In the Cubicle Trenches – Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction

Assert dominion over your desktop. Between the instructions provided in John Austin’s book and the key to your company’s office supplies cabinet, you need tolerate no threat to the security of your cubicle.

I’ve long given up the life of cubicle dweller, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten the roots of my working experience. So, it was with great anticipation that I was given a review copy of John Austin’s new book, Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction: Build Implements of Spitball Warfare.

It’s a collection of less-than-lethal weapons easily buildable from paper clips, pencils, rubber bands, and plastic eating utensils. Some of the projects appear to be inspired by the stuff in my book Art of the Catapult, but on a much smaller scale, so they’re suitable for pissing off Dwight in the next cube, but not really getting Toby involved.
