Curator Command Desk
Posted by LOTGK on October 26, 2007
A message from the desk of the Curator of the Grassy Knoll Institute.
A few have asked what my computer desk looked like. Well, here it is. To the right is the new Gateway desktop. Model number GT 5426E, powered by an Athlon 64X2 dual core processor 5200+ 2.60 GHz. A 320 Gig hard drive, 2 Gig of DDR PC4200 memory, 2000 speed BUS, DVD burner, 2 Ieee connections, 6 hi-speed USB connections, and an assortment of flash memory card slots. Hiding on the far right is the cable hi speed modem. I have had Armstrong Cable Internet access since 2000 leaving AOL dialup for good. Let me tell you, Armstrong Cable is super fast as this test rated 4242kb speed.
A wireless Microsoft keyboard and optical mouse and an Envision 19 inch LCD flat screen monitor complete the basic components. Also seen on the desk is my external DVD burner and external hard drive. Hanging from the hutch is of course my Leg lamp, from the famous movie, A Christmas Story.
Right above the lamp is my cat Thunder, an almost 5 pound cat that sleeps in that compartment night and day. We call it the Thunder Condo. Our other cat Storm, an 18 plus pound cat tried to squeeze himself in once but could not. It was fun watching him. He got an A for effort.
The top of the hatch is where the 7 speaker and subwoofer sound system reside. Also the Logictech 3000 webcam. Top left device is my Dazzle video converter. Several model Jeeps adorn the top along with a very strange mustached mechanical toy. It is called an Oogly, and a video of it’s performance will follow shortly.
To the far left, just off the desk, is my HP PSC 750 printer, scanner, copier.
There you have it, where all the magic happens. (Patty says where all the farting happens) I also had to replace my chair, the last one broke, as I was leaning too far back on it and it snapped. I’m OK though. Nothing was hurt except my pride.
It is now back to work busting giant aliens and searching for the ultimate corned beef sandwich.
Any questions?

Yes, I have a question. What is that gray box right behind the red jeep?
LOTGK – Posted 4/24/2007
Gumby, that is my Lacrosse temperature and time projection instrument. Basically, it tells time and the temperature outside and inside.

love the cat!
LOTGK – Posted 4/24/2007
Yes, Thunder is cool. And so is Storm. As in Thunder Storm.

What team football helmet is that? Kick ass cat too.
LOTGK – Posted 4/25/2007
Greg, that is a Youngstown State University mini helmet. It is signed by coach Jim Tressel, who at the time just accepted the head coaching job at Thee Ohio State University.

LOTGK and his Mrs. keep the cats around to keep their pain in the ass brother (in-law) from visiting because they know how deathly allergic he is to them.
LOTGK – Posted 4/25/2007
Well yea, that is one of the reasons..

“2 Gig of DDR PC4200 memory,” What is a DDR?
jungljim69 – Posted 4/25/2007
double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory

I thought it was Dance Dance Revolution, an interaction video game that swept the nation several years ago.
I stand, err, sit corrected.
SIGHTER – Posted 4/25/2007
Whats that black round device on the desk, next to all the Cd’s?
LOTGK – Posted 4/25/2007
Sighter, that is the wireless keyboard and mouse plug in. It has to be within 6 feet to work properly.

Just to the right of the cat, what is that brown box with red and white lettering?
LOTGK – Posted 4/30/2007
Very good question Evil. That is yet another Leg Lamp from the movie, A Christmas Story. Here is the link to see it in action.
It’s A Major Award

LOTGK – Posted 4/30/2007
See Hilary Clinton. Actually, I will be putting up a video of an Oogly in action real soon. Stay tuned.

Let me just say that I was searching for my own YSU mini-helmet when you came across the Google. Having graduated from YSU…I am very VERY jealous of the Tressel signature! Where can I get one?
LOTGK said
I got that at a benefit when Tressel originally announced he was going to the Buckeyes.
Alas, I do not know where you can find anymore.
