- jaybol, on 02/15/2008, -4/+12thanks to you i am now embarking on organizing my office
- Dokument, on 02/15/2008, -0/+43apparently the first step is to buy all apple products...
- itsgotyou, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2its an advertisement dressed up as a pseudo "how to" article. most companies are doing it now; very effective in social sites. and it's waaay cheaper than conventional styles of adverts.

- Bukowsky, on 02/15/2008, -2/+6oh, how I yearn for a clutter-free desk!
- BrendanSheehan, on 02/15/2008, -0/+0Why don't you clean it then? It's easier than you think.
- azeected, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1damn, now i need a new office...
- alexolah, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1:)) made u dream with your eyes opened, huh?
- masterofthebus, on 02/18/2008, -0/+1me2
- rtcrooks, on 02/15/2008, -3/+17Any tips for transforming my bathtub into a copy machine?
- eplanit, on 02/15/2008, -1/+29how in the hell can anyone really doing business have such a clean desk?
- cyberdork, on 02/15/2008, -2/+14I'm sorry, but most of their 'cool office' examples look like ergonomic nightmares.
- LANjackal, on 02/15/2008, -10/+1Some of my employer's internal websites don't support Opera, which I use on my work PC since they block Firefox. I guess I should file a lawsuit for discrimination *sarcasm*. Buried.
- LANjackal, on 02/15/2008, -12/+5Whoops, commented on the wrong story there.
RE: Budget Office. If your office is filled with Macbook Pros and iMacs, you are clearly NOT on a budget. This article is a joke. - junosama, on 02/15/2008, -3/+10This article is geared towards designers and the budget tips are more secondary ;)
- bxblox, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1The only thing targeted to designers seemed to be the abundance of mac.
- muniak, on 02/15/2008, -2/+13***Not a mac advertisement.
- siwasher, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6Thank you, Captain Obvious.
- ryryindo, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2thank you for actually saying that, this article was retarded.
"if you get a lamp, you can work when it's dark out, derrrrr" - zeejay, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4I like this tip:
"7. Get some sticky notes and use them as important reminders."
Oh, that's what they're for? Wow.... all these years I've been using them to blow my nose....
- ryryindo, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2thank you for actually saying that, this article was retarded.
- joclark, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4We got a great tip and bought white Shower Board from Home Depot and made a huge whiteboard wall for only $40.00. The shower board works like a charm.
There's a cool site: http://www.decorbymail.com where you can get professional design help and then "shop it yourself". Great way to do it right and save money.- MrMongoose, on 02/15/2008, -2/+0I found the white shower board (melamine) marked fine, but took way too much effort to get clean. Should have just bought a used whiteboard from craigslist like I was going to do.
- freesf, on 02/15/2008, -7/+2Another stupid Apple Steve lover fanboy article in Digg... When this is going to end?
- sagat, on 02/15/2008, -3/+2I keep trying to tell them that they are working for a large greedy corporation and not getting paid for it but they don't seem to understand.
- SuperSunny, on 02/15/2008, -2/+1Uh, no.
- AlanLivingston, on 02/15/2008, -0/+23Typical decorator article. Lots of "Cool" pics and devoid of any hard content.
I can summarize:
1. Research
2. Measure
3. Paint
4. Furnish
5. Add plants
6. Clean
7. Organize
8. Develop better habits (WTF a three sentence explanation for developing better habits?)
Other than these headlines, there's absolutely no content. I could do better with an Ikea catalog.- bxblox, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2How did you summarize without the obvious step 9: Buy one of every apple product.
- itsgotyou, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8i just redesigned my office. with my new colostomy bag, i never have to leave my desk. 24/7 productivity
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/observer/archives/Spam ...- inspecality, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2Sweet. No more yelling "Mom! Toilet!"
- msmearcheck, on 02/15/2008, -2/+2Here is a tip for your budget - Ubuntu
- Dokument, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3torrents
- condormcs, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Pokemon?
- inspecality, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1cheezburgers
- mdavis, on 02/15/2008, -0/+5I thought this was going to be an informative article regarding getting nice things for the office at good prices, but instead it was "clean up, don't eat at the desk and go to garage sales."
- 2ndrookie, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Who else has a BioMorph Desk?
Best. Desk. Ever. - matthewdestroys, on 02/15/2008, -3/+1where are all the apple fanboy putdowns?
- Emachine, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1My dream office wouldn't have any fruity logos in it...
- ZPWeeks, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Anyone know what the laptop stand used in the first picture is called? I've seen it before, but only on people's desks. I wanna buy one, but need to know where to start :-P
- bxblox, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1check the apple store online, it should be in there
- ltjon, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Griffin makes them - The old version is called the iCurve, the new one Elevator
- lerker, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1A quick glance at the pictures was enough to convince me this article is rubbish. Working in a dim room with the light source behind your monitor, or off to the side? Way to maximise eye-strain. No thanks. And the author writes about de-cluttering and then includes that pinked-out Hello Kitty office from hell. Buried.
- mmmine, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2Why would anyone Digg this? It doesn't say anything! Is it just Mac envy?
- kolop1, on 02/15/2008, -1/+1 If I were on a budget I would not buy expensive Macs.
- bxblox, on 02/15/2008, -0/+5Budget?? I saw dual screen apple 30" displays in there, not to mention the macs they were plugged into... for that price you could cover the walls in marble. No one on a budget has 3 new apple computers.
- jeshjohn, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1My dream office is the oval office.
- deiphobus, on 02/15/2008, -2/+2I immediately stopped reading once I realized this is just another filthy Mac propaganda. So this is a dream office on a budget, eh?
- shauncorleone, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Buried for inaccurate title and lack of anything useful. Seriously, budget "tips" that simply advise hitting up yard sales/flea markets and looking on 'Craiglist'? You can't throw up a blog post with BS like "Don't eat in your office if else you haz crumbz in you keyboard!" with a link to IKEA and call it informative.
- k00k, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2So to be just a bit more organized today, I filed this article under "No *****"
- dildoolielly, on 02/15/2008, -0/+12 crates
1 piece of plywood
1 sub $500 laptop
1 internet connection
1 great idea
=$
now go by a real workstation - apoc2050, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Hey hey, look at those office shots. No desk space ftw!
/sarcasm - wuzupfoo11, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1lol dream office
/oxymoron - rundster, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0Here is a nice desk with lots of space that you can build yourself on a budget. You can hide peripherals away in drawers. go to www.vanalder.com
- artistsvalley, on 03/04/2008, -0/+0Thanks!!! great tips on working with tight budget.
