    The Ultimate Facebook Hideaway

    by  • January 5, 2012 • Design, Household Geek • 0 Comments

    Eat, sleep, and dream about Facebook? Don’t lie… I know of some of you are obsessed like that! Well, Croatian designer Tomislav Zvonarić of DevianTom has created a special bed just for those addicted to Facebook. Shaped in the logo of the most popular social network Facebook, the bed is a conceptual multipractical design that allows you to stay up to date and close to your online friends even when you sleep. The bed serves as a sleeping area and as a desk of sorts so that you may wake and jump onto the Facebook platform the moment you get up in the morning.

    It looks like a neat way to combine two essential items for the student or teen, but the desk area doesn’t seem to have much room for the leggy individuals. If you just can’t stay away from social media and have the need to combine your online and offline worlds then this bed might just be the ideal slumber home for you.

    Cats Tweet?

    by  • January 4, 2012 • Bizzare, Gadgets, Toys • 0 Comments

    Not only have cats taken over the internet…. but now, well yeah… they have taken over the internet… tweeting cats seen far and wide.

    This extraordinary new toy, which was created with the help of the University of Tokyo, comes equipped with a camera, an acceleration sensor and a GPS, which monitors kitty’s every move, translating actions like walking, eating and sleeping into tweets. There are currently 11 fixed phrases available, but Sony CSL is hoping to improve Fifi’s conversational skills soon.

    The device fits easily onto the cat’s collar, so as to avoid hindering its movement, which means your cat can tweet while he is stalking all over the neighborhood. I suppose if you are an extreme cat lover this tool might just the thing for you… if you are wondering why on earth would I want to know where my cat dropped that dead bird… then yeah, you might not be too eager to give this one a try.

    Chipotle’s Video Regarding The Importance of Developing a Sustainable Food Source

    by  • November 16, 2011 • Food, Green • 0 Comments

    This short film, by film-maker Johnny Kelly, depicts the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future. Both the film and the soundtrack were commissioned by Chipotle to emphasize the importance of developing a sustainable food system.

    Chipotle Mexican Grill pioneered the use of organic, locally grown ingredients in fast food, and has created a nonprofit foundation to support sustainable farming practices. They are the only fast food chain to do so and we applaud them for their forward movement in this era.

    The new Chipotle Cultivate Foundation says it will support organizations for family farms; food education programs for younger generations; and ranchers and farmers who are developing more sustainable practices.

    Coldplay’s haunting classic ‘The Scientist’ is performed by country music legend Willie Nelson for the soundtrack of the short film entitled, “Back to the Start.”

    Recycled Eco-Friendly Cannibalistic Table

    by  • November 8, 2011 • Bizzare, Design, Green • 0 Comments

    This Auto Cannibalistic Table by Atema Architecture is Made with Egg Cartons and literally eats itself while growing life!

    The Auto Cannibalistic Table is basically a giant decomposing flower pot made out of paper egg cartons. Herbs are planted inside the table and as you water the table the cardboard decomposes and the plants grow. The herbs end up eating the structure of the table as they grow, so you can use the table to provide you food as well as a place to eat it off.

    While this recycled table is eco-friendly and unique, it obviously is not meant to last very long, and probably better suited outdoors but the trade off- lots of tasty herbs!

    Its Pink Buckyball Desk Toy Time!

    by  • September 13, 2011 • Gadgets, Toys • 0 Comments

    I am a complete addict when it comes to stress relieving toys (maybe not a great thing eh?). I have tons of little squishy balls sitting by my computer for when its late at night and something I am coding goes crash and boom. They are great… but my newest obsession is with Bucky Balls… omg, they are awesomely addicting!!

    Little bitty magnetic balls (or cubes) can be mold, shaped, squished, contorted into just about any shape you can think of. They are the perfect toy to get your mind off what is stressing you out. And the best part… they come in PINK right now (or at least until Sept. 16th!) So get them while you can.. or just get the regular ones and I am sure you will become an addict just like me!

    Recycled Computer Keyboard Clutch

    by  • September 4, 2011 • Apparel, Design, Green • 0 Comments

    I adore unique artwork that is functional and geeky, as well as eco-friendly, and my latest find is just that! The Recycled Keyboard Clutch is made from old computer keyboard keys (not in any particular layout so don’t go looking for hidden messages… but wouldn’t that be awesome!)

    The 6″ x 9″ clutch is completely covered in the keys on the outside and offers a standard interior pouch perfect for carrying keys, your phone, money, lipstick, and still offers room to add a few numbers should you choose to collect them ;) The perfect gift for your fashionably geeky friend or relative or just a fun accessory to carry around for conversation sake.
