After attending the Doodle 4 Google awards day at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, I was certainly enamored with all of the goodies offered to full-time staffers. But what I happened to miss, and should have sought out to see if the rumors were true, were the posh Toto toilets. According to sfist, these modern toilets - found in Google's California offices - not only offer front and rear cleansing but they'll dry you as well! And for those employees that don't feel like getting the full bidet treatment, they can rest and relax on the toilet's heated seat. This takes the saying "business as usual" to a whole new level!

As pathetic as it is, I think of my computer as an extension of me, in that I want to keep it safe from bumps and bruises like any good mom. I take the time to select a comfortably padded bag or sleeve for my laptop, so shouldn't I want to protect it at home? Acme makes soft, sleek, and extremely attractive iCovers, not only for laptop screens, but Apple cinema displays and monitors. I actually hunted for something like this a year or so ago for my monitors and couldn't find it, so I sewed it. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to post my instructions, but all I can say is that they don't look near as pretty as the iCovers.
Prices range from about $30 to $80, and they even take custom orders.
Here's a heartwarming story to put you in a good mood before the weekend. The Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation and Nintendo have teamed up to put Fun Centers featuring Wii gaming consoles in about 500 hospitals across the US and Canada by the end of the year, with 750 more to come later this year.
Fun Centers will not only come with a Wii and games like Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports and Mario Party 8, but will also feature a Sharp AQUOS flat screen TV and a DVD player. The Centers have been created to offer children an entertaining respite during difficult hospital stays. "We hope the new Fun Centers will give kids and their loved ones an opportunity to play, laugh and connect with each other amid trying circumstances," said Don James, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Operations.
If you're one of the good people in California, like Seal, who has sworn off using their cell phone while driving because of the new law, then maybe you will appreciate this car cell phone holder. Oh, and you love Spiderman? You're all set.
Whether you hit up a Bluetooth device or a headset, it would be great to have something like this to hold your phone secure while you cruise and gab. But, I'm not four years old, alas, so I have to leave this product (but love the idea). What do you think?
So you went to all that trouble to create a wedding website, uploaded photos, maps, write cute stories about how you met and about your wedding party — are you supposed to just let it turn into Internet dust? I'm sure you've thought to post your honeymoon photos on the site after the party, but have you thought about buying your domain (try GoDaddy) and then transferring your stuff into a blog?
Keep your family updated on your married life (but not too updated, you don't want to TMI Aunt Martha), and then, if you start a family, keep everyone abreast of that, too!
If you decide to buy your domain, and keep a blog about your new life (or simply photos), you could include a small card telling your guests as such in thank-you cards.
If you can't afford a trip to the Amazon because of the prices of dumb expensive gas, might I suggest you stymie those cravings with a new laptop sleeve? Don't waste your ducats on a safari, just coat your favorite animal (ahem, Tiger, Leopard, Firefox. . . ) in one of these jungle-inspired laptop carriers!

As much as I love my iPhone, I'm actually shocked to say that I haven't "pimped it to its potential!" While I'm usually concerned with my desktop's wallpaper, my iPhone wallpaper gets neglected with boring photos. Never again! There's actually a ridiculously great site called iPhoneky that offers the funkiest wallpapers for iPod Touchs and iPhones. There are soo many designs to choose from and they are free to download and use.
The easiest way to get one of the pics on your iPhone or iPod Touch is to drag the photo into the iTunes picture folder when your iPhone and iTunes are syncing. Another option is to email the pic to yourself and download it directly onto your iPhone. Once the pic is saved just click on properties and "Use As Wallpaper." And hopefully you will have a beautiful new wallpaper to look at!
