USB microwave: one less reason to leave your desk

So you lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle. You sit in your car on the way to work, you sit at your desk all day, and you sit on your couch all night. Why ruin a good thing by standing up and walking somewhere to get lunch?The BrainWave is a USB-controlled microwave that, in theory, would let you scan an RFID-equipped plastic spoon that would come with specially made meals, telling the microwave just how long to cook it for. Hell, you don’t even need to punch the numbers in! Now that’s conserving energy.Via Yanko Design

A look at author Alissa Nutting’s writing desk.

“My desk is both a prison and an escape,” says Alissa Nutting, a Schaeffer Fellow at UNLV and author of the forthcoming story collection Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls (October, Starcherone Books). “For me, writing as a career is kind of like an insane asylum that I checked myself into voluntarily: I can choose to leave any time, but I never will.” To get behind the scenes of her creative process, we got a glimpse of her workspace.

1. “Crime dramas are my ultimate procrastination indulgence. It’s easy to beach myself on the couch in a Snuggie and watch for hours. So I’ve borrowed the good cop/bad cop routine from the show: The bad cop makes sure I get in a minimum number of words, but the good cop gives me the freedom to make them (and my desk) as … crazy as possible.”

2. “I can only write alone, dead sober and in the quiet. To make the process less lonely, I bring in silent animal-statue friends. I’ve experimented with having more human-like dolls on the desk (a ventriloquist dummy’s head, for example), but it was a little creepy, and I kept feeling like I had to ask for their input with the story to be polite.”

3. “As vital as other works of fiction are for inspiration, oftentimes critical texts serve best for getting me out of a writer’s block—it’s a nice gear-shift to thinking about ideas and concepts rather than craft. One of my favorites is M.M. Bakhtin’s The Dialogic Imagination. It talks a lot about the grotesque, the clownish, the carnival; I’m very interested in the things that simultaneously repulse and attract us.”

4. “I like to take traditional concepts or characters and pervert them. Children’s books and toys are often a great inspiration because they have this super-pure facade. I found this very old teddy bear at an antique shop and paid way too much for it, but I had to have it because it looked green and sickly; it’s like a teddy bear who was bitten by a zombie and is in the early stages of transformation. Eventually the face it was making seemed a little sad, a bit “Why haven’t you taken me to the hospital yet?” So I put a lucha libre mask over it.”

The pedestal desk appeared in Britain around the mid 18th century and was traditionally made of mahogany, which had eclipsed walnut at this stage. The style which we know today was made popular through the designs of Thomas Chippendale’s Gentlemen and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, which first appeared in 1754 and the design was copied and adapted by numerous cabinet makers such as Robert Gillow of Lancaster. Unlike most cabinet makers, Gillow used to stamp his work, which makes it readily recognisable.

Although Chippendale only designed furniture, and no examples of pedestal desks from his workshop were actually stamped by him personally, some very grand examples attributed to him remain today. Chippendale collaborated with architect/interior designers such as Robert Adam and as such Chippendale designed furniture became part of the general interiors scheme of large country houses, such as Osterley Park. The pedestal desk itself also transcended stylistic changes and took on much plainer designs, reflecting the changing taste from rococo to neo-classicism. Both George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton both published their own respective furniture guides, like Chippendale, although no antique desks or other pieces of furniture can be positively attributed to either of these designers.

As was common with 19th century Victorian furniture, the desk tended to be heavier in construction and was revived in many of the styles made popular by the three great 18th century cabinet makers mentioned. The desk was also known as the partners desk, the origins being that two men, or partners, could work from the same desk. With the onset of mass production during the Victorian period, good quality office furniture, like the partners desk, was in high demand.

Ink Cartridge LampWhen one thought about recycling projects, one cannot help but think crude, and that aesthetics will have to be thrown out of the window in favor of a conscious bid to keep cartridges out of landfills and save the environment.
