| My
Office |
I work at home. Which
puzzles so many of my friends and relatives that I've devoted web
pages to explaining it. I'm still the at-home parent for my two children, but they're
growing up fast. When I'm not elsewhere with them, I'm down here in my office in the
basement, which used to look something like this. |

This is a computer generated image, not a photograph or a painting. At one time, the office was in a bedroom on the main floor, but we moved my daughter into that room in 1996. The office scene started out during the move as a fun way to plan where the furniture would go, and it became a learning exercise. The computer on the left is a no-name 133 MHz Pentium. It went upstairs for a while to serve as the kids' machine, but it's long since been replaced. The one on the right is an Amiga 2000, circa 1989. Next to the Apollo-era lunar globe is a Tinkertoy® model of 3D space. The real one has masking tape labels on each of the twelve cube edges, a big help to me when I wrote my isosurface generator. Among the things that are mysteriously absent from this image are the wires. At the time, I couldn't afford the extra polygons. I'd used them up modeling the keyboards. |
