I don't know if it's my fascination with famous techie tycoons or if I have an inner fetish for things that make me go vroom, but when Automotoportal compiled a list of famous geeks and their rides, I needed to know more. When money isn't an issue for these well-known gazillionaires, it's interesting to see what make and model of cars they take to the streets.
Bill Gates of Microsoft cruises around in a 1988 Porsche 959 Coupe, while Apple mogul Steve Jobs drives a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. Larry Ellison of Oracle uses his Bentley Continental Flying Spur for joyrides and Michael Dell of Dell computers speeds around in a 2008 Porsche Boxster. Sweet rides all around, but I kinda figured Jobs to be a vintage car guy too. Now if only they'd take some advice from New York Times technology columnist and CBS news correspondent David Pogue and drive a Toyota Prius - being earthy is just as hot. Just ask Leo.

Shopping For: Brian Grazer's Brass Task Lamp

In the March issue of Architectural Digest, Hollywood producer Brian Grazer takes the magazine inside his tastefully appointed office for a tour. Grazer, who has been nominated for 43 Oscars and is the driving organizing force behind this year's Oscars, is known for his smart decision-making skills and obviously put that skill set to work when he hired famed decorator Michael S. Smith to decorate his office (Smith also decorated two of Grazer's homes).

Smith divided the office up into a work zone, shown here, which is dominated by a Scandinavian modern desk and bookshelf. The other part of the office features comfortable seating options and a cocktail table, perfect for entertaining and relaxing.

My eyes were immediately drawn to the cool vintage-looking brass task lamp on Grazer's desk. This lamp looks like it's the Christian Dell Table Lamp ($1,650). Designed in the 1930s, this lamp was part of the original Kaiser-Idell range. Dell was a German silversmith, an industrial designer, and an influential teacher at the Bauhaus from 1922-1933. This lamp seems like a great fit for Grazer's aesthetic and work ethic, given its simple, intelligent, and lovely design.

I've rounded up a number of choices that will satisfy your trendy brass task lamp needs - one for as little as $25. Take a look at my picks below.
