Giant yellow sticky notes by Arash and Kelly


Giant Sticky Notes

Perfect for offices that have a problems with wallspace, these giant monster sticky notes are almost as large as one’s head, meaning, you’ll always be able to cover up your coworkers notes, getting you one-step closer to that promotion you’ve been dreaming of. Called the Genius Pad, these giant sticky note pads measure 30cm x 30cm and come in Classic Yellow (just like the ‘real’ sticky notes). Unfortunately the 100 and 150 sheets package are sold out, but, there are plenty of 300 sheet packs left!

Scan, copy and fax (for free) with your digital camera or cellphone


scanR

I can’t count how many times I’ve been in the office and needed to keep whiteboard sketches from a meeting, only to have them erased by someone who didn’t pay attention to my “DO NOT FRICKIN’ ERASE” note. Those days are over, thanks to the genius web application scanR. With scanR, you simply take photos of business cards, whiteboards or documents using your mobile phone (have to have 1 mega-pixel+ camera though) or digital camera, then email or MMS them to scanR. In return you’ll recieve an activation code in order to create your account and set where you’d like to receive your scans. You then get the business card, whiteboard or document you scanned in your email (or you can set someone else’s email, say, a business partner) in PDF format, ready to print out and save.

Light applications for portable media


Portable Apps

Business travelers and consultants have been fans of portable apps for ages, rightfully so. Portable applications are computer programs that are small enough to fit on portable devices (USB thumb drives for example) and able to be launched from almost any (Windows in this case) computer without leaving your personal data behind. Carry your email, web broswer, calender and address book in the palm of your hand and never worry about having to use someone else’s computer to work with your data. Portableapps.com offers many portable versions of today’s hottest software, from Firefox portable to GIMP portable, allowing you to slim down your computing life and never worry about your private data being left behind anywhere (just don’t forget your USB stick in that internet cafe).

Printable list of Google Mail shortcuts


Google Mail

Dare I say that Gmail is close to being the perfect webmail service? Sure there are ads specifically targeting the contents of my email that freaks me out a little sometimes, but I can look past that in exchange for the great services that Gmail (and Google) provide me. I and many others have begun transferring all of our email to Gmail, so the more I use it, the more I begin looking for shortcuts and hotkeys, which I was sure existed. Thanks to our pals over at LifeHack, we’ve found them, and in a handy printable form to boot! In order to use these shortcuts, you must have keyboard shortcuts set to “On” in the Gmail settings and then get used to the new shortcuts (it’s funny to forget you had them enabled and then accidently open or send an email by accidentally hitting a key on your board).
