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.

That's the Wacom Bamboo Fun (Medium). It's more responsive than the Intuous I had a million years ago and it was only $150. Love it.

Thanks Christina. Wacom seems a great accessory. Though its difficult to choose between the Bamboo and Bamboo fun. Watching an introductory video to figure out the right one for me.

Will definitely get one!

I totally love the desktop wallpaper on Christina Warren's Mac. Do you know where I can get it?

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.
