I finally got a set of pictures done for my house. You can get a glance at the new house over at the House on Sonoma Image Gallery. We have a yard, a back yard, a porch, a garage... we have a complete house.
You'll notice in a few of the pictures of my room there are not one, but two monitors. After going so long at work with a second monitor, I became very dependant on that screen space. I don't just mean virtual space either. Changing resolution or using a Virtual Desktop Manager isn't the same. There is no substitute for 2048 x 768. I never used to understand why people went so gaga-crazy over the Apple Studio Displays- now I do. It's not about resolution. It's about physical dimensional space. The ability to run multiple things maximized side by side and solve the problem where applications were meant to be ran full screen. Now it can run full screen, and you have a whole other screen, It is truly beautiful.
Just to round out this random entry, I want to say AT&T's $60 cell plan is greater than anything else I've dealt with in the 5 years I've had a cell phone. 900 "anytime" minutes, unlimited nights and weeks (nights start at 7pm, ha!), unlimited mobile to mobile for AT&T and Cingular customers, no long distance, no roaming. Over 2800 minutes total for this last month, and still 400 "anytime" to my name. I couldn't be happier with my phone and service.
In response to "House Pictures, Monitors, Cell Phones":
Um yeah dual screens are awesome. I don’t have room for them in my dorm room, but I’ve gotten to use them occasionally at work, and when doing film editing. It really is awesome.
And the house looks nice too :)
