Here, you can post a photo of the layout of your desk, computer or study area. Try to keep them in spoilers or if it's really big (ie. >2 MB), then just post a link.

Here's the twist: you can post a scavenger hunt for items on your desk, so we can find them.

I'll start off.

Spoiler:


Can you find? (in order of difficulty):
  • A Gameboy Colour
  • A Ferrari
  • A laptop HDD (not in the laptop)
  • A Guns 'N Roses emblem (almost impossible. The round one with the gold border if it helps)
EDIT: I'm going to clean the desk out, now. I don't even use that screen...

I thought that the laptop HDD (not in the computer) was in that static resistant bag to the left of his power button on the HP DV1000-ish computer.

(I'll post up mine later when I get a chance)
Equipment:

You're right about the location and the computer model. *gives gluten-free cookie* :D

Guys, you should probably hide the comments about locations, but meh.

That's really tidy, Ctep; anyone else willing to give it a go?

Oh, is that the HDD on the shelf of the second image? Back-right of the shelf, or is that one you mentioned? Also, I thought that was the Vista case with the curvy corner? What did you mean by "not quite"?

  • Scrubs seasons DvDs - Behind the Orange Juice. Go Scrubs!
  • Video cable adaptor - Is that it, under the screen? The white thing?

My next guess for the glue stick is in the pencil bag.
Archer: what I meant by not quite, is that you are correct that the case with the curved corner is indeed a microsoft product case, however it was originally a Live OneCare box recycled as a storage for beta DvDs. Keep looking. As for your guess with the video adapter, look a little lower, the white thing under the screen is actually my power block.

I actually meant the white thing behind the iPod Touch. What is that?
I guess the adaptor is the white USB thing next to your Graphics Tablet?
And would that be the Vista case in the blue-green case, next to the dummies books?

I'm bad at this.

Oh, Fantomix, are you refering to what looks like a Bostik Blustick?

Ok you got all of them.
That white blcok behind my iPod is actually a second wall plug I can use on my power brick that allows me to use 2 prong outlets. It comes in really handy when traveling because it means I don't have to lug around that long 3 prong extension that the power brick is currently plugged into. (also that 'dummies book' as actually my textbook for Mac OS X Support Essentials which allows me to gain certification as an Apple Authorized support member. I'll be getting the hardware support book after they revise it for the unibody notebooks.)

lol, Transparency, I can't see a thing. Did you take that with your phone? You should try to redo it with adjusted focus. Guys, remember to put images in spoilers if you can. It keeps the page cleaner. :D

This is great. I sure trains you to looks outside the square a little.

The DS is on the bottum stand of the monitor and the pen is to (my right) the right of the monitor, on a card, possibly the E-Reader Card. The E-Reader is farther to the right? That's all I could find, horrid quality.

@ Ziraider: Wow that is a dark image, use flash next time.
Spoiler:
1.PSP - on the right side on top of the binder filled with #2.
2.My Pokemon card Deck - Under the PSP on the right side of the desk.
3. Co2 tank - On the left side behind that congregation of soda cans.
4.Keyboard (not on laptop) - Hard to see, but probably on a tray below the desk.
5. Hollister bag - Somewhere behind the tower.
6. a Chair - In the bottom left corner of the picture very obscured by the lack of flash.


@ Transparency: Steady camera, needs steady camera!
Spoiler:
A DS - Under the Screen
E-Reader - appears to be located above the right corner of the DS under the screen.
E-Reader Card - appear in between the DS and the iPod Dock remote.
Scratchie - not exactly sure what the american translation of that is, I'd guess a lottery ticket which appears to be under the iPod Earphones under the left corner of the screen.
iPod earphones - Under the left corner of the screen
iPod Dock Remote - Under the right corner of the screen
An iTunes Gift Card - under the scratchie?
An Pen - Behind the DS?
An Twisties Packet - Off to the left, it's the green bag right?
An Mobile Phone (Cell Phone to americans) - the shiny glint off under the left of the screen?

Apparently my post got lost.

Ziraider's pic isn't showing, and I can't make out a darned thing in TRANSPARANCY's photo. :/

Whoops, sorry about that Kinarii here we go!

Spoiler:
› A giant paper clip - On the right top shelf above the blue car
› Giratina - Up on top somewhat behind the White Bus
› 3 pairs of scissors - There are two pairs in the cup behind Giratina, the third is in an organizer on the same shelf as the Paper Clip
› A shoe - It's in the background of the second picture right in between the rocking chair and the corner.
› A tablet pen - Imma guess it's hiding in front of the blue notebook and you can see it in between the Deer Park water bottle and the can of Peanuts in the second picture.
› A letter opener - In the first picture the shelf under the paper clip next to the 3 Hole Punch
› An iPod nano - In the Dock in the second Picture

GO!


Ralph! I found the yogurt! You have at least a raspberry flavour and a pineapple flavour cup there. I dunno if it's in that stack but you should try Yoplait's Strawberry Cheesecake flavour.
