundries – custom stamps, magnets, and other goodies I mail out when people purchase prints or original sketches.

DVDs a plenty

Above: all my DVDs are now organized on a spindle. Our bookshelf went from being a wreck to this:

By the time I had cleaned everything up, I’d calmed down. :)

Anyway, hope you’ve enjoyed the mini tour!

    Yep, extremely clean. When I was in school I also had the same camel box. Of course, we used to call it a geometry box — not a pencil box, that was a separate thing — because it contained a compass, scale, couple of triangles, one protractor, pencils, eraser, and one more sharp poking instrument. Seeing it reminded me of old times. God knows, what today’s kids use.

      ah, yes, Rohit. Mine was a geometry box as well. I had all those components in mine. Now, sadly, they are misplaced. Only the box remains.

    On that last picture – do I see a small batmobile on the right top on the shelf?

Tell me what you think!
