”Keep Fugly Surge Protectors Out of Sight and Mind With Bluelounge CableBox
We've already seen what Bluelounge can do with a minimalist gadget charging station, but today they're tackling a different office obstacle with the CableBox: cords. If you haven't gone mostly wireless yet, this is a convenient way to store them. And on a personal note, this space saver also addresses an illogical fear of sticking an exposed toe into an outlet and electrocution. For $30, you get what amounts to a much prettier, much sturdier, shoe box with holes for your surge protectors. [Bluelounge] More »Bluelounge Sanctuary Charging Station Has All The Wires You Need
We've seen neat and tidy ways to stick all your charging gadgets in one place before, but the new Sanctuary charger takes the biscuit by having all the wires and plugs you may need already built in. Ok, so it's actually got a power source with 11 different types of plug plus a USB socket under its lid, but that means it's apparently compatible with over 1,500 gizmos. Add in the fact that its looks are actually not bad, and you've got a winner. With one drawback: all that adapter-plug goodness means it costs $129.95. So you'll really have to want cable tidiness to buy this. [Bluelounge via Geeky gadgets]

SpaceStation Organizer Looks Futuristically Minimal
We've seen our fair share of organizers over the years—especially since we live next door to those good-naturedly anal folks at Lifehacker—but this SpaceStation seems like it's the most minimal that we've seen yet. The system consists of a long, rubberized pad to lay your electronics on top of and a hollow bottom with USB Hub for you to coil all your USB cables around. The end result is a clean surface on top, but a slightly more organized bottom as well. If you were handy, you could probably build one of these yourself for slightly less than the $79 price tag, but it won't look nearly as nice. [Bedlounge]

Door Organizer Helps Airheads Keep Their Things in One Place
Everyone has one of those friends who just can't for the life of them seem to remember their personal effects. One of my roommates in college was so bad about setting things down without thinking that I actually made him a "memory square," which was a piece of paper with a red box drawn on it for him to leave his keys and his wallet on so he wouldn't end up finding his wallet next to the cereal in the cupboard three days after he started looking for it. I don't think he ever remembered to use it, which is typical. More »
