Also say hello to Marc Orchant--and goodbye to the office you know today. In his Office Evolution blog [Subscribe to RSS feed], Marc -- a self-described productivity maven, gadget freak, and recovering graphic designer -- will focus on the evolving nature of knowledge work and the ways that technology continues to impact our productivity and our increasing mobility.
