One for the Corporate Web Worker
At Web Worker Daily, we’re aware that not everyone is working on the web from a hotel suite, home office, or coffee shop. Quite a few of our readers are leveraging the web from a more corporate location such as the fabled cube farm. If you’re one of them – and we’ve been there ourselves – CubeDoor has a product that might just make life more tolerable. For about $35, you can buy a retractable fabric door that will give you temporary privacy in your cubicle.
The CubeDoor straps to the cubicle walls, and provides a 32-inch high visual barrier that helps tell people you’re working on something and don’t want to be disturbed. If your boss (or the HR department) objects to this cube upgrade, you might be able to get away with the CubeDoor classic, using transparent fabric to get the message across without making you look like such a privileged character.

Yeah, it’s weird, but it was effective.
