If you work in a “cube,” those generic grey workspaces, you will definitely find Cube Chic of interest! In it, the author takes the average cube and spruces it up to totally transform its look. There are great examples of how you can do this, and none of them cost too much or are so outlandish that your boss will object. (Of course, before you decorate your cube you should always ask your boss first!)

Some of the ideas included are a pub, tiki cube, mod, glam, and golf cube.

Before all the hoopla with Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman, he was also an excellent actor in several earlier works, like this one: A Knight’s Tale. As if Heath were not enough to make this movie hunk-o-licious, there’s also Rufus Sewell.

A Knight’s Tale takes place in the 14th century with a “rocking new twist” (according to the DVD package!) Here is the trailer:
