I can’t recall where I read this, but I vaguely remember once coming across an article (or a chapter in a book) that said you shouldn’t clean up your workspace at the end of the day, as it can hinder creativity.

I was reminded of that while looking at this roundup of the workspaces of 40 creative people.  Some are total messes, and some are OCD-style neat.  Most are somewhere in between.  Interesting.

[ps – check out all the post-it notes in Will Self’s workspace!  That’s a LOT.]

I was on CTV Newschannel’s Direct program again, this past Friday night.  This time I was talking about your “digital afterlife” and what happens to your data online after you die.  Kind of morbid, but also kind of interesting.  Watch the clip here.

I’m always jealous of the different “… of the month” clubs there are in the States.  You can get wine, beer, coffee, makeup, etc delivered to you each month.  There aren’t many clubs like those in Canada, but Toronto-based Steeped and Infused tea company is changing that!

Steeped and Infused has just launched a “Tea of the Month” club, with 3 different sizes (and price points).  Each month you’ll get two types of loose leaf teas mailed to you, in either a sample size (15 grams), an “enjoyment size” (25 grams) or the “indulgence size” (75 grams).  You can sign up for a 6-month of 12-month package.What a great gift idea for Mother’s Day (coming up Sunday May 12).
