Ergotron might sound like a transforming robot from Cybertron, but it’s actually much more useful. With the Ergotron Notebook Arm from Lenovo, you can effortlessly lift a notebook, computer monitor, or flat panel TV to a better viewing position while freeing up valuable space on your desk.
The sleek and streamlined LX is extremely easy to install, and allows one hand adjustments of your computer monitor, notebook or TV; move the screen and it stays with no locks or knobs. Swing the screen to show a client what you’re looking at, position your laptop for use in bed, or rotate your monitor lengthwise to capture more scrolling space. Not only does the Ergotron LX provide unparalleled range of motion, it makes your workstation look sophisticated and professional. You can also use two arms on the same stand to optimize function and space.
I can’t believe it’s not butter!
What better way to remind yourself that you skipped breakfast than a big appetizing notepad sitting in front of your face all day. Toast Notes by those clever chaps at Fred & Friends consists of a small post-it pad atop a squishy life like piece of toast. It’s hard not to smile every time you jot a note on this set-up; so have fun with your post-its and individualize your desktop. Aside from the hunger cramps induced by seeing food 24/7, you’ll never regret a little extra flare in your stationery.
Dozi Paperclip Holder- the perfect office pet
29 Jun
Gear for the Professional/Desktop, Professional/Office Supplies
Finally, a pet you don’t have to feed, clean-up after, or take to the vet! Dozi’s only requirement is that you always have a fresh supply of paperclips.
In his natural environment, Dozi is actually bald, and though the paperclips aren’t fooling anybody, Dozi will get quite self conscious without them. Depending on your decor, you might prefer Mrs. Dozi in Pink, just be prepared for an earful if you use up all her paperclips.
Korean designer Mika Kim adds another novel character to Alessi’s playful line of home and office products. The porcupine-like creature is fashioned from smooth PMMA plastic and holds paperclips magnetically to its body. Choose from a variety of colors.
Can also be used for other metal objects such as sewing needles or liquid mercury.

Monster Laptop Case- for your monster laptop
11 Jun
Gear for the Professional/Computers/Laptops, Trendsetter/Laptop Cases & Bags
I assure you that this puerile laptop case will make an impression at your next office meeting. I’ve even heard that Bush’s cabinet members use these during briefings because the big eyes and bright colors hold the presidents attention longer.
If you think Sesame Street-like characters could be distracting in the workplace, then you should consider the camouflage factor. That’s right, the Monster Laptop Sleeve will not only eat your expensive laptop, it will tort criminals looking to steal high end items, they’ll just dismiss it as a child’s pillowcase or something of the like.
*If you’re not a fan of the cookie monster blue, this handmade novelty comes in three other colors.
SPIKE- don’t let anyone steal your pen again
15 May
Gear for the Professional/Desktop, Professional/Office Supplies
Meet Spike. He’s the gleaming example for survival of the fittest. Over the ages he has warded predators and pen thieves alike by mimicking the appearance of the painful cactus plant when in fact, Spike is extremely soft and comfortable to the touch.
For those of you that don’t believe in facts: After Eve so viscously committed the most heinous crime of eating an apple, God smitten all the other creatures of the earth by creating the food chain, but he so graciously built in some natural defenses, such as prickers; and so it came to be… the Spike Pen.
If you don’t believe either of those, then Spike was created by Fred and Friends for people that want a little green on their desk.
I love this thing!
Store your pencil in the hollowed out section of the notebook and you don’t have to worry about popping the binding open when you travel with a pen jammed in-between the pages.
This really is more convenient than it seems; the people at Suck UK really know how to make some great products.
You can also use the hollowed out section to store a tiny rock hammer, incase you find yourself wrongfully locked away at Shawshank.
Comes in two sizes; 190×140mm & 125×90mm. Approx. 7.5 x 5.5 inches & 5 x 3.5 inches.
Apparently the pen is mightier than the sword; especially a sharp pen.
If you’re going to have something taking up space on your desk it needs to be creative, family related, or really really expensive.
Dead Fred, made by our good friends at Suck UK, is neither expensive or family related (unless you’re a member of the Manson family). It is however very inventive and will be sure to give your coworkers a chuckle; watch how fast their smiles disappear when you tell them how it reminds you of the last time you saw your father.
Talk Bubble Paperclips - Say What?
17 Mar
Gear for the Entertainer/Novelty, Professional/Office Supplies
Once again Fred & Friends bring us something effectively useless, yet so tempting to buy. I generally don’t write notes, or use paper for that matter, but I am going to be putting notes and talking bubbles in the margins of everything!
Each pack comes with 25 extra large paper clips, extra thick and plated in gunmetal black.
The Macbook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultrapointless. Until I can fold my laptop up like a piece of paper and put it in my pocket, it doesn’t really matter if it’s 0.16 or 0.76 inches thick. In fact I don’t really see the point in making it uber thin for portability just so I can carry around a tote bag full of attachments like an external DVD player special Ethernet jack attachment.
I will admit that Apple likes to raise the bar, and if I were to buy a new laptop today, I’d go for the thinnest most powerful notebook available, but we may need to re-access that which constitutes utility opposed to obsessing over smaller technology.
The Action Pad by Behance is great for people that have trouble with the traditional writing format of left-to-right / top-to-bottom. Ok, that’s not really fair, I guess we’re all guilty of scribbling notes down all over the place and the Action Pad provides some structure for easy note taking. With four distinct zones on each page this notepad is perfect for classes, meetings, or brainstorming sessions. If you’re anything like me, you’ll forget everything important unless you make a note of it, then you’ll forget where you put the note; this is where the Action Pad rides in on his stallion to save the day. If you know forgetful people, tell them about the Action Pad; or better yet, write it down for them.
I’m not really sure what this is supposed to be, but I think that’s the point of fine art. If you plop this notepad down on your desk your co-workers will assume you’re cultured or maybe they’ll just drag you out behind the dumpster and beat you like a puppy with down syndrome that keeps pooping on the carpet. If you want to chance it, you may find that the Picasso Morph Notepad by Schleeh Design is the perfect addition to your already cluttered desk. When you twist the pad, the design changes from Picasso’s female image to a male; sort of like Clay Aiken. Of course once you use about half the notes it will no longer resemble anything.
It is not easy to find a brief with both class and utility. The Salvatore Ferragamo Revival Double-Gusset Briefcase easily handles both with its nero stamped calfskin material, double gusseted body, and it’s signature logo embossed lock. For $1400, this is a briefcase that you’ll be able to use that works and still says to everyone in the board room, “Yes, I’m better than you.”
