The Drift Table Drift

So, I’m getting my mitts on the Drift Table this Friday.

A low coffee-table on wheels, with a viewing window set into the top

In an idle moment last week, I posted about it at MetaFilter. The link was picked up on by Gizmodo, and is now turning up here and there.

Were I in a fanciful mood, I might suggest that watching the link drift slowly from site to site has been a foretaste of the inevitable hours I will spend staring into the Drift Table’s viewport over the coming weeks. This post is certainly a foretaste of the inevitable slew of entries on the topic over the coming weeks.

Defo - it’s not going to be until the middle of next now, as the table got broken in transit, but I think some sort of ‘Ooh, my cup of tea is making it head for Wales!’ party is in order.

Although I have no idea of the drift speed, so it might be more of a ‘Ooh, could you phone me in a week when my cup of tea placement shows some sign of doing something?’ party…
