The photographer for BC Business Magazine was over this morning to take my picture for an upcoming issue. They wanted to project an image that blogging can be done anywhere and at anytime, even when you’re in your bathrobe. Luckily, I just happen to have a nice Versante bathrobe laying around.

The photo session lasted over three hours as photographer Nick Westover tried to capture that “blogging in jammies” look. We took some shots of me sitting at my workstation and with my notebook by the stairs. Even Sally got in on some of the photos.

I didn’t get a chance to see any of the photos so I have no idea what they look like. However, I’m sure it’ll look better than this.

Yes, you really can blog in your bathrobe. Look for me in the June (or July) issue of BC Business magazine.

    i’m surprised that someone don’t know how to manage this, but here you go:
    just drag one window from one lcd to another with one mouse.

    it’s really simple

    John, I noticed your rubik’s cube! How long does it take you to solve it? I can usually do it in about a minute and a half.. although I’m a little out of shape now.

    Omg looks like the Mrs. caught you doing something you shouldn’t have been doing ;)

    And what is this about someone asking how do you use 1 mouse with 2 monitors? Doesn’t anyone else use dual monitors? It’s the only way to go!

    Nick is supposed to show up at my place around 6 to take my shots for the article. I’m not big on having my picture taken so this should be interesting. I sure hope he doesn’t stick around for 3 hours, that’s awfully long for a photographer to be kicking around.

    Look forward to reading the article, hope it’s good!

    Ever tried it as computer chair ?

    I don’t have the buying power that you do
    so I must limit my simple dreams to what I can eventually reach/afford :wink:

    They have been going down in price a wee bit lately since newer model came out.

    Witch one do you have ?

    Hey John, Why do you have 2 LCD screens? Does both share the same cpu? How do you utilize them?

    Yes, computers can operate with multiple monitors. With my computer’s Windows XP operating system, it only took a few keystrokes and mouse movements to set things up.

    And according to the studies that have been done on it, adding an extra monitor can increase your productivity by 20 to 30 percent. BTW, nice setup John. :wink:

    I use 2 screens in my home office. Productivity is far better with this setup then just a single screen, especially when trying to move data between a spreadsheet and email for example. You can copy from 1 screen to the second with out having to minimise and maximise the 2 windows.

    Wet ones and a stuffed animal — great decor you got there, John! I swear, your pictures just get better and better each time. You should tell the guys at BC Business to use this rather candid picture instead.
