I even went to the manufacture’s site and started imaging building my own little cube-land where I could rent out cubes to other poor creative-types and we could build an eco-friendly cube-loving community where we all live (and work) in peace. Good grief, I think this may be how Jonestown started…. Well, since I can’t find a way to legitimately blame it on the Underground, I’m going to blame it on environmental factors. I do, after all, live in one of the most expensive places in the world (San Francisco Bay Area) and for some reason as soon as I hit 35 I was also hit with the need (read real whiney like: neeeeeed) for a home of my own. So much so that I see the little lamp-lit windows of the m-ch and I get all warm inside and think (squeal), “Isn’t it cozy!” Since reading about this little cube-home yesterday I totally and utterly enamored.

I have to say, the idea of my own little contained "writer's cube" is growing on me. Tom the Writing Hermit. Deb: I installed wi-fi here a couple years ago and often drag the laptop out back during the summer. No better way to go. Carson; If I had an external office, I'd probably never go there. But then, I'm reasonably lazy. I liked the pastoral feel and “green” low e-home, which had photovoltaic cells for power.

Personally, I'm fond of the Golden Cube model. I'm not really sure it really feels "Venetian" to me, but I do like it. In the meantime, I'll continue to split time between the Brackney homestead and the no-frills office I maintain about 30 minutes down the road in Lawrence, KS. Carson I checked out the M-CHs.

Not the greatest scenario but it allows me to keep an eye on things. Eventually Mr.Ng will install an office somewhere in the house (probably the basement) but it's the best we can do for now. Summer finds me on the back deck or pool deck, better than the kitchen table and not as close to the fridge. Distractions abound no matter where I work. I work from a laptop on my kitchen table.
