Also note, Murakami-san has the only pencil eraser worth even considering using: the Staedtler Mars® plastic 526 50.

I'll tell the local startup incubator in Phnom Penh where developers sat outside in 40c on wooden benches (with plastic container over power outlet for protection on rainy days) because the few rooms inside were occupied (no a/c).
Can you tell more about this startup incubator? Where is situated? Does it have a website? Thanks!
http://smallworldcambodia.com. Check out the video. They have a really good thing going on there, great community of startups and a positive vibe.

I don't even need to see the chair. Just the mere positioning of the screen makes me cringe. The article mentions vinyl records, a coffe mug, a baseball figurine... That's hardly the kind of equipment that comes to my mind when I think of an office. How does it make it a dream office when the only relevant material mentioned are a bunch of pencils? This is just some guy showing off his music collection.
My home office has a bunch of anime figures and posters because it's my office and I'll decorate it how I see fit.

It's not exactly what you described, but you may like reddit.com/r/battlestations
It's close! I know that subreddit, but it's too much hardware-related. /r/macsetups is the same. For me it's more about the workplace in combination with the people that work there. I mean a combination of those subreddits and a site like usesthis.com with the possibility to mark items on pictures.
Yes. I recall someone describing their setup with a specific Ikea desk, and how he mounted all their switches, wires, splitters under the desk which made all cable mess on the desk disappear. This motivated me to completely replicate that setup, down to buying that exact same Ikea desk. Still too hardware related for your taste I guess, but I think there would be overlap in the communities.
Would make sense if this would be consolidated in a reddit community, seems like the right place for a hobby like this.

#45Is there some kind of website where people can upload their office/desk pictures including better descriptions (like those plus-icons) and a little Text? I don't know why, but to me it's motivating and just interresting to see how other people work. And i don't mean websites presenting huge offices of big companies. I mean homeoffices etc. A few years ago this was really big on Flickr, but since "nobody" is really ac…
I actually started a Tumbler account to this extent (mainly for the easy user-submission aspect).

It's since been completely inactive - but I'd certainly like to redo it if there was some interest. Perhaps a Subreddit would be better suited.

#46I think having the monitor off to the side and not behind the keyboard and mouse would make my neck hurt. But, it's a gorgeous desk.

I'm always fascinated with other peoples work habits/spaces when they have a choice, it always tells you something about the way they work.

How are the albums, coffee mug, and baseball figurines not relevant material to a creative worker?
