I have a few other things up now. So far the theme is "things in my workspace I no longer wanted in my workspace". For example, this crappy poster of the design process for a spatial workspace:


And of course, everything is retractable now. Click for a video, or just go over to my space and start pulling on stuff.

Unrelated, I made this poster for no real reason I can discern:



Maybe it will go up on the ceiling some day?

P.S. Thanks Rob for taking these pictures.

An idea I talked about a long time ago, making a 1:1 scale copy of our whiteboards in order to archive them. I think it was Bret's idea to hang them up on the ceiling so that they were out of the way but still accessible.

I took this image with Emily's SLR camera at the highest resolution with a few light-fiddling settings. It's sort of amazing how good the quality is. You can actually read some of the tiny grey text printed on those sheets of paper. I just did a little cropping and twiddling with levels to get the colors right.

Ideally, these would be hung much more neatly, easily, and accessibly. My next job is to put them on tool-extenders so they can be raised and lowered.

I think we should get an SLR camera for our group. Any recommendations?
