Calendar Tape Marks Your Organizational Crime Scenes

I kind of like the idea of adding a monthly calendar to just about anything with this Calendar Roll tape. $10 gets you one roll each for weekdays and full months. [ThinkGeek via BBG]

SpaceStation Organizer Looks Futuristically Minimal

Jason Chen — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:00:00 EST

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]

IntelliScanner Mini: Scan Your Life, One Barcode at a Time

Charlie White — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 11:05:13 EST

The Intelliscanner has been miniaturized, and now it's called the Intelliscanner Mini, a palm-sized barcode reader to keep you organized. It's quite a bit smaller than the last time we saw it, and now it's been voted Best of Show at MacWorld 2007. Using its included software, you can automatically organize just about anything that's been tagged with a barcode.

The $299 device clips onto a keychain, and opens up the world of barcodes to you. Scan your DVDs, groceries, wine, comics and a lot of other stuff, and the Intelliscanner stores all those codes in its flash memory. Then plug the Intelliscanner into a USB port on your Mac or PC, and download all that information into a searchable and sortable database using the variety of included software. Careful: could lead to compulsive scanning. – Charlie White

Organize It Your Way: Blu Dot Catch-All Tray

You can arrange your refrigerator shelves the way you want, but you never could custom-size the compartments in your desk drawer exactly how you need them, until now.

The Blu Dot 2d:3d Catch-All Tray is available in blue, red, gunmetal or white, and you arrange its compartments with a few quick folds of its perforated metal. Now here's some origami that's truly useful. Being able to find stuff quickly might be worth its $25 price. – Charlie White

Some people out there just love pets. For those old ladies with 13 cats or the people with 4 dogs, life gets hectic, but that doesn't mean you can neglect Matilda the Cat. No worries, The Petmaster is here to save the day. Organize vet appointments and feeding times by animal type, schedule alarms to notify you of important times, keep important numbers like the vet and salon handy, and much more. The Pet Master can also find pet-friendly motels when traveling and get phone numbers and locations of clinics. Perhaps the cutest feature is that you can put a picture of your pet into a little picture frame on the inside casing of the Petmaster. So if you love Chuckles so much, you'll run out to Neiman Marcus right now and scoop one up for $30.
