T3ch H3lp says - Clean up your desk!
Its the weekend, and me - @itsbrandond - have taken some time to reorganize my desk (picture left) and tidy up. My desk was a big ugly mess before I did this, and it sounds really dumb, but do it - clean up your desk!
So, tonight, take 20 mins and clean up your desk at home, and it’ll feel so much better, trust me. Ricardo (our executive editor) is a minimalist advocate, and he knows his stuff when it comes to simplifying the things you do. So do this for us, and for your sanity - Read Ricardo’s blog

The Minimalism Apartment with 24 Rooms
The Minimalism Apartment with 24 Rooms
China has a big problem with space, especially since they have over a 1 billion people. So when it comes to finding living quarters in cities, well, let’s just say that regardless of where you decide to live it’s going to be quite small.
But that’s no problem for Chinese architect, Gary Chang, who designed his 344 sq. ft. apartment into a house with 24 rooms and everything you could possibly think of. The way he did it was genius and would make even the Transformers on Cybertron jealous.
Mr. Chang truly knows what it means to be a minimalist, but by using sliding walls and hidden rooms he still can have everything a maximalist desires.

How to: Spring Clean your Cluttered Windows Desktop
Does the image look familiar? If it does then it may be time to spring clean that desktop of yours. But don't fret, it's not that hard to do some sprucing up, especially if you follow the simple tips laid out in this article.
To begin start by looking at what's lurking within all that mess. What do you have? I'm going to guess application icons, images you've found on the internet that you wanted to save for one reason or another, and installation files that should've been deleted as soon as you were done with them. How did I do? Was I close? If I was then congratulations, you're the average PC user.

Power your iPod/iPhone with the WallDock
The one thing I hate about Apple music products is that there isn't a standard for how to charge your device; Some come with varying sized docks, a few come with an AC plug, and the rest come packaged only with a 30 pin connector usb cable. That's hardly what I'd call productive, especially when plugging these guys into your usb ports to start charging.
Well, I recently dug up a simple device, called the Walldock, that is compatible with nearly every single iPod and iPhone. And it's not only small and convenient, but it also charges your devices faster than on a 30 pin connector plugged into your computer. Plug the unit into an AC outlet of your choice, adjust the pivoting dock and rest your iPod against the wall for a quick charge.
For $24.99 it's not that bad of a deal. Check back for a possible review of this minimalist's dream.
