       Found a photo of my desk circa January 2005. I was using a friends old SGI-branded Sony Trinitron widescreen CRT at the time. Wish I still had it :( It turned yellow and the R, G and B started to drift apart so I gave it away. Hope it’s in a good home somewhere.

       The 2005 apartment also contained this room

       The room got an upgrade when I attended J Allard’s “The HD Era Is Now” Xbox 360 keynote at GDC that year, and won a small 720p HDTV in their giveaway (along with a third of the keynote attendees) but I don’t have a photo of that.

       Also just noticed the modchip dip switches are visible on the front of the Xbox. Modding that thing and installing Xbox Media Center felt like looking into the future (and it basically was).

       Another photo of that apartment’s desk during the era when it had the huge 16:10 SGI CRT. With Shacknews loaded, which was the style at the time.
