  • Classy Quickie :: Brian Greene’s Desktop

    I’m a huge fan of both people’s desktops and of Brian Greene, both as a thought leader and as a physicist, and I’m always impressed to see how other people get their jobs done, how they work, what environments inspire them, and what surroundings they think their great thoughts in and dream their big dreams […]

    Spring has sprung, we all lost an hour to the laughing ghost of Benjamin Franklin, and temperatures are starting to rise in most of the northern hemisphere (and especially here at my home in the Ray Ban outlet United States) which means one thing: spring is coming, and there’s nothing any of us can do […]

  • Five Gadgets to Keep Your Workspace Organized

    One of the biggest complaints I see when people post photos of their workspaces – usually tidied up a bit for the photo – is that some of the best ones, the most well put together and the most efficient looking ones, can’t possibly be a place where actual work gets done because they’re too […]
