INTERIOR IDEA – WORKSTATION TABLE

matt toveys desk

The previous post tackles on where to put your worstation if you have a small space.  Now here is an cool idea on your workstation table.  This table certainly speaks of Matt Tovey’s geeky obsession. He has created a geeky computer desk with 434 discarded Itanium CPUs. These CPU modules were scrapped during a supercomputer upgrade, and were most probably functional before the heat sinks were taken off. Matt cited that that the list price for the lot of chips was over US $800,000 in 2006. Moreover, desk touts about 2.8 TFLOPs of computing power, which is about the same as 900 3.2GHz P4s. That’s tremendous! He used a plain desk, fixed in the CPUs and added wooden edging and a beveled glass top. Now tell your friends not to throw those old computers but instead give them to you and used it as your new workstation table neat. (via Gizomowatch)

SIDE THOUGHTS

  • Overcoming fights starts with forgiveness. All of us have faults and all of us hurt others sometimes. This is human, and holding grudges only hurts the one who holds it.

  • Jesus apparition on a frying pan.  Recently, Toby Elles from Lancaster, England and a 22-year-old brilliantly left the stove on after he was done cooking and after he took a quick boozey-snoozey, he realized his error and rushed to the stove.  Lo and behold, there was Jesus Christ, looking back at him with burnt eye of grease from the frying pan.

  • Love isn’t a fairytale, it isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t always come easy. But it is something that we should hold on to for the rest of our lives, because it’s the only thing that’s worth fighting for.

  • Hero: someone we admire. Someone we look up to. Someone who gives us hope. Not a myth, or an icon, or a legend- someone solid, genuine and real. An ordinary person who does extraordinary things. A hero picks us up when we are down. Believes in us before we believe in ourselves. Inspires us to expand and embrace what’s possible. Helps us realize that we can be heroes, too - Kobi Yamada

  • Devil’s Pool - a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil’s Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth
