Hi Higgins,

I run OnMyDesk – Thanks for featuring my blog.

I just thought I’d confirm that the blog generates no money at all.

I have made a point in NOT including any paid advertising or google ads. It’s just not what the blog is about.

People contact me with their photos, and their words, and I post them… Any flickr groups that exist are just a coincidence.

Steph – this one is more than just photos pulled from flickr. It focuses on illustrators and designers, and has guided text-based tours by the people themselves. So I’m assuming this is a legitimate site.

One of the things that bugs me about all of these new photo blogs springing up is that many of them are just imitating the subject matter of long-established flickr photo groups, stealing photos from that site, adding google ads, and setting it all free on an unsuspecting world to gather ad money. I’d have to look carefully at this one, but I suspect it’s one of them, as there has been a very active “My workspace” flickr photo group for years now.

I want that first office. I like all the stuff on the walls.

Table? What table? All I see is piles of paper.

Shouldn’t that be “precarious”?

Don’t say that you have “a desk full of piles.” Instead, explain that you utilize a basic piling system. I, on the other hand, have been using a rather complex piling system for years.

Columbia has an article in it’s alumni newsletter about messy offices, by none other than a Professor of Management at the Business School. Great picture of his office. Love his whiteboard. Other Nobel Prize winners offices are similar. See the website linked to my name above.

I don’t really have piles of paper on my desk… they’re more like snowdrifts.
