In case you don't want to watch it: Linus' office is cluttered. He has a ridiculous standing desk with a treadmill under it. He supposedly works while walking on a treadmill. He doesn't much like the daylight. He has a 3-D printer on his cluttered desk. He keeps all his old hard drives because he's too lazy to wipe or otherwise destroy them. He has a lot of stuffed penguins and has given away many more.

In other words, he's an obsessive-compulsive vampire hoarder.

So he fits right in with the rest of us.

I like the sword. He has a European small-sword, I have a katana next to my computer.

To each their own.
