I am not a tidy person. Much like choosing components I cope with this by having rules. If you don't have rules you don't know when you're breaking them. Rules aren't mandates, they're a thing to measure against.
We have a one car garage that is an office, workshop (recently: cabinetry, concrete, casting, electronics), storage area (mostly camping and sporting equipment, couple of bikes) and gym (dumbbells, pull up bar, and a heavy bag). It's about 250 sqft for all that. It was also a makeshift co-working space for a half dozen people once a week for a few months, and can be converted in about 20 minutes between any of these activities if the place is in good shape.

I'm Issac. I live in Oakland. I make things for fun and money. I use electronics and computers and software. I manage teams and projects top to bottom. I've worked as a consultant, software engineer, hardware designer, artist, technology director and team lead. I do occasional fabrication in wood and plastic and metal. I run a boutique interactive agency with my brother Kasey and a roving cast of experts at Kelly Creative Tech. I was the Director of Technology for Nonchalance during the The Latitude Society project. I was the Lead Web Developer and then Technical Marketing Engineer at Nebula, which made an OpenStack Appliance. I've been building things on the web and in person since leaving Ohio State University's Electrical and Computer engineering program in 2007. Lots of other really dorky things happened to me before that, like dropping out of high school to go to university, getting an Eagle Scout award, and getting 6th in a state-wide algebra competition. I have an affinity for hopscotch.
