Projects
and ideas
to enhance
your
cubicle
world

Astound your friends! Amaze your colleagues! Worry your family!

Embrace the philosophy of improvisational fabrication and really personalize your office cubicle. Kaden Harris-the unconventional mind behind Eccentric Genius -takes aspiring and die-hard makers into a highly entertaining parallel universe of surreal workplace oriented projects that combine a wide spectrum of basic shop techniques, alternative material sourcing and lateral design paths. From scale model Greco-Roman projectile launchers to mood-enhancing audio visual effects, each project offers a different set of challenges, skills, maker lore and bad puns.
  • The perfect golf swing on your desktop
  • Lucid dream state induction device
  • USB-powered bubble blower
  • An unfathomably convoluted Fog machine
  • A personal guillotine
  • And many other improbable exercises in simple mechanisms and primary tool use for the opposably thumbed

Far more than a collection of project "how-tos", Eccentric Cubicle offers oblique industrial design and fabrication philosophies, sardonic social commentary and enthusiastic encouragement for Makers to adapt, modify and hack their way though the builds.


Enhance your workshop skill set and bring character and life to your office desktop with Eccentric Cubicle!

Vox Populi: The Critics Are Impressed

Over in Hackensack, The Record seemed impressed, but who's this Cramer guy they're on about?

Chris Miller at Idonotes was similarly kind, but is overstating the degree of difficulty inherent in the builds;  trust me, gang, there are NO mad skillz required to pull off these projects.

Dave Roman from the GCPCUG also weighed in favourably, and I'm getting good ink from the worthies on Amazon too. Susan Prosser in particular made me blush 17 different ways.  Well met, Susan...Cheers.

To my absolute joy, Red at The Red Ferret (my fave gadetry site evah!) likes it, and Solarobotics was unbelievably kind.   Really... .

STOP THE PRESSES!!  Can you say New York Post, kids?

Over at Wired, GeekDad John Baichtal is similarly impressed

Any Canadian of a certain age will understand the patriotic welling of pride that I experienced as a result of this long and favourable interview in the venerable Globe and Mail

Life is good when a good review comes in from WombatSpace...
