Michael Brough (868-HACK, Corrypt) works from a Mac Mini set up on a low table, where he and his wife, the musician Tara, sit or kneel on the floor; her bass and keyboards share the space with his electric guitar, so the home office doubles as a music studio. His backup machine is, in his words, an embarrassingly shiny gaming laptop with PREDATOR emblazoned across it in glowing lights, handed down by a friend when his old one died. He also dances and brews potions.
