New desk setup, with a Fully Jarvis desk and Ergotron monitor mount 💪 Despite what you can see peeking out below, this is the most cable managed I've ever been, and I'm hoping the desk will remain this clear for at least a week 😅

A photo of a Jamie's desk setup in "home" mode. The desk is a Fully Jarvis sit-stand desk, with a dark bamboo top and black legs. Around the desk position is a set of surround sound speakers. There is a microphone arm in the left hand side corner of the desk, and a headphones stand in front of it. On the desk, there is a nebula themed large mouse-and-keyboard pad, on top of which is a WASD Keyboard v3 keyboard (in bright white, green, orange and light blue colours), and a Logtech MX Master mouse. There are two screens, using an Ergotron dual monitor mount. The left hand side screen is a Dell UltraSharp (4k) 27" USB-C Hub Monitor - U2722DE, and the right hand side screen is an Asus PB287Q 28" 4K Monitor. Above the left hand side monitor is a Logitech C922 webcam. On both screens, the background image is a waterfall into a natural enclosed pool. Below the desk you can see an Ethernet switch on the right which unfortunately isn't yet cable tidied, as well as a USB hub that's also visible and not-yet-tidied, on the left. There is also a little bit of mess and some shelves on the right hand side of the image that couldn't be cropped out easily. A photo of a Jamie's desk setup in "work" mode.

On the desk, there is a nebula themed large mouse-and-keyboard pad, on top of which is a WASD Keyboard v2 keyboard (in dark grey, black, red and light blue colours, where the blue keys are in the shape of the Arch Linux logo), a Logtech MX Master mouse, and a Deliveroo-issued M1 Macbook Pro.
