I've got a pretty shallow desk, just small enough to squeeze into a closet. And even though I've wall mounted my computer monitor and have all my daily office essentials tucked away as clutter-free as possible, I'm always on the hunt for solutions to further optimize space efficiency. This new Quirky sponsored design, the Stashboard, definitely appeals to my small space sensibilities, taking advantage of the space just underneath iMac and Thunderbolt Display users screens...

Heaven knows as the Tech Editor I see more iPhone cases than anyone should be exposed to throughout the year. Cases have become so common, it's all too easy to get jaded about these popular accessories. So count me happily surprised after doing a double-take upon laying my eyes upon these DIY iPhone cases using real flowers...how appropriate with the arrival of spring time!

A laptop sleeve is not only protective insurance against scratches and dings, it's also an opportunity to showcase a little fashionable personality, especially when you design and construct the accessory yourself like this rivet-ing little number from Oh Happy Day...

Not that there was ever many color choices for Apple laptop owners to choose from, at least not since the multi-color toilet seat shaped iBooks. But now your only option is aluminum...and more aluminum. So where does a color lover who wants to break away from the staid shell of a metallic finish turn to? A hardshell case, of course!

Maybe you'll be visiting the parents during spring break and need to get onto their wireless network. Or it could be your grandparents need a little tech support with their internet connection from afar. In either case, you'll need their wi-fi network password. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, the axiom of "out of sight, out of mind" applies all too well with network passwords. So here's a simple tip to give them a cheat sheet...

I highly recommend Grant Thompson's Random Weekend Projects series over at YouTube for some inspired how-to projects. Where else can you learn how to "light a fire with your pee" and "how to make a battery using pennies"? His latest project is a bit more down to earth, outlining how to take that tablet screen video and blow it up to a 50" screen using just $5 in parts...

Do you think you're a good typist? Das Keyboard thinks that if you trained yourself to type without looking at the keyboard you'd become much more proficient. That's precisely why one of their models is all blank keys, so you can train yourself out of the habit of looking. I sat down with one and went through a little typing test at SXSW Interactive to see if they're onto something.
