Dilberts Ultimate Cubicle: the sequel
Stumble It!Digging through the archives I discovered, Dilbert's Ultimate Cubicle, a unique collaboration in 2001 between Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, and Fred Dust of IDEO a leading creative design agency. I propose a sequel.....
Dilbert's ultimate cubicle has all sorts of useful features such as a fold-out, non-stealable guest chair and a web-cam for monitoring the bosses door to see if they are in.
At lot has happened in the last 5 years so I now request that the pair get back together in a new collaborative venture to design ‘Dilbert’s Ultimate Virtual Team Room’.
