You know it's a big reading and writing day when I put on the Doberman socks
In the foreground is a book titled Manufacturing Rationality: the engineering foundations of the managerial revolution. In the background my feet are crossed at the ankles hanging over the corner of a desk, you can see a notepad and the corner of a black keyboard to the side. I am wearing red socks with the image of a black and tan doberman with cropped ears and teal coloured puff slippers with black soles.

Sickos meme: black and white comic image of a man wearing a shirt that says SICKOS with his hands against a window pane. His mouth is open and the speech bubble reads: Yes... HA HA HA... YES!

My favourite mouse of all time is the easyball designed for kids, I don't think it was ever sold but I just like it!

I don't do anything with design or usability now - since my mouse days I've become an anthropologist who studies the kinds of people who work at Microsoft but not the tech itself...
This is a picture of an old computer mouse. It has a large yellow ball centered on the top of a white base that you would use to navigate the computer screen and one curved rectangular blue button that says Microsoft Easy ball that is the only way to click on objects on the screen.

Don't know how hot this take is but the smell of old books in the library is a top 5 smell
