I know.

Haha, yea it needs cleaning badly :p

Also why is the x4 "stupid"? It's a brilliant keyboard! Typing is very nice, and the backlit keys are great when in the dark!

Is it necessary to have so many computers, tablets, and smart phones?

When you build apps and other crap for all platforms I would say yes.. I don't even have quite a few I need to get. I need to get Galaxy Tab, I need to get iPhone 4S and I need to get Galaxy Nexus

I wanna show mine, but my cables are just as messy. :/ I hate that, not matter what I do, I can't seem to get them organized.

ha that's exactally how i felt and then i tried to do a bit of organizing and it worked for the most part to the point where i felt the pic was good enough

Anyone else getting a kick out of the number of high dollar unshielded speakers sitting right next to high dollar computer systems slowly demagnetizing (or re-magnetizing depending on how you look at it) their hard drives?

The latest change to my desk involves the addition of a monitor stand. I think it was the best purchase I have made in a while as it really freed up the desk for usage. Not sure if I should post the old setup to gauge the change, but I'll do so hoping it doesn't clutter the post.
