Geek Tip: Make Your Workstation a Little More Ergonomic
It doesn't take much to make your home workstation a little more body friendly. So before you head back to school this Fall, add a few ergonomic touches to your home office. I have professed my love for the Ikea Dave Laptop stand many times before, so if you must work in front of the tube (like yours truly), put it on a stand and not on your lap!
Milk Carton Lamps: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
If you're a fan of milk (and you'd have to be), today is your lucky day. I found yet another milky product that you can use at home, without having to worry about it spoiling. Remember the milk external hard drives?
Electro Puff Lamp Dimmer: Dim It, Pet It
When my electrician brother-in-law installed a dimmer for me once, I was the happiest girl in the whole wide world. Why are dimmers so radical? Why is chocolate delicious?
Photography Floor Lamp: Love It or Leave It?
The glamour of an old-timey movie set or photography shoot can now be yours! CB2's Photography Floor Lamp ($100) has succeeded in making something very industrial blend right into modern decor. Though I hope the light from this lamp isn't as white and bright as what they need for shoots, I think I could see this in my living room.
iPot: Not Made by Apple, But Still Rad. . . You Like?
I wonder if Steve Jobs loves that people keep appending an "i" to their products in an Apple-like fashion, or if he thinks they're stealing his thunder. Either way, you put an i in front of a simple word, and you suddenly have an attention-grabbing product name.
At least the latest perpetrator of this iCrime, the iPot, is actually pretty useful and attractive, not unlike Apple products in general, so it's not an offhand association.
Solo Microphone Pendant Light: Love It or Leave It?
My addictions to Rock Band and SingStar have made me an unexpected ham lately. I sing anywhere and everywhere, which I'm sure is a total delight and not annoying at all to my co-workers, boyfriend, and people on the train with me. I use hairbrushes or my thumb — trusty stand-in microphones — but what if it was the other way around, and microphones stood in for something else?
Visible Cord Lamp: Love It or Leave It?
I spend so much time trying to hide my cords, and wind my cords, that sometimes I just want to be totally rid of cords. That's why I would have never considered something that's normally the general bane of my existence to be beautiful. I am totally speechless about this lamp — a design presented by Nicolo Taliani at this year's ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair).
Lamp That Measures Type Speed: Geeky or Geek Chic?
Sure everyone wants to know how fast they type, or how to type faster, but is a large desk accessory that lights up while you type the right diagnostic tool? This USB-powered desk lamp from Solid Alliance fluctuates between a golden color and a brighter blue as your typing speed intensifies. Presumably it's meant to encourage you to keep your typing speed in the blue zone, and while it's not particularly hideous, I'm not sure I'd set it up in my office.
Push-pin Night Stand And Lamp
Like any regular person I have a love for all things giant and all things miniature. While miniature models offer that "awwww, it's so cute!" effect, giant models usually serve up the "awww that's goofy!"
Light Up Your Life With An iPod Lamp
Yes folks, there is an iPod accessory for every occasion. Are you going on a trip? You can extend your battery for 100 hours.
