Cable Clutter: some hope?
Posted: 19/05/08
As someone who is notorious for having a the old Medussa of cables wherever I work, I was happy to find out recently that there are a wealth of resources devoted to the art of cleaning up the mess that cables leave behind.
I assume this trend is growing since the average consumer has even more handheld electronics and peripherals now more than ever. And of course those crazy flatscreen TVs!
Well anyways here’s an article by Lifehacker which discusses using an Ikea bin to hold up some cables. As well, the site Unclutterer has a section on their blog devoted to cable clutter – including the video posted above. Last but not least is a great feature by The Closet Entrepreneur which has some nice photos of people battling this embarrassing domestic condition.
Browse around and you will find that you are not alone in looking for ways to make your studio space more easy on the eyes.
Now here’s the funny part, I have yet to try any of these ideas out, but you are more than free to. I myself am skeptical because I take the elitist view that studio gear and the cables attached shouldn’t be heavily tied down to one spot in your room, but I will be gladly proven wrong should any of these work out nicely. And please report back here if you have any success!
