Office Cubicle for the Road Saves Precious Commuting Time

You’re looking at the Slow Car concept from Jurgen Bey, one of the Netherlands’ most respected high-end home furniture designers. He’s taken the humble office cubicle, and slapped it on a 25mph scooter. Talk about being chained to your desk.

He imagines environments like campuses and airports offering the vehicle, because it lets folks stay productive at a desk, in privacy, without walking. He says by limiting the speed, users should feel a sense of calm at being able to max out the throttle, something we don’t always get to do in cars.

Personally, being boxed makes me feel pretty far from calm. Fail. Check out the vid and decide for yourself.

DJ Mouse to Make You the Life of Your Office Cubicle

While others around you click away with Corporate’s stock mouse, you can mix it up with DJ Tech’s DJ Mouse.

The aluminum “feel” body is loaded with both jog and scroll wheels, meaning you can just as easily scroll through a spreadsheet as complete that Miley Cyrus/Styx mash-up sure to land you on the fast track to the Big Promotion. And yes, that big SCRATCH button actually allows you to scratch MP3s in real time (using bundled software).

The DJ Mouse is available now for $79. Of course, those of us who make sound effects with our mouths really frown upon this sort of thing.
