I absolutely could not live without my Discovery 975 Plantronics Bluetooth headset - whenever I'm on the phone, it's in my ear, and I have two charging cases for it so I can go 15 hours of constant use without having to plug anything into a wall. I carry my iPhone 3G with me at all times - it's the first 3G model, so it's pretty old by now. I sit on a knock-off black Eames Eiffel Base chair.įor portability, I also use a white Acer Aspire One ZG5 as a netbook (I would rather have had Linux on it, but it was a gift) it has an extended capacity battery which makes it much longer-running. It means that I use my laptop's keyboard to type on, and my displays are set up one on top of the other, the laptop's below and the Dell monitor above. Then the laptop, USB hub, and miscellaneous other crap is on the desk itself. The breakfast bar (which is a height to sit at on a stool) overhangs the desk by about 8 inches, and my monitor and currently-being-consulted books sit on the breakfast bar. My desk is a plain foldable table (the kind with vinyl wood-grain on top and brown metal legs) which slips underneath my kitchen's black granite breakfast bar. I have a slightly weird desk setup, due to how small my condo is. It backs up to a 750 GB Seagate Freeagent GoFlex external hard drive.
I also use a Logitech Performance Mouse MX when I'm at my desk. It plugs into a 10 port USB hub into which is also plugged an ancient 17-ish-inch Dell monitor (so old that I can't find a link for it).
#MUDLET SCIRPTS EXTERNAL PRO#
My primary computer is a MacBook Pro from about a year ago - a 15-inch Intel core i7. Finally, I'm an author of both interactive and non-interactive fan fiction for a variety of stories (right now I'm working on something based on Lord of the Rings). That means I'm the head of the concom - "the Galleon stops here." Sometimes I teach courses at MIT. I'm also the Minister of Magic for Ascendio 2012, a Harry Potter fan conference.
I also end up doing a fair amount of writing in-character Facebook updates et cetera, and even some basic interaction design.
#MUDLET SCIRPTS EXTERNAL HOW TO#
That means that I go around and talk to people in the entertainment industry about how to get folks more involved in their storyworlds, sometimes in lectures, sometimes in workshops, sometimes one on one. I'm Chief Participation Officer for The Alchemists Transmedia Storytelling Co.
