office swag

This is the brainchild of botanic artist Makoto Azuma and furniture designer Herman Miller. My question is, when will they make a version for a La-Z-Boy or other oversized recliner? More people watch sports in those chairs than in office chairs, anyway.

Not only is it steampunk, it's early '90s. Currently on display at The Mac Store in Eugene, Oregon, this mod is a combination 1991 Mac and 114-year-old Remington typewriter. Its features are a mix of 90s and 19th-century, too: the mouse is made from a Morse telegraph key, while the modem is 56k and the operating system is Mac OS 7.5, complete with a word processor, calculator, spreadsheet program, flight simulator, and Tetris.

It's a desk that's attached to an elliptical machine. The machine is "designed to be pedaled at slower cadences that won't break one's concentration (or cause one to break a sweat." I don't know why anyone would need these, I just run in place while I'm seated at my desk. Burns more calories, and the impact of the foot hitting the floor builds more muscle.

And if you order teriyaki from across the street everyday (like a certain office lackey blogger) then... Well... I guess your pens already double as chopsticks?

Sure you lose volume to the octopus, but on the upside there'll be a freakin' octopus in your coffee.

No more scalding my tongue because of a desperate need for caffeine in the morning. Now my mug tells me if my coffee is at an acceptable temperature. Man, what will they think of next? --NGN

Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a refreshing cup of...beer?
