On: Ask HN: What does your home office look like?

[moonlighter]

I work from home full time and live on a Pier in the Hudson River right across NYC. My home office has a large solid wood workbench and a Herman Miller Aeron chair. There’s an iPad mounted on the wall running Status Board app showing some vital stats.

All work is done on my 27” iMac, while watching the curious life of liveaboards in the marina outside and looking at the Manhattan skyline…

I like your desk, it looks like something I've had in my head for a while done using retired scaffolding boards :).

I also live on a river though my view is not as good as yours I do love been able to take a walk when I need to think.

I bought that table in 1996 at Pottery Barn. It was ca. $800 then, but worth every penny. It’s nice and large and easy to move since the tabletop can simply be lifted off the wrought iron stands. Once a year I treat the wood with orange oil which makes it look like new.

Likewise, whenever I have (code)writers block I go or bike along the Hudson waterfront here. Love it.

What is the ipad on the wall doing?

[moonlighter → nimasmi]

Running https://panic.com/statusboard/ and showing emails and Google Analytics data. Instant, always on, very convenient.

What's the speaker/soundbar you have there?

Xtreme Mac Tango Bar: http://www.xtrememac.com/en-US/products/audio/Tango-TRX/tang...

It's OK if you use it with an addtl. subwoofer.
