Chore Day, August 1, 2020: Laundry and Resurrecting My 2009 iMac

/

At 6 am I started the day with a hour-long walk in the hills around my house.

Walking around the hood with my hat on backwards

My main chore today, after doing the laundry, was to connect my retired iMac to my Thinkpad W530. Certain iMacs will work as second monitors and my 2009 model happens to be one of them. All it takes is a displayport connection, which my Thinkpad provides. I’ll be using this setup for my upcoming temporary job starting at the end of August.

The 2009 iMac on the left is my monitor for my Windows PC. On the right is my 2017 iMac and my Cintiq 22

Here’s what I look like when I’m drawing. Normally I’m in a chair, but here I’m testing a kneeling chair, which I didn’t like.

This chair doesn’t work with my current table. I have to adjust the chair too low for comfort. To make this chair I would have to raise and I would have to elevate the Cintiq on an Ergotron arm. Too complicated!
