Sean on the left, and Rob, well I can’t see him now the monitor’s in the way haha.

Dropped in to JB HI-FI this morning on the way to work, got the right cables and set the new monitor up. All the comments from the previous post had me a little worried that the monitor wasn’t going to be good enough but it’s JUST FINE. Sure it doesn’t do the same massive resolution that my iMac does at home, but it shits all over working off the laptop screen and considering it cost just over 1/3rd the price of a mac monitor I’m happy for now.

If I ever do feel the need to upgrade I’ll have to buy one of those new Apple TV thingies to turn this monitor into a youtube TV in the bedroom :)

Bought some of these letters on the weekend, couldn’t help myself.

Rob had a set of these horrible “art prints” (top left corner) so we got busy covering them up today with some cool posters (Matt Owens + Toki Doki).

Project FD is now up on stands, tools in the house!

10d dropped in with his crazy hot Scirocco.

SUGA dropped (excuse the pun) in too.

Dropped in to PC Express in Riverwood to see Jing who always looks after me with PC related purchases.

I’ve picked up a huge 27inch monitor for the macbook pro for a bargain in comparison to a mac monitor at $1200.

#frustration. Got the monitor to work today, all excited only to find the guy at the JB HI-FI sold me the wrong dongle! Grr!

Some art went up today, nice change.

My mate MERDA was kind enough to give me print #8 :)

Sergio dropped in today.

Beer o’clock saw us playing with some toys.

Fucker was hard to control lol.

The fluro red is pretty hardcore in real life. Not sure it’s going to work too well in the space. The yellow needs a few more coats but it’s the right “industrial” yellow unlike the very pale odd yellow the poles originally were.

Zen Garage stickers are free (all you need to do is send in a self addressed stamped envelope). This envelope came from the states! So cool :)

Some flying toys for the space.

I brought in a box of these girl toys for the boys. :)

Some girls in-situ.

Zen Garage Project Car #01. Sean’s non-registrable FD which we’ll be setting up for Targa.

Can’t wait to start stripping this thing!

Rob’s done an awesome job on this makeshift kitchen.

Office doors just happen to come in Tiffany Teal :)

Humble beginnings of our Zen Garden. We’re looking for more pot plants so if you’re in Sydney and have a pot plant you’d like us to adopt please drop by!

First day in the office today, it’s nice outside but damn it’s cold in here! Unfortunately internet isn’t happening just yet but I’m currently connected through John’s iPhone (speed’s not too bad at all!). More news as it comes.

The Apple Store experience is strange. No counter, sign your signature on an iPhone with your finger… I’m not sure if I like it, but whatever.

Mia and Max having a good sniff!

Max approves?

More sniffing.

Setting up.

I went in set on a Macbook Air but walked out 20 minutes later with a Macbook PRO. Glad Christina, and the sales guy pushed me to go with the pro. I’ve set it all up, mostly. Work at Zen Garage starts tomorrow!
