A year is a long time, especially in the technology world. I can’t even remember what I was doing at this particular time last year without looking at my foursquare check-in history…sad, I know. I do know where I was in January, though — at The Crunchies. I wasn’t a part of TechCrunch yet. I attended as a guest while working for The Next Web. I wasn’t sure what it was all about, so I definitely… → Read More

As you recall, we were giving away some notebooks from NotebookEngraver.com and JournalEngraver.com.

Whew. It’s been about two weeks since we launched our Steelcase Worst Workspace Challenge. And today we can finally announce a winner. We’ve seen some truly disastrous workspaces during our travels.
