How Many Computer Monitors Do You Use?
I'm a busy gal, and most of the time find myself working wherever I can — on the couch, on the train, anywhere I can find a WiFi signal. But when I'm at the office, I like to not only use my laptop monitor, but hook it up to my cinema display and double my desktop real estate. When I'm at home?
Website of the Day: KeepMeOut
This happens to the best of us. You get sidetracked from work and next thing you know Facebook and Twitter has sucked you in for over an hour and your boss is wondering if your Power Point presentation is ready — yikes! Well thanks to this site I saw on Lifehacker, you can get warnings to prevent you from wasting your day away on social networking sites.
Has Technology Made You More Productive?
With websites like Remember The Milk and devices like the BlackBerry, it's almost hard not to stay organized. Technology provides us with a bajillion useful applications and tools to help keep us on track (gotta love Google apps), but do these modern day inventions waste our time?
Many people have become social networking site addicts, online gamers, and YouTube junkies.

Lego USB Hub: Love It or Leave It?
We've seen Lego coffee tables, a Lego kitchen, and even a Lego house. Here's my latest Lego-themed find: Lego USB Hubs ($20).
Available in four bright colors (yellow, red, black, and blue) the hubs are four inches long and have ports for up to four USB cables or devices.
Ikea's Affordable Cable Storing and Gadget Charging Solutions
In a world of expensive charging stations, it's a relief that a geek on a budget can head to Ikea to pick up a simple $3 charging dock that will do the job it was meant to preform: hold your gadgets while they're juicing up. Additionally, for all you cable-hiding freaks out there (yours truly, included) Ikea also offers simple and cheap solutions for any cable management nightmare. All of these products are $10 or less, so I know you can scrounge up the scrilla to get organized.
Enchanted Woods iPod Dock: Love It or Leave It?
I've posted about wooden gadgets and accessories before, but this product is a little more rustic than most. The Enchanted Woods iPod Dock ($98) is made from authentic hickory and branches and is a docking station only — no speakers.
It's sold at Anthropologie, a store better known for its pretty dresses than gadgets.
A Mouse Pad and Weekly To-Do List in One
I've admitted that sometimes I prefer low tech to high tech and prefer to keep written lists instead of digital ones so this product is right up my alley.
The Taking Care of Business mouse pad ($12) is a weekly calendar (the first page starts in January 2010) with space to write your to-do list in sections labeled "high priority" to "errands" and check boxes to keep track of progress. Each Monday, you get to start a fresh week with a new sheet!
Geek Out: Do You Trust Online Reviews?
When buying something online, I almost always gravitate toward websites that provide me with customer reviews, like Amazon, Zappos, Overstock, etc.
It makes me feel just a little bit more secure that I'll like my purchase. But that doesn't mean I don't take each review with a grain of salt, especially since too many reviews can be overwhelming, and now I have another reason to be wary; the gadget accessories giant Belkin has been accused of paying for positive reviews of its products on Amazon.
Lego MP3 Player: Love It or Leave It?
Is it just me, or are Lego-themed products popping up everywhere? I just spotted another: this colorful Lego MP3 player ($40) on ThinkGeek.
It has all the functionalities of an iPod, holds 2GB of music (about 500 songs), and features a digital display and USB connection.
