Nick Duarte's Winning Workspace Photo
We might not be the biggest fans of Apple’s new Magic Mouse, but we know you want one anyway. Cult of Mac Facebook fans the world over submitted pictures of their workspaces that allowed us a look deep into their souls. New Macs, old Macs, and Macs wading in saltwater tugged at our hearts in a battle for a wireless peripheral that could truly drive each to creativity and productivity.
For a full gallery of what we were working with, consult the Cult of Mac Facebook Page. We’ve also posted a gallery of cool workspaces that might inspire you to tighten up.
In the end, it was Nick Duarte’s optical illusion of an office that clinched the Magical Mouse. It could be that Cult of Mac was displayed on the screen, or the haphazardly hung pictures, but it was probably the wireless keyboard horribly paired with a USB mouse.
We can’t and won’t let you deal with this any longer, Nick. Your mouse is in the mail.

Thats what won? Was it the only entry or were all the others even more lame?

That’s an actual workspace?? Looks like a still-life picture, rather than workspace. Does the guy sit on the table?

Thanks so much! To Marian, if I pulled a bit further back you would see the chair in front of the table. To be honest it’s not this clean when I actually work there but this is how I have it for when clients visit. Depending on my mood and how many people come I either sit behind the Mac with the clients in front, or I have no chairs at all and just stand and casually talk. In between client visits the table is piled with contracts and camera equipment

Great picture. I love the composition on the wall. That space really needs a wireless mouse to complete the very futuristic style. Congrats!

Big CoM fan, but I too am confused. Are you friends with Nick? I just don’t get it. I should have put my laptop on my dining room table and taken a picture.

I absolutely adore my Magic Mouse. It’s the best mouse I’ve ever used, hands-down. Congrats to the lucky winner!
