In case you missed it, here’s furniture design wrapup from our tech blog Zedomax:

Workstation Pod is a must for a modern office or livingroom.  Did I hear an iPod coffee table?  Surf chair is another one of those cool modern style musts.  Fiberglass lamp chair is for the multi-taskers.  Get the pong table so you can eat and play too.  The moon cabinet is another one of those multi-tasker wannabes…  Antidiva Micama snake chair is cool.  XYZ all-in-one computer desk is innovative!  If you can afford it, get the $45K car couch…

Here’s a cool device you can hack out of your IKEA furniture parts.

“Ikea hacking” seems to be an emergent meme these days. Etsy’s The Storque did a piece on it recently, linking to last week’s New York Times article. And it came up at last night’s Dorkbot DC AfterDork, in this case, the idea of using Ikea fixtures and enclosures as handy and handsome electronics project boxes. Above is a laptop stand, made from two Ikea “slinga” brackets. It’s one of the “hacks” that can be found on the Ikea Hacker blog.

We are working with Halo Technologies, Inc. to promote their vacuum while promoting our new site. This vacuum can be great for completely eliminating germs from your bedroom.
Here’s more information on the Halo UVX, which you will be fightin’ for:

Introducing the only vacuum that combines the germ-killing power of ultraviolet light with industry-leading suction. Medical studies have shown for decades that traditional vacuums cannot kill the millions of germs that live in your carpet. By utilizing the same technology used to disinfect hospitals, Halo can instantly kill the dust mites, bacteria, mold and other harmful microscopic germs that live in your carpet. Without the use of harsh chemicals. Your carpet will finally be as clean as the rest of your home, and that will help everyone breathe a little easier.

but here’s a bed:  bed  (get it?)

Since there are so many bed and furniture stores, it’d be nice to have them in a categorized fashion.  So we started a Bed and  Furniture Store Link List on our new bed wiki.

Well, that’s the only thing I could think of that might help all you bed and furniture sellers.  At first we were going to open a marketplace for bedding stuff but it seems like we just don’t want to get too complicated so this might be a very good way.

Please feel free to register and post your online store here.  It should be pretty easy to do since I left some examples “Your Store” you can edit.

Hmmm… thinking of this link list, I think we can do much more in the future of organizing some of the information on our blog…

When writing in a blog about beds, the word “Blow” usually brings a few quirky brows and sadistic smiles. Okay, read again. . The Blow Table Lamp is designed by Studio Italia Design, and it has a low-voltage lamp, ENCASED in an outer crystal-clear globe. It’s direction is controlled by a decorative magnet located outside the globe. Put it anywhere ON the globe, and the inside lamp follows it’s direction. Uber cool as the geeks say! Perfect for a bedside lamp of any geek’s room. In fact,a  must have!
