Remember all that noise I talked about desperately wanting to mount my flat screen to my wall? Well, I might have to take that back - IF I can have the Prism 50 Media Stand, yet another fabulous and inspirational piece from my design guru, Karim Rashid.

The Prism 50 comes in black and white or all black, and it's just modern simplicity at its sexiest. I like the absence of bells and whistles, as it'll keep me from using my TV stand as a clutter collector. The thing is, I might need the rest of the furniture in the picture too. Yowza.

Karim Rashid Alessiwatches: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

The indomitable Karim Rashid - known for being a modern artist who puts his twist on practical household items - strikes again. Working with Italian company Alessi, Rashid has made an accessory that's bright, simple, and graphic - all the aesthetic properties I appreciate in my favorite websites and gadgets.

The Alessiwatch comes in black, green, light blue, brown, pink, violet, and red - and I'm already plotting out not which color to get, but which colors. Do these Alessiwatches do the same thing to you, or are you into a fancier or perhaps digital face?

I avowed to use technology last week to help me keep plants alive - a daunting feat if you know me - but Botanicalls, though impressive and aggressively geeky, is just a little too involved for me. Enter Grobal pots, which, though low tech, are exactly the kind of gadget I need.

Grobal's sophisticated reservoir knows when the plant needs water and nutrients and gives it up, unlike, well, me. Extra points for the drop-dead gorgeous colors, courtesy of designer Karim Rashid!

I'm all about sprucing up my tech - case in point, I'm still drooling over these smartphone wallpapers. Google is always satisfying my customization appetite with its iGoogle Themes and Gmail Themes and it has done it again with its newest Google Chrome themes. With themes from designers like Ella Moss, Anna Sui, Karim Rashid, and Kate Spade (all shown here), as well as many more to choose from, you can be sure your Chrome broswer will never look blah again.
