Keeping an eye on stylish
gear and technology.

This shelf is called The Corner Tree (designed by Abhinav Dapke), and I wouldn’t mind putting one in a corner at the office at all. By the looks of it it’s not in production yet though.

The Ipevo Solo 1 is something of a landline/VoIP hybrid. It’s got an embedded Skype client so you won’t need your computer for incoming and outgoing Skype calls at all. Other than that it sports speakerphone, anti-echo design, a 2" color display and speed-dial.

This is the Lifting Man CD Holder, featuring a tiny man who’ll make sure your CD’s are leaning comfortably, forever. It measures 4.7" x 9.5" x 8.25" and can be hung on the wall, but why ruin the effect?

Allright, this little thing will sit on your desk and offer you a 4-port USB hub, alarm clock and an electric letter opener. That’s yet another USB-powered device you probably didn’t know you needed.

The Do It Yourself Wall Clock is actually kit consisting of a bunch of self-adhesive 2.25" cubes along with the actual clock with 12.25" / 9.25" long hands. Just put the clock somewhere and shape the clock just the way you like it.

The Brick Clock is made in some sort of hard-lookin’ brick imitation material sporting enough transparency to let the LED clock shine through it. Heavy stuff, and it’ll wake you in the morning too.

The Gforce LED Calendar Clock (no, not GeForce) is 1) energy-efficient, 2) extremely bright (according to Gadget Universe it functions well as a night light) and 3) big (18"x12"x3"). Besides telling the time you get the current date and temperature as well.

LaCie 2TB Ethernet Big Disk is, despite the name, actually quite small. Hook this up on your network and you’ll have 2 whopping terabytes of storage (about 2000 gigabytes) for all your P2P and torrent document backup needs. There’s a way cheaper 1TB model available as well, but that would never be enough now, would it?

Other than the impressive storage capabilities it’s fully Windows, Mac and Linux compatible and can stream multimedia content to UPnP-compatible devices.

(Man, I remember saving money an entire summer to buy a 300 MB HDD once)

This is Mark Beam’s Spine Lamp and if there was such a thing as the Freshpilot Creepiest Lamp Ever Award I’d hand it to him right away. Basically you get a golden, flexible human spine with a marble base - and it’ll cost you $1500.

Clearly a bargain if your name is Lecter and you need something stylish to illuminate your cell while waiting for Clarice to arrive.
