I thought it might be fun to document my workspace to show off the glamorous life of working from home. So, this picture above is my desk. It's located at one end of our dining room. The rest of the dining room has a dining room table covered in Jen's sewing/craft stuff. The dining room has no doors, but we've currently got baby gates on the doorways to keep the girls from wandering in.
The desk is an Ikea Galant, with the smaller 24" deep top to conserve space. On top is my MacBook Pro resting on a Xbrand Height Adjustable Laptop Stand. The laptop is connected to an IOGear KVM. This is connected to a 22" Dell 2209WA monitor, a full-size USB Apple keyboard, and a Logitech Trackman Wheel trackball. On the right is my iPad 2 standing in a Walnut Ledger stand from Stand This Up. And, of course, a glass of iced tea (sweetened with Splenda) and my Fidelity Custom earphones (for blocking out the sounds of the house since the room has no doors). You can also see a corner of the old PowerMac G5 on the bottom right, which I keep around for testing Pear Note on PowerPC and Leopard.
The blue thing in front of the keyboard is the exercise ball I've started sitting on. I like it, and plan to continue using it. It is definitely helping my posture and strengthening my lower back. I can't quite make it through a full day sitting on it yet, but I'm getting pretty close.

Very nice. The only thing I would do differently is have a anti-glare macbook pro + an old school 23' Apple cinema display instead of the Dell.
