Zoom Background View
Fixed up my home office background for Zoom calls
Like many Bostonians, I have been working from home because of the pandemic.
Since it looks like I'll be doing this for a while, I decided to fix the background on my desk. This is what it looks like this past week:
Some Interesting Notes
I'll be taking down all the Halloween decorations tomorrow, I just kept them up for one more round of Zoom calls.
Yes there's a real Macintosh Plus. I was able to boot it up. I just need the mouse to use it - which I do have someplace downstairs.
In front of the Macintosh Plus is the original 5G iPod. The battery doesn't work anymore, but if I plug it in, I can play the music that I added to the iPod. This is the Firewire version. So it only works on some of the computers I have.
Next to the computer is some standard floppy disks and some Zip Disks. I have a lot more in the basement. I am only showcasing a few items.
The Apple next to the Macintosh is from a tree in the backyard. It was the only apple to grow on the tree. This was strange since prior years the tree did yield plenty of apples.
The "Hillside Pumpkin Farm sign" (In the center of the picture) is something that I got at Knotts Berry Farm. I remember having this when I lived in California.
The black bear on the Macintosh Plus also came from Knotts Berry Farm. I paid $4.64 for it.
There's a lot of Haunted Mansion items on the various shelves. These will stay around all year long.
This is my Scandinavian Design desk. I have owned this desk since 1998. It looks very similar to the Gammel Desk, but mine is Cherry not white.
