Office Supply Fair
Brad Blackman | Apr 6 2006
In a little while everyone in my office (all 5 of us) are going to go to an office supply fair put on my a distributor in Nashville. I don't know if we get anything free or not, but I'm hoping so. I'm always on the lookout for free paper pads and pens and things like that. Can you guys think of any nifty stuff/productivity pr0n to be on the lookout for? 4 Comments

I saw a ton of really cool stuff from 3M. did you know they make giant post-its now? They're about 5 x 8 inches. (I guess it helped that the 3M rep was a guy I sort of knew in college.) I also saw an interesting storage box made of cardboard. The idea is it's lighter and cheaper than steel, but still tough and durable, and can stand even my weight on top of it. The drawback is it burns. Steel has to get really hot to burn, but the contents inside will heat up long before the outside does. (It seems like an oven to me.) The cardboard box looked cool and industrial and all, though. Other than that, I didn't see much I was really all that interested in, except for some nice chairs and a nifty indoor billboard duratrans-type thing that I told my coworker (another designer) that it looked like the kind of thing we would do. » POSTED IN:
