Stabilo swing click highlighter

The Stabilo swing click is a flat highlighter with ballpoint pen mechanism. With its slim shaft and matt-finished grip, it fits comfortably in the user’s hand and facilitates easy and quick highlighting. Just as with a ballpoint pen, the marker tip can be extended out of the housing and retracted with another push of the button. In this way, the highlighter can be easily stowed away without having to use a cap. With the pocket clip, it can be securely attached to garments and other suitable spots, thus preventing possible loss.

Pen with Paper

Scroll pen combines an easy-flow, ball point tip with a barrel that conceals a handy roll of paper.

Office Clock Gadget

Binary started out as a way for geeks to master the world of computing, but binary is mostly just another way for us to help you confuse your friends and co-workers. Enter the Jumbo LED Binary Clock. Simply slap this stylistic one foot square clock on the wall or on your favorite flat surface, select BCD or pure binary mode, set the time, and voila! You've just created an Instant Confusion Device (ICD) that actually tells the time. Congratulations! For best results do net setup your ICD in your local IT Lab as the chances of confusion will decrease to the point of non-compliance. Now simply wait for the next peon to walk across it's path and stare in dis-belief as the thick sludge of neurons between his ears fails to grasp any approximation of the truth before his eyes.

The horizontal bottom row represents the seconds, the 2nd row from the bottom the minutes, and the third from the bottom the hour. Then the six vertical columns are each assigned a value, from left to right, they are: 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. Just sum up the values across the horizontal columns for hours, minutes and seconds - and voila! Instant mad time genius.

Knicks Cable Holder

Sometimes good things come in small sizes, case in point: this small little clip – made out of metal, with a matte acrylic holding device, that attaches to the edge of your table and extends out by about half an inch. At the end is a small little round opening, that allows you to easily pull a cable through it. When you don't need the cable – i.e. take you laptop with you, or your iPod, or anything that has a plug on a cable (the options are countless) - the plug gets 'stuck' in the opening, which prevents it from falling down. Which means, when you return, you don’t have to get down on your knees and try to fiddle the plug behind your table, it falling down a million times and you getting aggravated.

Conceived by Dutch design house WATdesign, the ZER00:00, the clock is comprised of a simple circuit board, etched with either a butterfly or tree pattern, and powered by a 9-volt battery which also serves as a stand.

Robot Calculator

This calculator does it all. Not only does it look like a cool semi-retro robot, but it can add and subtract and multiply and divide. But unlike ordinary calculators, this one has hands and feet. The feet will let it stand upright and the hands will let it hold things (like pens, cables, or the included LED light).

There are also clips on its "head" to hold notes and a magnet on its back to hold metal things. But the coolest thing you can do with the Robot Calculator is beat up other calculators - see hands are for holding, helping, and hitting! So what if that guy down the hall has a calculator that can do natural log functions; your calculator can punch his in the display so many times, his calculator won't know a cosine from a fraction!

Cubicle Office Gadget

We all have it, what people call the 'personal space' or 'zone' - the area around us that if impeded on makes us uncomfortable. The Eclipse Office Partitioning System was developed to address the issue of privacy and lack there-of in open plan designs seen in workplaces today. Cubicles don’t exactly illicit hard work so Designer Marcus Curran wanted to create something for the not too distant future. A partitioning system that not only looks good but defines and protects our 'personal space'.

The system includes a desk, task chair, expandable hood, integrated speakers, and power all set on casters for true mobility. It makes me think of rollie pollies and I have yet to decide if that’s a good or bad thing. Could you work in something like this?

Shooting Cubicle Alarm System

The trouble with most alarm systems is that they are passive. Passive in the respect that they only alert someone to the intruder, but they don't fight the intruder themselves. Well, consider the Shooting Cubicle Alarm System a step in the right direction. Using technology adapted in Area 51 (by elves, of all people), this three stage system protects everything in your cubicle - and beyond.

Each unit has an ever-watchful motion sensor. The first line of defense is lovingly referred to as Alarm 1. When Alarm 1 is tripped two very important things happen. First, it flashes and klaxons to signal an intrusion. But (and this is the kicker) it also arms Alarms 2 and 3 using invisible wireless signals. Alarm 2 also has an audible alarm, but it is louder than Alarm 1. It also will spot the varmint with a red light beam. Alarm 3 is the coolest; when it is tripped two safe (but surprising) missiles will be launched at the now-fleeing interloper. You valuables will be safe, your cubicle will be secure, and your foe will be embarrassed enough to leave your red Swingline stapler alone for good!

Metal Pen Forever

A stainless steel pen, 8cm long. However when you unscrew the top, the 'nib' is a solid piece of metal. There is no ink, yet this pen will write on virtually any type of paper. This is what it looked like when we tried it on a piece of normal paper...

How does it work?

In the Medieval period, artists and scribes often used a metal stylus in order to draw on a specially prepared paper surface. Generally known as Metalpoint, or Silverpoint when the stylus was made of silver, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer and Rembrandt all used this technique.

This pen is a modern version (and do not use silver). The solid metal 'nib' consists of a metal alloy, that leaves a mark on most types of paper. If you use the sort of paper typically used in printers and photocopiers, the pen leaves a mark that looks as if it was made by a pencil. However the line will not smudge, and cannot be rubbed out. Since there is no ink, there is nothing to dry out, so the pen will work just as well in 25 years time as it does today. And of course it never needs sharpening!

Office Gadget Eats CDs and DVDs

Many of us have turned to the almighty paper shredder as a easy measure to keep prying eyes away from sensitive data. Now you can do the same for the data you have stored on your CDs and DVD-ROM disks as well.

Simply feed your disks into the CD/DVD shredder before disposing of them to ensure that the data on that disk will be unrecoverable. While you won't end up with the confetti you find with a paper shredder, your disk surface will be sufficiently scratched and dimpled enough to prevent recovery of its data. The truly paranoid can run the disk through on repeated passes, though we've found that a single pass will suffice.

Taberu Me: Peanuts as Business Cards

For people looking to liven up the formal rigmarole surrounding the exchange of business cards in Japan, Arigatou Co., Ltd., a company specializing in the sale of laser-etched food products, offers "Taberu Me" edible business cards printed on peanuts.

Taberu Me cards are created using Arigatou's high-grade CO2 laser engraver nicknamed "Shiawase-kun", which can etch up to 700 characters per second on hard organic materials like beans, nuts, rice and pasta and which has been optimized to print clean-looking logos, names and telephone numbers on the irregular surfaces of peanut shells.

As for the product name, Taberu means "eat" and Me could either be an abbreviation of meishi ("business card") or "me" in English, in which case Taberu Me would be saying "Eat me" — a message you probably don’t want to convey to your new business partner at the first meeting. Regardless, a set of 150 Taberu Me cards costs 5,800 yen (around $50), which is mere peanuts considering the lasting impression you will make on your new counterparts.
