The First String Electric Guitar Lamp

Abby McVay, Jan 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is definitely one of the more cheesy bits of lighting to have lying about in your living room. However, I'm sure some poor sap sees this as the coolest lamp of all time. Although I have an high appreciation for music, and create some of my own from time to time, I can't see myself turning into enough of a fanatic to find this lamp even remotely appealing.

Christina Crouch, Jan 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

Pyramat which is all about performance gaming had a few different gaming chairs on show tonight. I got a relatively good look at two of them, the PM450-WR Sound Rocker and the PC Gaming Chair 2.1. The PM450-WR Sound Rocker has speakers and a subwoofer with wireless audio reception. It has a cordless rechargeable battery and iPod,Mp3,DS Lite and PSP input. There’s a 24GHz wireless transmitter and it’s made from breathable microfiber fabric. It comes with a multiplayer connection, volume/base controls, headphone jack, a storage pocket and it folds away for storage and has carrying handles for easy transport. Read The Full Story

Jump Seat for the grown up gamers

Abby McVay, Jan 2nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Many gamers have griped that their spouse or significant other has issues with their gaming habits. Mostly the issue is when you're gaming they'd prefer it if you were doing something else. Never have I heard a spouse complain that the game console is cluttering up the living room. However, apparently someone is complaining or furniture such as this wouldn't exist. Read The Full Story

Vibrating Mitt Chair is shaped like a glove

Christina Crouch, Dec 28th 2007 Discuss [0]

You know, I can’t recall ever thinking it would be great if I could sit on a giant hand and have it massage my butt. If I did though, I’m sure I was thinking of something like the Vibrating Mitt Chair. Read The Full Story

ChiliPad – Hot and cool nights

Christina Crouch, Dec 27th 2007 Discuss [5]

My room has two temperatures: stifling hot and freezing cold. I have a little A/C and a few fans, and lots of blankets to try to even things out but it never quite works, so I’m always open to new suggestions. The ChiliPad sounds excellent to me. Read The Full Story

Michelle Kaufman Designs Contemporary Surfaces – Another Way to Go Green

Christina Crouch, Dec 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

I’m sure many New Year’s Resolutions this year will involve trying to make homes/lifestyles more ‘green’. I’ve seen gadgets galore to help any individual accomplish this, but the Concreteworkds/MKD surfaces are the first I’ve seen of its kind. Read The Full Story

Bloomframe Balcony for more space in compact places

I adore products that make life easier in small living places. I know what it’s like to have limited living space and it sucks. Read The Full Story

OSIM uSpace Massage Chair – Forget R&R, get M&M (Music and Massage)

Christina Crouch, Dec 19th 2007 Discuss [0]

I love getting a massage. I’d say “who doesn’t” but I do actually know some people who hate it. I have several different products that are supposed to give you a massage but ultimately they are cheap crap. If I had $5k laying around I’d buy myself the OSIM uSpace Massage Chair. It appears to be the next best thing to the real deal. It gives a full body heated massage and comes with seven different techniques including: rolling, kneading, acupressure, tapping and vibration. You can program your own routine or get a personalized acupressure massage from the machine using its “advanced sensors”. Read The Full Story

Cord Lamp – The Non-Cordless Lamp

Christina Crouch, Dec 11th 2007 Discuss [0]

In my experience dealing with cords is nothing short of a monumental hassle. One cord is too long, another too short, you trip over them and knock them loose… the list goes on. The bottom line is that cords = Hassle. Apparently though, it’s not true with everyone because Swedish design group ‘Form Us With Love” has created a Cord Lamp. It embraces the cord and puts it on display (Why do I feel like I should be doing performance art as I say that?). Anyway, let’s get down to it. The lamp has a completely flexible “cord” that allows you to shape the way it stands. Its “cord” base, however, is sturdy so it wont topple over. It seems this is one (probably the only one) appliance it’s ok for the cord to show. It come with an uncovered 60w bulb that really brings the whole piece together. You could purchase one from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for $150. Standing Cord Lamp [via OhGizmo!]

Newspaper Brick Maker – Good for Recycling and fun to say

Christina Crouch, Dec 10th 2007 Discuss [0]

I love making a fire in the fireplace. The warmth and atmosphere it gives off is a great way to end an evening. Unfortunately for myself, my current fireplace is nothing more than a glorified decoration. However, if we ever get it safe enough for use I’ll definitely be picking up a Brick Maker. The Brick Maker is the perfect way to recycle your newspaper for instant gratification. Just fill the Brick Maker with damp paper and it creates the perfect, fireplace ready, briquette. The best part is, these stackable handy bricks do away with ugly paper piles! Read The Full Story

The Voyager Arcade Machine features 36 vintage games

Abby McVay, Dec 7th 2007 Discuss [0]

Every geek in the world has at least the occasional wet dream about having a basement full of arcade machines. Especially the older more accomplished gamers who can't go out into the arcade and play their favorite game. No one seems to carry Pac-Man anymore. This Voyager Arcade Machine has plenty of vintage games to keep you occupied for hours on end. Read The Full Story

RGBY LED Tabletop – No more need for a matching tablecloth

Christina Crouch, Dec 6th 2007 Discuss [1]

My mother owns probably 20-30 tablecloths. She has one for every occasion and sometimes has doubles of the same one. She is a matching freak. Personally, I’d rather not have one at all. Read The Full Story
