This here is the Cima Ladder and if you’ve been on the look-out for a weird, lightweight (less than a kilogram) and very odd ladder made in carbon-fibre composite it might just be a winner.
Let’s hear it from Cima themselves:
“Like climbing a tree, brings us closer to the basic nature of climbing up to reach the top, climbing as a metaphor of growth and self elevation in life.”
Errr. Yeah. Anyway, it’s available in both neon green and neon pink.

Does the boss force you to work long, warm hours at the office while refusing to fix the air condition? No (ass) sweat! Here’s the incredible Self-Cooling Seat Cushion.
This thing is filled with some sort of natural mineral crystals, and while you sit on it they melt and produce a nice cooling sensation for your hiney. It’s all encased in a closed loop system, so when your work day is over you just put it to rest during the night and the minerals regenerate, over and over again (no refrigerator needed).

I don’t know if the Flying Alarm Clock PI722 is is the same flying/hovering alarm clock that appeared as a concept about year ago, but it seems to be doing the exact same thing. When the alarm goes off the propeller thingy starts flying around in your room and you’ll have to return it to the base station to silence it. Ought to get anyone up from bed.

Bitman Video Bulb is a Japanese toy that promises to light up any house party. Just plug it in your TV’s RCA video jack and Bitman will pop up on the screen, portrayed as a giant, pixeled stick man. He’ll run around in his pixel house, climbing stairs and dance wherever he wants to (which seems to be pretty much everywhere).
If everything goes like planned your house party guests will stare in awe for a while and then blindly join him in his crazy monkey disco dance. Or something.

This is Hero, a 20" upright suitcase in the Samsonite Black Label collection. It’s designed by Alexander McQueen and.. well… Let’s just hand him the “Creepiest Suitcase Ever” award right away. It’s not as creepy as the Spine Lamp, but still a bit too H.R Giger for my taste.
“The human form is treated just like an animal skin, with the ribcage and sternum at the front of the case, and backbone at the back. The inside is formed by the negative of the outside shape in a soft molded form providing contrast with the outer protective hard shell.”

If the phrase “damn, I knew I should’ve brought my paper shredder” is something you’ve actually thought recently the Portable USB Paper Shredder might just be something for you. For 22 bucks you get a paper shredder that’ll function as long as there’s an unused USB port somewhere nearby.
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 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.

Okay, it’s Friday so let’s bring forth the weird products: The USB Think Light is a USB-connected desk lamp powered by your keyboard strokes. The more you type, the more it glows.
Anyone who’s into evil management should get one of these for each employee, excellent visual indicator on how much they actually work (frenetic instant messaging will light this thing up too though…)

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.
