Six years of taking things off a desk, and the three that earned their place. This is less a tour than an argument.
What is in it
- 00:20 What was on it in 2019, photographed for evidence.
- 02:10 The lamp, and why it is the only one.
- 04:00 The notebook, and the rule about one line a day.
- 05:40 The third thing, which is not a tool.
Made with
- A borrowed macro lens
- One window
- A tripod that is older than the desk
The fourth thing came back in 2025 and I have said nothing about it publicly until now.
