I work at home on my computer too. I also build legos in my office, because
I'm into Mindstorms. I thought maybe I could build the robots downstairs,
and bring them to the office only for programming, but that doesn't really
work. Also, some of the newer kits only have instructions on the computer,
such as Droid Developer Kit and the Ultimate Builder Set. And I also like to
build lego robotics mechanisms I read about on the net, and need the pictures.
But it is a tremendous distraction to have them in the room while I'm trying
to work. It helps to box them all up in their Plano boxes and stack them up
with the least useful parts on top. Now if I could only make Lugnet
unavailable during working hours...
