Studio
Since I’ll probably be spending a lot of time in this room, here’s a quick photo of my desk in Studio.
I find it funny that I swore I’d never find a use for the camera in my phone, and I in fact wanted a phone without a camera. I got this particular phone only because of the bluetooth capabilities (Sony-Ericsson T610). However, I’m now finding the camera useful for things like taking quick and dirty photos of places or things to post to my blog. Even though the quality is so poor, the pictures are still something I can share to give you an idea of what’s been going on.
I wonder if the designers who crammed a camera into a cell phone anticipated such behavior, or if they were simply looking for a new feature to add. I happen to think it’s all an accident, that given new technology in a form that’s accessible and convenient to use, people will figure out how they want to use it.
Anyway, apparently the furniture in Studio is all custom, designed and built by the architect who did the remodel of the school building. I find the space works pretty well…there’s a community feel to the space, and the chairs are comfortable. I like it. Sure, there’s been some fighting over who gets the red chairs, and we have a temperamental network connection (which is still faster than the one in the dorms), but they’re minor issues.
Time to get dinner and then it’s off to do some more work. Ciao!
