A peek inside the TUAW offices
Each day the TUAW crew awakes from our hyperbaric chambers, slides down the firepole in our historic 2-story firehouse and gathers around the Surface table to discuss what we're going to write about. Oh wait, that's in an alternate universe I just made up. In reality, the TUAW team is a diverse group of freelancers based all over the world, working from their home offices to find Apple stories for you. There's no office except our chat room, no break room except our Twitter feeds and no daily editorial bull session with the team. It doesn't work like that. Instead, we all wake up at different times, read different sources, write different stuff and share different opinions. Everyone has a "day job" of some nature outside of TUAW, be it cubicle farmer or freelance pixel pusher. I'm pretty thrilled we've been able to do this for over four years now and our independence and focus hasn't changed.
While you can't take a tour of our real-world offices, some of our bloggers are sharing pics of their workspaces. Everyone has a very different setup, as you can see. Want to share your own setup? Tag a picture on Flickr with "tuaw" and we'll check it out.

I thought my workstation was minimalist until I saw Aron's and that humongous desk with 3 things on it.

A lot of right-brained individuals working for TUAW eh? (I.E. A few messy desks there...) ;-)
My workstation is a Table-Mate II with a Macbook Pro on it right in front of my couch. Although, when I'm feeling really productive, I plug in a 15-foot DVI cable and work at a desk with only a monitor, keyboard and mouse. (Difficult to get more minimal than that...)

Some of you live messier than my 12 year old son.
You know who you are.

I think Brett, me and TJ have the most, uh, 'natural' environments. Although Lauren's bulging bills folder is a nice touch.

Uploaded one of the pictures of my home office. As I am a full-time telecommuter it's pretty "busy" ...

I think I found it! I bet you know where everything though!

If it's the "corner office" in a mess with the two screens then it's mine! Home sweet home.

Uhhh, Brett has a bit MUCH going on in his work space and David is a show off! LOL Seriously though, I enjoyed this post and would love to see my personal space added one day (hint, hint)! ;~)

Actually the picture is really where I write from, which is not to say that I'm not a show-off.

Great setup Brett. Are you a musician too?
