(A bit late in responding because I somehow overlooked your post.)

Got a kick out of the picture, snugs. My desk is much worse, at the moment anyway. It's okay, though, because a cluttered desk is a sign of brilliance... Of course, I've not an ounce of evidence to back up such a claim.

I'm curious, what is that grey electrical device in the stand? It looks like a bar code scanner of some sort.
