I’ve been on a quest for a functional and affordable desk over the last few months and I think I found it. It’s no Milk desk, but the StudioDesk appears to suit my needs just fine.

I can’t attest to the quality of the BlueLounge desk, but the features are appealing to a nerd. A hidden compartment holds most of your power doodads so as not to clutter your desktop. A slit running just short of the width of the desk allows for cables to enter and exit and only one cable exits the desk to plug into the wall. A drawer-like slider covered with an optional faux leather mat reveals just how messy you really are. Made from mahogany and laminate press, the StudioDesk is available for pre-order now (ships later this month) at $600 with free shipping. I wonder if Ikea will make a cheaper clone.

We know that this is old, but it’s still totally awesome. Christmas is coming up soon and this would make a perfect gift for any office clerk who wants to impress his colleagues. This globe is dubbed as Stellanova and it is a levitating magnetic globe. Once you position the globe within the two poles, the globe remains in that position, you can even run your fingers or hand through it and it would still be in that position. The magnetic field is generated by electricity of course. The globe itself is 6inches in diameter> The map is detailed to the place-names specific and up to cities. The base is 10.5inches tall and 4inches wide. It comes with a 120 volt AC power adapter. You can purchase this for under $75.
