Sometime in 1993 I decided that I needed a workspace at home. While visiting a soundstage I realized that it had exactly the "feel" that I wanted for my space: cool, still, and totally quiet.
So, I quickly set off to sound insulate a corner of my basement for my own "soundstage" workspace. Unfortunately, even through 10 inches of spun fiberglass, I could still hear all the children's troubles. There was also the disadvantage that the basement was too "convenient" -- meaning that I would end up mixing my home life with my business life. With work so close, there is always that temptation. The other way as well.

Landscaping started this summer...
And hope to do final roof in 97.

spaced-out on Win 95, and a
smartly calculating Amiga A3000.
And, no, that isn't the source to Java
on the right. Something much better.
Oh, and please excuse the photos... I just now snapped them using a simple Kodak "Brownie" digital camera. It has a fixed lens, so it was tough to capture the entire look of things. To over-compensate, I took a few other photos, listed below:
And, of course, there are some nice views from this location:
"View to the North"
But no wolf dog in sight. Too bad.
So that just about covers it. The only shortcoming: space. With only 170 sq feet, I am quickly buried... but, it helps keep me (forces me to be) organized. I think it is sort of like that old memory saying: "A program always expands to fill all available memory." Or, inversely, keeping the memory small keeps the program cleaner.
