I've been living and working out of this apartment for close to seven years now. It has seen so many updates as my tastes have changed and my equipment evolved over the years.

This should be this apartment's final form! My wife and I plan on moving to something larger and more permanent, hopefully by next year.

I was once told that when humans spend such a large amount of their lives driving, they should invest in a car they actually like and want to drive daily.
