As you may know, I hate having clutter on my desk. That was the point of the Monitor/TV Shelf I wrote about in an earlier post. But boxy stuff isn’t the only thing that I want off my desk. I want paper off it too.
Now, while I’ll in the infant stages of going paperless (more on this soon), I still have papers sitting around in piles on my desk waiting for me to do something with them. Bills, post-it notes, receipts, dentist appointment reminders, etc. I have a little desktop organizer thing that let’s me at least pile stuff in there, but again…that’s sitting on my desk and is still pretty much an unorganized pile of stuff. Stuff that I’ll probably forget about.
Go into any restaurant with a short-order cook, and you’ll probably see a metal wheel on which the wait staff place orders. When the cook is ready, it spins the wheel around to the next order, removes the order ticket, whips up a nice plate of hash and eggs, and spins the wheel again. It seems pretty efficient, and it keeps the order tickets off the counter.
That might be useful on a desk. But it would be a little weird to hang one of those from your ceiling. But what if you could integrate a somewhat smaller version on a desk lamp? Do it up nicely in brushed aluminum and a thick, heavy slab base and it might actually be nice to look at.
