O.K. why not. Let's just start at the top left and see how many "piles" we can find.
1. Audio ripping station (pre-CD technology). Attached to some big, roaring, tower speakers.
2. Oldish scanner.
3. Old school slinky.
4. 17'' flat panel CRT.
5. Newish printer.
6. Pile'O'Junk.
7. Really old Papa Murphy's coupon.
8. Love note...
9. Handy, yet cumbersome, springy desk lamp.
10. Pile of papers to file.
11. Pile'O'Junk v2.0.
12. Script waiting to be highlighted.
13. Papers to sort, then put in the "to file" pile.

cue #14. "Kenshin", (don't laugh, it's been through some rough times too).
15. External CD storage device.
16. The hind quarters of "Cthulhu", currently gutted and patiently awaiting funds for a rebuild.
I do not claim any affiliation with either the ball of yarn or the book titled "Ancient Costumes" in the bottom corner. That big tower makes for a handy shelf, and things just get placed there. Otherwise, did I miss any piles?
