Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - CASTING CALL: Clean Cut Pasty Desk Jockeys

I am putting together a clean cut pasty desk jockey calendar for the new year. Be prepared to show your pocket protectors, ergo keyboards and low-UV monitors.

I figured this would apply to more of us.

Submit photos here.

tell me where and when. My posuer-a$$ will show.

Dude, I just got a wicked tan from my desk lamp.

Can I still submit a photo?

These actually appeared in honest-to-God newspapers:

I need some sun.

Yoshi, I am not worthy. If only I had such a stash of monitors.

I really appreciate slashdot and the TI calculator.

bah. CRTs... what are you running there, win 3.11 ??

;)

OK, fine. Mock away.

I have been going through withdrawal, but I am down to one 17" LCD monitor. I do have my sound feed into a 40 watt Sony amp with KLH Bookshelf 3 way speakers though.

is that half an orange or the world's greatest trackball?

I'm a big trackball fan.

At first I thought you were talking about Trackball, the amazing catch game by Wham-O.
But, no.

It's a trackball, alright.

If only that thing ran centipede instead of just space invaders.

I guess I have to shave the beard. Should be extra pale under there though.

Let's see...BF on one server, E-bay on another, and....money manager/spreadsheet stuff on the other while the laptop cranks out your tunes.

Am a pretty close? :D

Nice. Is that mixer integrated, like the SSL, or are you running Pro Tools w/ Logic?

I'll see if I can get some photos of me in retouching hell (cinema displays, photoshop, tablet, keyboard ... never enough ram, etc.). I don't think my nipples have seen the light of day in about 4 years, so you may have to turn the brightness on your monitors down before you look at the pics.

yeah i'll get some up by the time this calendar goes to print.

Damn you guys have actual windows (not the MS kind) ????
I work with super secret secret squarrel and there are no windows nor is photos permitted. do yo accept sketches?

I'm a digital retoucher. Any light other than colour corrected monitors and daylight balanced viewing stations is the devil. So ya, I work in a bunker basically.

and that's why I try to avoid print work. **** a pantone.

Nice view, Chimbly!

That light board is running a proprietary OS on top of a VXWorks backbone.

The laptop (and the monitor on the left, which is just displaying the same thing as my laptop) I believe was running Mozilla Sunbird (calendar program), the middle monitor was on slashdot, and the one on the far right was on ArgoUML.

Of course I wasn't actually doing any work, I was totally posing. I have a ton of monitors since my school has been trying to switch everything to LCDs.

Nice view, Chimbly!
um, that's the parking lot next to Green Lantern, a super-sketchy gay bar. the parking lot is regularly littered with used bits of the past night's (morning's) debauchery, and is generally icky.

BF has its own permanent tab in my browser...

I'm not pasty, but I have a Dilbert M&M dispenser. Can I submit a photo anyways?

What about Lab Monkeys? Do you need pictures of us clad in lab coats, safety glasses and rubber gloves? I could put on my hard-hat and respirator too just for kicks!

jyossarian: Yes. Of course.

MKRG: Like you have to ask? Post up!
