Gadget ‘gas station’
Anthro, an office furniture company, has a product for sale that appeals to my techie sensibilities. The eNook is a “gas station for your gadgets that has channels for you to plug in and charge all your gear.”
Not only does this look like a fantastic docking station, but could easily be used as a fold-away desk. In its compact state, it sticks out only 7″ from the wall. In my mind, this would be perfect in a studio apartment for a traveling consultant or in a busy family’s kitchen.

I like the concept. But I think I’ll wait for the folks at Ikea Hacker to make it affordable.
This is a step in the right direction: http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com.....super.html

Yea but that thing-ama-jigger on that Ikea Hacker is awful ugly and cluttery.

Oooh, if I could figure out how to get that built in Pakistan, I would be SO happy. No more worrying about my toddler grabbing my work…

I’m seriously thinking of creating something off of this design. Seriously smart!

When I lived in a very tiny apartment in Chicago many years ago, my grandfather made something similar to this for me to use in my galley kitchen. It folded up when I didn’t need it and folded down when I did. Great contraption, no matter the use.

Yeah.
At $400.00, I think I’ll just keep charging my iTouch and cell phone from the PC at work where the electricity is deliciously free.

http://www.Here's a nice metal one for $129. It didn’t list size but it looks like it could hold a laptop.

[...] Anthro’s eNook – I’ll pardon them for using eSomething on the name because it’s a great idea. I’m lucky enough to have eNough countertop space in the kitchen to host my laptop, but this is a great space-saving solution. [via] [...]
