Could it be that difficult to provide choices for one's preference to allow respective offices/cubes or the open office spaces?

I use a program called Personal Brain, available at: www.thebrain.com I prefer to pay for the upper-end version due to its better functionality, but the company has a free version as well. They also sell an enterprise version that is useable for multi-users. I don't have experience with this version, but I presume the function /s is/are similar.

I've had space constraints for some time. I found that nearly all the under-shelving, bookcase-sides, and under-desk flat spaces were virtually clutter-free. So I went to local bigbox store and got a 6' x 3" strip of adhesive backed velcro [walmart in the arts & crafts section]. I put about 2" - 4" velcro strips [larger pieces on heavier items] on things like power strips, batt backups, USB multi-port, router, cable modem, surge protectors, and external backup-in-a-box, etc, etc, etc and stuck them under desk surfaces, under book shelves and on bookcase sides. The cables are still everywhere connecting the various now mounted-out-of-the-way gizmos, but they will soon join the velcro'd gang's relative locations.

If flat "Jo-blocks" (super flat gage blocks of metal that have been super-finished to laboratory grade tolerances, eg., +/- 1 microinch or so, their contact area is about 3/8" x 1", with thicknesses determined during manufacture) are wrung together, they will be difficult to seperate. A stack of them is assembled from a combination of sizes (in this case, the thicknesses) to yield a very specific stack-height. A stack of them can be held suspended by any of the blocks in the stack without the stacked blocks falling apart if they are wrung together correctly. I always thought this was due to the air literally being squeezed out of the contacting surfaces and the air pressure forcing (read: keeping) the blocks in 'contact'. Is this Casimir Effect related?
