A New Desk

designmarx preview A New Desk

Bill is dying for me to buy him a desk like this. These are hard to come by too. He is a project manager, and it is hard when he brings drawings home. The drawings are huge and my kitchen table does not do well as a drafting table. Bill has been asking for two years to get one of these for the basement. I found this on the Formaspace site, and they have a lot of different Workbenches for all the different industries you would need them for. If you are in the market for a desk, I would check them out.

Business Card Reader

Every so often I come across a product that Bill could really use at work. Since it is a smaller company, sometimes they actually take our suggestions. The product I saw today was for a business card reader. As a project manager, he has hundreds of business cards that he keeps in a file. He has business cards from general contractors to suppliers to customers (and about a hundred other people that I am missing). Finding the card he needs when he wants it can be somewhat cumbersome. He doesn’t have a secretary, so currently, if he wants the information in the computer, he has to type it himself. However, this scanning software solves that problem for him. The scanner scans the card in less than 5 seconds and then creates a record in Microsoft Outlook. It can get both the data and any images on the card. Instead of having to carry a huge binder with cards in it, he can just bring his laptop (which he usually has on him anyway). It looks way more professional in my opinion. The cost for this product is $179 which is way cheaper than his company hiring a secretary to do this for him. I plan on showing this to him later to see what he thinks. In my eyes, it is a definite time saver.

Cell Phones

Ok, Sprint bought Nextel. You would think this would be one company. It is not. They are running it as two separate companies. Why do I think this? Bill is a project manager and currently is working at a hospital. He recently got a new phone. His other phone was a Nextel phone. This is a Sprint phone that can be used on the Nextel network. He gets different cell reception now. Before, his phone never worked in the hospital. Now, it isn’t a problem. I can’t figure out why they are doing this. I am guessing it would cost too much.
