Have You Ever Sat Inside Headphones?

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

sonic

The sonic chair provides a unique audio experience, allowing you to sit at the very center of a sound system. Whether you enjoy listening to symphony orchestras, rock concerts, or audio books – the integrated satellite speakers are precisely adapted to your ears. The speakers are encased in a carefully crafted body that creates sufficient volume for powerful bass tones, while a specially developed body-focused sound membrane serves as backrest and further augment the lower frequencies – creating the feeling of a live performance.

The open design ensures a resonance-receptive, well-balanced sound environment. The active and passive sound insulation creates an acoustic island. Background noises will not disrupt the enjoyment of music or an audio book in the sonic chair, and what the listener chooses to hear is hardly audible beyond the chair.

Have a room in your place that’s a tad too small for a traditional desk or are you a sucker for clean design? If so, try the LAX Wall Mounted Desk ($675) from Mash Studios that helps reduce visual space by extending a mere 20″ into your living space.

The desk, made of English Walnut with a natural finish, features sliding cabinet doors and is refined and relaxed enough for those seeking simple workspace options.

Teuco Seaside Bathtub

Italian Spa designer Teuco takes bathtub design to a whole new level. The Seaside breaks the concept of conventional bathroom constraints and becomes it’s own indoor spa. I love the clean lines, alluring highlights and elegant cushions that transform your entire bathing experience.

Water cascades from an entire ledge along one side of the tub, reflecting the light in the turbulence created by the blower jets. The bathing side of the tub, reminiscent of a bank or shore-line, rises gently to a platform with comfortable cushions inviting rest and relaxation.

Seaside brings nature into your home and lets you escape. You’ll be hard pressed to find a bathtub that more seamless in it’s design and more luxurious in its form.

It’s not just a bathtub, it’s a lifestyle. Jump in, the water is perfect!

Apple iPhone Activated and Working

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

activated

Yes!!! Finally, after being on the phone since Friday night with AT&T Customer Care, their activation department, and Apple Tech Support trying to get my phone activated… my Apple iPhone finally works!

If there ever was a test of patience, it was trying to get my iPhone activated. I kid you not when I tell you I was on hold for a total of over 20 hours and talked to over 30 agents. I swore I’d return this darn thing, if it wasn’t activated by today, but luckily it finally is.

Now that I can get past the activation screen, I can tell you wholeheartedly that it’s the most amazing phone on this planet. Apple has reinvented one of our most simple communication tools – the telephone. Samsung, Motorola and Nokia are going to need a miracle to come up with a phone that can be as killer as this one.

Enjoy using your MacBook Pro with a large external display? If so, you’re going to love the Floater T2 ($305). Machined from a single block of aluminum, the vertical stand holds your MacBook Pro perfectly while offering easy access to often used ports.

Do you love summer fresh corn but don’t like having to gnaw on the cob? Williams-Sonoma is here to the rescue. Their Corn Zipper ($12) is a precision tool designed to cleanly, and effortlessly strip kernels from the cob. Simply pull it lengthwise along a cob, allowing its sharp teeth to neatly remove two rows of kernels.

Far safer than a knife, it won’t crush the juicy kernels. It’s made from brushed-stainless-steel and is dishwasher safe.
