I've been meaning for a while to replace one of my old icons, called "workspace," with what my workspace looks like now. The old workspace icon showed my old setup from 2012-ish of my laptop monitor and a larger monitor serving as dual monitors on my desk. I now have a spare flatscreen as my main monitor across the room and a Dell pivot monitor set to vertical as the secondary on my desk, with my Macbook Air connected to both but closed and tucked out of the way in a desktop shelf when at home. (Macbook Air can't natively handle two external monitors, for the Dell I use a device that lets me connect monitors via USB.) Mark, inspired by me, has an almost identical setup but with an actual desktop. We set up our workstations side-by-side in the large north-facing room that's cold and doesn't get enough sun, and Mark's old workroom is now a playroom for our kid.

Here's the old "workspace" icon, a bad cellphone pic run through a bad sketch tag. I like my current setup much better, but it's one of the few pictures surviving from that era of my life.
