Those who work in the high-tech industry have no doubt heard the slogan or phrase "Diversity In The Workforce" from time to time, and it is something that I clearly embrace:

As you can see, it is a door that swings both ways. The above photo is my office at Adobe Systems. It only shows five antelopes, because it was taken in 2007. I have since added a sixth one, and a seventh is about to join them. From left to right, they were taken from 2003 through 2007.

I even started to give them names. I named the first three Art (full mount), Bones (first Euro mount), and Chuck (tasted quite good).
 
good on you. We need more openness about our hobbies like hunting, swords, and knives and guns..............

try and take them back, so they are not considered fringe activities any more.
 
What does the blue and white can or tag say? It appears to say "Pocard Sweat"? Are you drinking someone's sweat?

That's a can of Pocari Sweat that I brought back from Japan about ten years ago. It was originally full, but I decided to empty it a few years, out of fear that someone would drink it.

It was once accompanied by a can of Calpis (pronounced "cow piss"), but that someone became misplaced.

Anyway, it is a gentle reminder that the Japanese sometimes choose interesting names for their products. (My wife is Japanese.)

If you pan down and to the left, there is also a 32-inch Millennium Falcon on display in my office:

Love that pic, you must be the talk of the water cooler.:cool::thumbup:
Or maybe I should say the whisper.:D

Thanks for sharing.
 
Although not shown in the photo of the pronghorn antelopes hanging on my wall, here is the one I got a year ago, which is now hanging on my office wall:

Maybe. But the Falcon will make .5 past lightspeed. :cool:

Of course, if the BoP was cloaked........without the Force, Han might be SOL.


Ken -- No model of NCC-1701-D? :confused:


My workspace has no walls, just a 3'x6' desk since we went "Agile". No place for any personalization. :(

An NCC-1701-B would be really sweet. I fell in love with the Excelsior class the moment I saw one.:D
The "D" is definitely my second favorite though, and the one I grew up with.

BTW great office Lunde. That Falcon is awesome.
 
I hope they were taken with bow! :)

Did you build the scale mods yourself? Or purchase as is Ken?
 
Nice trophies! Looks like you need to come here to El Paso and bag an Oryx. Large animals, tasty eating, and they make nice trophies.:thumbup:
