Since I just wrapped up a project at work, I finally found some time to decorate my office a little bit further. Wanna see?
The door entrance (and parts of my interior office) is decorated with all kinds of conference and trade show badges that I have accumulated over the years. I love attending conferences and trade shows and don’t want to throw those personal ID cards away, so I started collecting them all and hang them in my office.
My office. Nothing spectacular. Unfortunately I don’t have a window in my office. Instead, I have a mysterious-looking fire emergency door, but no one knows where it leads to, because ironically it’s locked (go figure). That’s my old keyboard there in the back. However, I pretty much never play that thing except for Tuesday evenings, when I desperately try to “cram piano performance” just before my weekly piano lesson. Unfortunately that never works out. Apparently, you can’t cram performance the way you do linear algebra.
So, this is my workspace. I have a bit of an obsessive compulsive disorder trait in me and like to keep my desk clean. Yes, I have a TV in my office, but no, I don’t watch TV during my work time. I happen to work on products for the TV space, and that’s why there’s a TV in my office (though of course, it doesn’t hurt to watch breaking news right from my office).
This is my architecture wall. If I wouldn't be a software engineer, a college professor or a film composer, I would have been an architect, as I have an appreciation for modern architecture. One of my favorite architect is Pritzker-prize winning architect Norman Foster who has designed a plethora of very majestic, modern and often sci-fi-looking buildings around the world. Recognize any buildings in here?
Here's a video of putting everything together. Yeah, there's always film music playing in my office, pretty much all day. What’s missing from my office? Some kind of plant or greenery, but that won’t work since I don’t get any sunlight. The other funny thing is that there is a basket ball hoop right in front of my office (see it in the picture above?). So, as I code happily, basketballs often come fly into my office and hit my equipment, haha. Ah well, at least we’re not playing baseball indoors.
