While those fortunate enough to work from home certainly have more privacy than the rest of us stuck in cubicle land, they are still subject to interruption from uncontrollable forces such as hyperactive children, attention hungry wives/husbands , and the constant lure of taking naps.  While these distractions will never disappear, the “House on the table” by Soojin Hyun will at least give you the perceived feeling of having complete privacy for once.  The design combines a desk with four walls, a vaulted ceiling, bookshelves, interior lighting, and look-out portals.  Unfortunately only your upper body is hidden within the workspace, although I suppose that could easily be fixed by lining file cabinets along the bottom of the workstation.

The iPhone is finally facing some viable competition, as HTC recently unveiled their new Touch Diamond touchscreen phone. It measures slightly smaller and lighter than the iPhone at 4 by 2 by .45 inches, and weighing in at 3.9 ounces. Contrary to the current iPhone it comes with full compatibility for corporate exchange serves, and Microsofts Mobile Office Suite. With a 2.8 inch screen diagonally, full VGA resolution, 4GB internal memory, and the expected handful of functions like messaging, music, photos, and web access, this little puppy might just bump the iPhone on my wish list.

The temptation to buy one of the sleek looking iMacs is becoming unbearable, and not just because I love how they look, but also because I keep finding all these accessories that would make it even better.  This time its the Lowkey Stand from Macessity, which is specifically designed hide Apple’s slim keyboard, and help de-clutter your desk.
