Reading Windows

For fear of hypocrisy regarding a previous post on productivity, i’ve caught wind of a funky initiative developed by the New Zealand Book Council to help people read at work, discreetly. ReadatWork.co.nz. A collection of literature is embedded into a windows style interface which looks like work (to your boss).

Take a look at Read at Work.

As I write this i’m torn. Pretending you’re working so you don’t get reprimanded by the boss is not something i support, however I enjoy the cheekiness of the concept.

Notice the cheap shots at MS programs names e.g. Powerpont.
