This uniquely shaped office desk comes from designer Martin Holzapfel and is called the Bureau.

The design is a combination of two functions: a desk and a shelf, both of which can be moved around and positioned freely to fit the space in your home office, making it a great option for those with limited space or those looking for a flexible corner desk.

The shelves give the user the option to store things out of plain view and are large enough to fit your laptop, office supplies, or books.

Be Smart, Clip Smart

The paperless office was supposed to be here by now, but while we continue to wait, here is a something to make keeping your documents together a lot easier; The Smart Clipper from Smart Office Products.  It comes in three sizes: Large, Medium, and Small. Good thinking there. One size never fits all. It also makes a good bookmark.

I particularly like that it stacks flat on the desk. The aesthetics of my home office leave enough to be desired without making the piles of paper on my desk look like leaning towers about to fall over when I sneeze. The clipper also evidently comes in handy for sealing the bags inside cereal bags. I guess that qualifies as thinking inside-the-box.

Keyboards are disgusting.  An average keyboard supposedly accumulates more germs than a public toilet, and if used by people half as lazy as me,  is usually smudged with dried palm sweat, and copious amounts of Cheeto’s crumbs.  Luckily for me, there is a new way to clean your keyboard.

This goopy substance that somewhat resembles a giant booger is called the Cyber Clean, and promises to give your keyboard a good cleaning by using “a combination of viscosity and elasticity to sink right into cavities, absorbing dirt and other residues whilst killing germs on the surface”.

When it comes to working in a corporate office, the only thing that disappears faster than leftover cupcakes in the kitchen is your pen supply.  While pen borrowing/theft is common practice, and generally considered acceptable in times of need, it ultimately becomes a burden for those of us forced to make a trip to the supply room every day.  Sure, stockpiling a years worth of pens in your drawer is an easy solution, but if you are looking for a more classy approach to deal with the situation, let me suggest the Borrow My Pen? pens.  Each set contains 8 pens marked with advertisements for companies you probably don’t want to be associated with.  Put these in your pen jar, and watch as rumors start circulating, and reputations get ruined.
