Ok here is something neat from Justin Wickett. With the proper connections, a mobile phone can send a simple text message to a computer and turn off the lights. Well, it’s an innovative way of trying to innovate your light controls but the fact remains that the idea is really something to consider.

Using Twitter, a new social networking site, you can set up your laptop and connect it to your light switches (or any other electrical device) and control the device by sending text messages to your twitter account. It’s a fairly simple setup using this software which controls this hightech lightswitch (which is suprisingly affordable)

Hey I love this Wogg 24 Bed! It is stylish and modern, but best of all is it offers a comfortable space for reading, working on the laptop, relaxing with a film on DVD, breakfast and etc. It has a swiveling arm attached to the headboard, which can be serving as a night table, or it can be set up as a desk by tilting it further. It also has a pouch at the arm which is ideal for utensils and odds and ends.

Just want to share with all of you this very funny dog picture where I saw it at http://www.cybersalt.org.

Look closer, the dog’s face expression really looks like a real working man with a “very-tired-expression”. Haha… Besides, the dog is enjoying the moment working on the bed. How did they shoot this picture? Incredible!

For all of you geeks out there, now you can sleep on you computer desk! Check out this computer-bed from Flying Bed. This is really neat; the bed can be pulled down when you want to sleep; and pulled up when you want to work on your laptop.

Check out this Area Bed, a Scandinavian style furniture. I really like going into a Scandinavian furniture place these days, they got some really cool stuff like sofas that have built-in laptop trays. We will have to find some soon.

Area Home is a NY based company that specializes in bedding and home accessories with a Scandinavian flair. In addition to some terrific bedding patterns, they also make a great bed and matching tables.

Here’s a cool bed with a built-in modem. I don’t know anyone that uses a modem these days, but you could probably modify it to use LAN. Maybe the modem is a DSL modem…

Great news, guys: rather than leaving work at the office, where it belongs, you can now connect to the Internet at all times, thanks to this designer bed which comes with modem already installed. Now, at £5,700, I somehow doubt Ikea will be losing much sleep (sorry) over this one, especially given that a laptop and a wireless network will fulfill exactly the same function, but if you absolutely must have it, The Conran Shop is the place to go.
