The idea behind hot desking is that each employee is not assigned a particular desk, but rather given a variety of places to work within an office that might include desks, casual seating areas, conference spaces, or a cafe.  Many times, there are actually less desks than employees.

So I work for a university from my home office.That is to say I have a desk but most of the time I’m not at working from my desk, I’m either working in the living room or on the dining room table.

My office is paperless so I don’t have to drag around a printer or a bunch files with me, so I can literally work anywhere. All I need is my Macbook, WiFi and some good green tea.

I was in Lake Worth Texas last week on a business trip and the Holiday Inn Express I was staying at actually had decent WiFi!

I was actually able to watch Netflix’s on my iPad without it stuttering.

It should be a crime that a hotel can charge you 15 bucks a day for a dial up connection claiming it’s “high speed internet”.

The perfect drink?

Apple Water is indeed an Apple-lover’s dream — pure, clean H2O, captured in Apple-designed containers from the central irrigation spigot at Apple’s corporate headquarters.

AAPL stock soared on the announcement today. Analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray raised his target price to $500, noting the low cost of materials and customers “endless thirst and inscrutable need” for all things Apple. “Apple Water,” says Munster, “is somewhere between tap water and holy water.”

A 16-ounce container of Apple Water retails for $9.99. Apple Water Pro, a five-gallon jug, is only $49.99.

A distraction free Twitter app? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

So Wren lets you tweet without having to see other folks timeline.

This is what the well dressed tech hipster is wearing this winter.

Winter is finally in full effect here in Toronto, with a couple of very cold days in the past week that gave me the perfect opportunity to test a pair ofMujjo touchscreen gloves. These gloves are woven throughout with silver-coated conductive fibers to allow them to work with capacitive screens, like the ones on your iPhone and iPad, and their unique design makes them better suited than most for the task.

I’m pretty impressed with Google Currents; it’s a solid 1.0 release. It focuses on being a visually-pleasing way to read the content you’re specifically interested in from the web, rather than taking Flipboard’s approach of letting others (at least in part) determine what content you see.

The aesthetic is quiet and calm, and it does just enough with trending topics to ensure you always have something to read without feeling that your own selected content is being intruded upon.

WOW-Keys is about 100 bucks…

Not only does this dock and charge your iPhone, but it enables you to use your iPhone in conjunction with the keyboard and the touch service of your iPhone with the keyboard.

With the flip of a button, however, you can switch WOW-Keys over to PC mode (although it also works with Macs). Now, the phone serves the keyboard. Its touchscreen display allows it to work as a multi-touch input device for the computer – among other things, it can function as a touchscreen track pad or numeric keypad.

You no you want to…

Writing with the Cosmonaut is satisfyingly firm and perfectly controlled, and it glides over the screen perfectly. I can’t really describe the gliding feel any better: it’s just perfect. When you use it for the first time, you’ll notice this immediately. (100% of the people in my household did.)

Dear Path and Stamped —

There is no denying that you two are beautiful apps.

Stamped, your gentle color scheme with bold highlights is easy on the eyes, but highlights just the right things. You’ve got just the right feel about you.

Path, you are — without a doubt in my mind — the best-looking, funnest iOS app I’ve ever used. Seriously, every app developer should download you and user your UI and UX conventions in their own apps.
