Do you need a home office makeover? I love this promotion from CSNOffice.com, a furniture retailer. The company is working with interior designer Taniya Nayak to find the Worst Workspace. And your home office could be it! The company states ” Together, they’re looking to rescue woeful workspaces across the country, from homely home offices to cluttered, crummy cubicles to [...]

I saw this ad in a magazine the other day and wondered if anyone has used it? It’s Duracell’s myGrid Charge Pad. The site says “With drop-and-go charging for up to four devices at once, myGrid takes the hassle—and the cords—out of charging your mobile devices. Just put a Power Sleeve™ or Power Clip on [...]

I can barely stand it today. The absolute, at times, maddening, loneliness of working from home, by myself, day-after-every-other day.
