A Guide to Life Inside the Cubicle

Eclipse Office Partitioning System

The Eclipse Office Partioning System is considered the future of cubicle workspaces by some.

Not only does it roll around and look like a mini-spaceship (sort of..if you squint your eyes), but it comes with all sorts of high tech stuff. For example, the top shade can be projected onto, meaning the operator of the system can visually project themselves into any environment they please…like a intergalatic space battle. The Eclipse also comes with video cameras, integrated speakers, and embedded lights.

Sadly, the Eclipse Office Partitioning System by Marcus ward Curran is a mere concept at the moment, so for now you’ll just have to throw a blanked over your cubicle and pretend your in one.

Send Emails In The Shower!

Like many other young and foolishly ambitious working professionals out there, I am constantly on the lookout for new ways to squeeze more productivity out of my day. Despite the fact that I already spend 9 hours in front of a computer per day at the office, plus another 3 or 4 at home, I have been waiting anxiously for a revolutionary new product that would allow me to send just a few more emails per day, without sacrificing my biological necessities like food, and occasional sleep. Well luckily for me, it appears that my wait has finally come to an end. Japan’s Thanko is now offering the water resistant plastic laptop sleeves, which allow you to finish that important PowerPoint presentation while you shower! Best of all, its conveniently priced at ¥1980 (appx. US$20), so theres no need for you to spend hours trying to modify one of those Ziploc freezer bags!

All joking aside, I can see how one of these might come in handy while traveling, but why not just use a laptop case?
