From a past update:

"I launched the site in July 9, 2009 from a small kitchen in Botoșani, Romania."

I suspect that's the kitchen :) My own kitchen table during this confinement period isn't too dissimilar...

Yeah, that's my Romanian kitchen. The bottles are Transnistrian cognac, local red wine, and the empty glass that looks like a cooling tower is a Turkish tea glass. These are the rocket fuels that built Pinboard.

The white bottle is just Greek table salt, though. No fun pills.
