Extreme beds, for extreme tastes

Posted Friday, April 11th, 2008 by Alex Ion

For me the bed I sleep in is very important. I don’t need it soft because I get back pains so I’m always picky when I choose to buy one. A few days ago I noticed that Freshome has a very interesting list of 16 most extreme and modern beds, and at least a four of them got my attention.

1st. The “private cloud”. I liked it because it’s simple but modern at a time and has a nice tough mattress from what I see in the picture.

2nd. The “high fidelity canopy” by Italian designer Edoardo Carlino. It seems very intimate and if your girlfriend allows you it has web surfing, watch movies, play games and listen to music. How fun is this, if you’re a lazy geek?

3rd. The Scoop! This is something that’s not really intended for geek-use but would get you a “lady” for sure. It combines the sofa functions with bed functions to surprise your guests.

4th. The home cinema rack. To be honest it’s fighting for the 3rd place with The Scoop! to get you a “lady” in bed and has a few interesting features. It has (obviously) a big screen for you to watch DVDs or connect your favorite console. It would be hard to play Nintendo Sports from the bed, but it’s still interesting.

Latest Geek Accessory, the Latex Brain Hat

Latex Brain Hat

I don’t know if the latex brain hat will get your parents and grandparents a heart attack but I’m sure your geek fellows will be thrilled and will have infinite respect for you and for your hat. It has a 24-inch circumference and costs only $13.99 . Too bad we don’t have a geek girl model to use it, I’m sure it looks better on them.

Moby mobile bath tub

If your house has no pool, Devicepedia brings you the solution. A mobile bathing unit by ceramist and designer Ole Jensen. Dubbed Moby it is made of white EPDM rubber and cork, has a cord that you plug to a water source and water climbs vertically.

It was designed for the MINDCRAFT exhibition that takes place in Milan and Ole said that it’s “A soft tub for the body. For children and adults. For play and healing. In the garden or the stylish bathroom.”

Make Your Own Confetti Bomb

Posted Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 by Alex Ion

April 1st, the best time for pranks. If you’re at the office and you need a quick solution for a dangerous but funny confetti bomb all you need is some confetti, a 35mm film canister and a can of compressed air. Apparently the white canisters are better because of a much tighter lid that will make more noise. Here is how you set it up.

Koziol Clark Superman Stapler

Koziol Clark Superman Stapler

I don’t know about you but for me the Koziol Clark Superman Stapler is weird because I can’t find the similarities between Superman and the design. I mean, all right it probably does the job right but is Clark that ugly? Don’t think these guys have been ingenious choosing the name but they promise to “staple your papers faster than a speeding bullet!”. Beware with kryptonite paper though.
