Someone asked me what I want for my ProBlogger Birthday. I said nothing – that was until I saw this:
Could this be every blogger’s dream?
The reality however is probably a little more like this for many bloggers:

Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

It’ll be every blogger’s nightmare if the screws work loose :-)

Well I dunno, I rather fancy this:
Or perhaps the one in the pic in the top left corner…

Looking at that top pic I’m glad to see that you’re dreaming of a Windows based PC and you’ll be joining the rest of us soon :-)

NEVER!
I’m just waiting for them to announce their upgrades to the PowerMac and I’ll be buying one of those with two nice big 20 or 23 inch cinema screens. :-)

Notice that the top set-up is for a single bed. I’m guessing that blogger hasn’t had a companion in a while.

Ooooh. I just got a 23″ cinema display this week. Killer. Absolutely killer

Darren, I use a 23″ cinema screen on my G5 at work and it is freakin’ beautiful.
The mac is a lovely blogging machine, too : ) I do almost all of my blog work on a tiny, 12″ iBook…but it works like a dream.
Wouldn’t change a thing!

Lei (Hsien)…I’m guessing that’s a common problem for serious bloggers ; )

Heh. My friend had something similiar in his bed. He used power cables instead to hold up the computer (and actually had the keyboard suspended as well!)
Unfortunately it led to a nightmare as he would never leave his room (why when you are always connected with T-1 access). The company frowned on that. ;)

Funny how when me and my friend we discussing what we’d buy when money wasn’t a question I thought of putting all my tech gadgets in one room. I guess I’d almost never leave.

you’d either have to get amazing vision, or a huge font

Perhaps a head-mounted magnifying glass?

[...] ProBogger looks great in Mac I.E. 5.0, though! What a relief to be able to read something legible. Just so I can spend the rest of the day without shaking uncontrollably. [...]
The BlogSpaces Project Is About To Begin
September 24th, 2005 7:13 am
[...] Well, inspired by a great post and discussion going on over at ProBlogger (which was in-turn inspired by this post at Gizmodo,) I’ve decided to start a little meme…I’m calling it the BlogSpaces Project. The idea is to get bloggers to take a photo of their blogging environment in all it’s geeky glory [...]

All I can say is that I knew the pic for about a year, but it’s a messed up German sitting on that smokey-keyboard.
Hints:
- Gerolsteiner (german sparkling table water)
- Repcid-something (daily dose of german pills)
- Gordon’s Gin (in the cheap german LIDL market variant)
- äöü umlauts are on the keyboard (i have a picture with a higher resolution)

It would be great having a monitor over your bed until one day it falls in your head.

I personally like the blog picture of a the guy who is lying sideways on his bed resting on a pillow and his computer monitor is also on its side so he can watch it…
crazy!

Not so confy as the bed, but more secure!
