OfficePOD

Wow, what's not to like about this! Behold the OfficePOD!

Some of the benefits of working from home are obvious, reducing commute time and saving you money while enabling you to be more productive. The tricky part, at least from my experience, is keeping work, with it's constant interruptions and home life separate in an effort to maintain the balance of everyday life.

I'm lucky enough to have the luxury of my little office, a detatched garage, just a few steps from the main house. But man, I'm really digging the looks and smart use of space of the OfficePOD as an option for a dedicated work space!

Mucho mas: OfficePOD.

Apple Packing Material Chandelier

Mac freak Eric Lawrence crafted this chandelier from the molded Styrofoam packing material Apple uses to ship it's laptops. What once cradled MacBooks now lights up with 16 bulbs (5W compact fluorescents) that generate little heat but produce the same light as 20W incandescents.

Nice.

The Just-Right Desk

Penelope Green, a reporter for the New York Times Home section, set out with a budget of $1,000 to try a number of new and old desks, seeking professional advice along the way.

Blu Dot's Desk 51 above was named after Area 51, the Nevada military base beloved by UFO conspiracy theorists, because the designers thought it looked "alienish." One feng shui expert called its color "super yang."

I''ll be doing the exact same thing within the next month or so but with about half the budget - stay tuned for my results. Meanwhile, check out In Search of the Just-Right Desk.
