> What room do you use in the house?

I have a storage room in my basement that I have my home office, music studio, and home gym in. No carpet, just a rug under my desk/chair.

> Do you have a special desk?

I have a custom desk made from a 72"x24" slab of IKEA countertop supported by iron pipe.

> What monitors do you have?

I have two ViewSonic 1440p monitors mounted on each side of a mounted 16" 2021 MacBook Pro. Three screens total.

> Keyboard? Mouse?

Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse.

> Do you work from a laptop?

Yes, see above.

> Do you move around the house?

When I'm not working on something warranting multiple screens (e.g. sitting on a conference call), I'll set up at the coffee table in my living room or in the kitchen.

> What other equipment? Microphone? Webcam?

- Blue Yeti microphone for when I need peak voice quality (giving training sessions, recording screencasts, etc).

- I use the webcam built in to the MacBook.

- USB-C docking station with power-passthrough.

- Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface into a pair of M-Audio studio monitors for when I need to get loud.

- Multiple mobile device stands.

- Coffee mug warmer
