Tour of my desk (Alex) 2/14/09

Hey guys! There's my kids' it on, but the video tour of my desk. So, I know John Dee one of these, but I'm going to do one too, just because I'm bored.

So basically, I'm going to be using a cheap camera to film this, so excuse the poor quality of this video. Let's just get started, and I'll try to use annotations to tell you what I'm saying if you can't hear me.

So first of all, I'm on my desk. I'll just start from the left. Here's a bowl of crap, basically. This is not useful stuff; it's just stuff that I don't want to get rid of and don't care about, so that's my crap thing.

Here's a bunch of blank CDs right here. Right here are two leather-like wallets or whatever; my mom just bought them for me one day. On top of them are these Ubuntu CDs. This is your new Ubuntu boot disk. Right here is a CD case of FPS Creator, which is for Windows, and I don't really use it anymore.

And cheers! My name tag from ID Tech camp at a university. I stayed overnight there. Here's my box of tissues just because I used tissues to clean my computer. Okay, right here, I have a paperclip; nothing special about that.

So now I've like mini koala bear thingies. I don't actually know why I still have these from when my mom went to Australia, I think. It was from there. I have those. Right here are my headphones; these are noise-resistant headphones.

In between them is this Rubik's Cube. I can solve the Rubik's Cube. Right here is my Nokia N810 case; it just came with it. Right here is my time machine drive, right here, 500 gigabytes; pretty small; it's a WD room.

Then, of course, in the middle of my laptop, there you go. It's a MacBook Pro; it's the one right before the bottle 50M 1-click touchpad. So it's opening. I'll just turn on this light here. I have like a counterfeit million-dollar bill and a few notebooks where I write down code and stuff in school, and I'm not supposed to be writing it down.

There's like a little piece of paper. Then I have a bunch of pencils that I never use because I don't really write stuff down. On this right side, I actually have some cool stuff.

Like right here, on a stand, let me just turn off these lights. Here is a Nokia N810 and that's like a Linux tablet that Nokia made. It's not a cell phone at all, and you slide the slider, and it does have a swap-out keyboard. I'm not going to be showing that to you today.

Here it is! Let me just turn up the screen brightness so you can see it a little better. This is pretty cool; it normally sits on my desk like this if I ever need to use something on it because I store a bunch of my files on it and stuff.

I can just click the screen and you know, start checking my email. So that's my N810. I just have to remember to buy that email I got. Now, right next to it, normally I keep my iPhone. Let me turn back on the light because I'm not going to show you my iPhone; I'm sure you've already seen the iPhone 3G, and it's just in a case sitting on my desk, not doing anything at the moment.

Right here in the back right-hand corner of my desk, I'll just turn off my legs again. I have a binary clock, and the binary clock is a clock and it has light bouncing up and down. If I actually set this clock, it would look a lot different, and it would have random lights, or they would appear random.

But for someone who knows to read binary, you'll be able to tell the time from it, so it's like a coded time. Right here is a CD from a program I made for the PC a while ago, and I really liked it.

Here's just some girl's phone number written down on a stick, you know. Here's a water bottle because I get thirsty. Right here is a Bluetooth headset which I never wear because I don't want to get brain cancer.

Here's another sticky note that I never used or a notepad. Here's a flash drive; it's an eight-gigabyte cruiser, and it's plugged into this colorful USB separator right here. It can bend and twist in every which way.

I also have an iPhone cable here. I'd like to keep my time machine disk over there plugged into the other USB port on my computer just because I'm that way. It gets the...
