It really does pay off to take some time (and spend some money) to get your computer/office layout dialed in. Mine is very minimal, but with the addition of a brand new chair yesterday (a $65 floor display model from Office Depot), is just about perfect! The only thing I am waiting to upgrade…is my computer.

All right, You’re right Ravi. I’m going to clean up the desk and do the challenge. This is going to be way harder than the blogging challenge.
I used to argue with my mother that I didn’t need to clean my room, because entropy would eventually lead everything to its correct place given enough time.
sweet! ya better take pics as evidence!
