   Many hours are spent listing to music, coding and designing. I've recently added a 3rd monitor: http://mcv.tw/2az to increase my daily pixel intake.

   Awesome studio! Is the bike part of the interior design, or do you really lift it up and down the stairs all the time? lol :D

   It gets lifted up and down the stairs all the time. There's a second one in there now too ;) (a mountain bike)

   Love it when there's enough room to have a desk in the center of a room. What a beautiful place to work!

   Hi Dustin, wonderful setup :)
   Can I ask you a technical question? Does the Macbook Pro support 2 external monitors? I use an external 25" on a MBP 13", but I'd like to add another screen. Any advice?
   Thanks :)

   @Alessandro great question. I hunted a long time for a solution so I'm glad to pass my findings along. I purchased http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030S2XSQ/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002GHBW4S&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0DG2EKAFTQZ3A3G3D49Y which currently powers the 2nd external monitor. It's not as fast (dragging windows around, movies etc) as a native display but it works well enough for coding and logging. I use the right most monitor for terminal and various logs when developing. There's a few hiccups sometimes when restarting and you can't watch and DRM'd videos on the USB monitor (bough a movie on iTunes couldn't drag iTunes to that monitor). Overall the advantages outweigh the negatives for a cheap solution for more monitors.
