Unfortunately its also tax season, and time to clean out that mountain of forms, papers and receipts you have been hoarding all winter long!

With most office jobs these days you tend to sit for many hours on end, which is not great for your body. Sit-stand desks are becoming very popular, and many of them are becoming affordable for the home and office. I recently got the chance to review the Winston Sit-Stand Workstation, which comes in a

Hey everyone, welcome to my desk this time! My room – er, I mean, office – has way more gadgets in it than these couple of photos show. I figure I’d stick to my main space to keep it short and sweet.

When asked to participate in this series I was reluctant, actually I am reluctant, mainly because my writing area has been declared a mess by certain individuals in my household. But then again, I subscribe to the old saying that “if a cluttered desk is evidence of a cluttered mind, what does an empty desk

Recently, Julie asked for us to show our desks and what’s on them. With mine, there is not much to tell. I’m an art director by day and freelancer by night, so my desk is usually strewn with all kinds of junk. Add to that my passion for all things audio, and I keep pretty

I already told you about my spiffy elfa design-it-yourself desk. (Check the related links at the end of this post to find the original post about my desk.) Since I built that desk, I’ve moved to a new house, and my desk easily disassembled and reassembled at the new place. It looks like it was

Hi, my name is Mark Rosengarten and I have a problem. It’s a gadget problem. It’s an addiction and has been as long as I’ve been aware that there was such a thing as a gadget. In fact, I have been an avid follower of The Gadgeteer since it got started, it has always been

So, Julie started this “Show us your desk series” and I thought I would add mine to the list. As you will see I don’t have the same amount of cool bric-a-brac that Julie posses, but then again she has been at this longer than I have 🙂 . What you do get to see

I have been a writer here at the Gadgeteer for over a decade. Hard to believe it has been that many years. It all started with a tech question in an email to Julie that led to her eventually asking me to join the team. I believe there were only four of us back in
