Can you show me a mock-up to help us choose a designer/developer? No.

I fell for this once when I was young and naive. I made no money and wasted lots of time. Don’t do unpaid work for the chance to be paid.

This wouldn’t fly in any other industry, so why web design? The best case scenario (though rare) is that you get a job with a client who knows that you’ll work for free when necessary. The worst case scenario is that they don’t pay you, and still use your stuff, knowing you don’t have the legal resources to do anything about it. Most likely though, you’ll just waste time.

Buzz: FormaSpace – create your own workdesk or bench!

It’s not often that you find a website that allows you to create your own furniture, but Lab Furniture from FormaSpace does just that!

FormaSpace designs and manufactures their own “technical furniture, accessories, and services.” So while the solutions aren’t appropriate for the living room, or perhaps even your house, you might find a great use for them in your study, office or workroom!

In fact, I had great fun turning one of their plain desks into a multi-purpose desk for a workroom/computer room. Take a look and see what I did.

It’s got two keyboard trays, extra lighting and lots of shelf space for systems, books and other junk. You can do the same thing from their 3D designer page. Now, if they’d deliver to Taiwan… But the goodnews is they deliver to Canada and the US.
