Hi Chris,

Nice to find someone with as big a vision as I have. My goal is to get everyone involved with solving the worlds problems. I think the key is to change mankind’s attitudes toward toward each other. The financing for my project is a ten tier hosting site. I have 45 social blogs for people to leave their solutions. They can link to any of the 45 at LVThinkTank.com It is all free. They don’t even have to give a name or email address.

I am looking forward to your travel reports. Great manifesto on “dominating the world ” for good.

I call mine “home base”. It’s the place where you are safe from enemy fire

I have gone from having a desk, which turned into a filing cabinet, to not having a desk in order to simplify my life. I now have a fantastically comfortable chair, a nearby sidetable for the Starbucks and my Macbook. This forces me to handle each piece of paper ONCE, since there is no place to pile them up. I now can adhere to a daily “clean desk” policy as I do not have one. I do have two filing cabinets and a place to keep the check book. I forbid myself to pile papers up in another location. I have only failed 200 times with this, but it motivates me to do the paperwork that I detest as I do not wish to have a fire. My dear old cat sleeps on the old desk…..it works for me.

Hey Chris,

My new command centre is three new birch pieces from IKEA! I just need to get a hand to move them. So far, they are in flat boxes parked at my brother’s about 1 1/2 hrs drive away. Only 1 IKEA store in the whole of NSW, and doing fantastic business I might add. Delivery would have cost more than the cost of the items, so I am trying to be patient and wait for the trailer to be emptied of garden refuse so the big move can occur We were so spoiled on the ship with landrover roofracks and pulling into ports that had an IKEA store at our beckoned call!

Command centers are essential, as are on location bags. I love this post. I always called it base camp, but I like Command center even better. Cool stuff.

Nice setup u have there Chirs!, I bought the glass desk you show above, the only problem is trying to keep it clean!, you see everything, fingerprints, dust, requires allot of cleaning be warned, but it does do a good job!. I went as far as painting the walls in my home office a tone of yellow on 2 walls, and orange on the others, these colors are meant to inspire creativity, lets see if it works!:).

As for the person who said your space was boring, did they show you any pictures of their own space?, didn’t think so!, probably couldn’t fit the ferris wheel and the roller coaster they have in their own command center!!.;)

Glad you guys liked it. Someone else said it was boring, so the positive feedback is nice.

@John,

Wow, that is impressive!

Take a look at this guy’s “command center”:
