Day 299 creates a tableau

Oh, hey! Remember this blog? I don't. Sorry, readers. I've clearly been remiss in my duties and I apologize. It's been a psycho busy weekend as I close out the last year of my life. I've been snapping photos like a fiend, however, and I present them all to you now. Let's get started.

Way back when I thought I'd start taking pictures of all the stuff I keep on my desk. This did not happen. What did happen, however, is my collection of desk stuff grew beyond all reasonable limits. There was more of my crap on my desk and wall than actual paperwork. Here, moments before being torn down and boxed up, is the final setup. I'll miss it.

Here's a quick rundown of what you're seeing (and where I added it to the collection).
