Mari­ette Mif­flin has a series of arti­cles about orga­niz­ing house­wares and appli­ances in About​.Com. This is one of those.
I like it for its sim­plic­ity and prac­ti­cal­ity. And I’ve actu­ally done this to save space in my pantry.

Remem­ber when cof­fee mug trees were the rage? By the way, you can still find some of those in some retail out­lets and flea mar­kets, but they do require suf­fi­cient under-cabinet height and place­ment room on the counter. You also must ensure that the tree remains bal­anced at all times to pre­vent a fall …

For my non-Filipino read­ers, just a short back­grounder: On the Binib­in­ing Pilip­inas com­pe­ti­tion (this is the beauty pageant that chooses the Philip­pine rep­re­sen­ta­tives to the Miss Uni­verse and Miss World tour­na­ment) sev­eral months ago, Miss Jan­ina San Miguel (who will rep­re­sent us for the Ms. World com­pe­ti­tion) got cas­ti­gated for her apparently-stupid answer and “Carabao Eng­lish”.
She has been called many names: YouTube Queen (her video has got­ten 2.3 Mil­lion hits!), and Melanie Mar­quez Jr. (Melanie Mar­quez is another Fil­ipino beauty queen known for her leg­endary and spon­ta­neous Eng­lish) among others. …

Rock­et­Dock Soft­ware

This is another COOL soft­ware I learned about through my best­friend Mar­ven, who has become quite a techy per­son ever since he started work­ing for the gov­ern­ment (*snicker*).
I have become a Mac user (ahem ahem) ever since I got my Pro from the office a month ago, but I have actu­ally been using Rock­et­dock (which is a Win­dows envi­ron­ment soft­ware) longer.
