Geek Culture: Pimp My Cubical

 

A few weeks ago, I showed you how you can decorate your home, the Geek Way. This time around, let's take a look at turning your drab little cubical into a Workstation of Awesome.

No really, read it.

Before you get to decorating your area, you should make sure you have yourself a coffee mug that will make all other coffee mugs jealous. It's not just a vessel to hold that ever precious elixir of life that is coffee, it can also be yet another method to convey your disdain for the lesser mortals. Do you constantly get asked to fix other people's computers or get asked stupid questions that would only take a few minutes of looking at the manual to sort out? Tell 'em how you really feel with your mug. Or go for the badassedness of the brass knuckle-handled mug. No one will fuck with you with one of those in your hand.

Nest, choose your theme, or themes. Do you go sci-fi? How about Star Wars or Star Trek? Retro video games? How about comic books? Why not grab a pile of action figures and display them at your desk? I currently have most of the Justice League of America figures sitting above my triple monitor setup. Yeah, that's right. Three monitors. Is it completely ridiculous? Absolutely, but I have three freaking monitors! Alternatively, you could always build a train set, or rollercoaster circling the perimeter of your cubical, or build some epic battle scene with Lego.

Pardon me, but do you have
any Grey Poupon?

You could always add a USB Rocket Launcher and a pile of sandbags to keep those bastards away from your TPS Reports, or just as part of your office warfare armory. Many have even gone so far as to turn their cube into an English study, adding a touch of (cl)ass to their workplace.

A few great places to get some crazy cubical gear is of course ThinkGeek or KlearGear or even your local Home Depot and Toys R' Us.

So get those gears rolling and pimp out your cube. Feel free to send me pics to thehouseofgeek@gmail.com and maybe I'll do a showcase of your cubes! Oh, and don't forget your red Swingline.
