I wouldn't suggest holding a candle near this lamp. The Brave New World Lamp started as a concept piece of ramdom "thought-initiated construction" and was first available in Europe and now is finally available stateside. Constructed out of bamboo without an actually plan in mind. It was created by just carefully applying pieces of wood together to form a shape which eventually became a lamp. It supports a max of 20W and retails for $3214. Now that's alot of green for some bamboo!

Garbage cans are not meant to be sexy or even a remotely appealing. They are only meant to hold your trash and hide the box of donuts you over indulged on.

HoMedics has turned water filtration on its ear today with the release of the Restore, a complete water purification system in a pitcher.

Restore’s UV Clean Technology utilizes UV light in the C spectrum to kill most of this bacteria. Geez…I’m not sure what kind of water HoMedics thinks we are drinking…Its sounds like its from the street or toilet bowl with all this bacteria it plans on killing with the UV light.  The Restore will

Today we had the opportunity of meeting with James Dyson himself and getting a hands-on with the new Dyson Air Multiplier. If you haven't heard about it already, the Air Multiplier is the world's first "bladeless fan" that can produce an interrupted stream of smooth air without any buffeting. We'd by lying if we said we understood the ingenious technology process that went in to the design of the Air Multiplier, and James did do a great job of explaining it to us, but instead we'll get right to the practicality of the device. First of all, because it's bladeless - it's super safe. You can literally stick your head through it without getting hurt. We can especially vouch for that, since we watched a fellow blogger take a "head shot" using one. The device is also portable, you can dismantle it in to two pieces for easy traveling and throwing into a suitcase.

Many women have difficulties getting pregnant and usually the solution is IVF. This is an expensive method that sometimes needs to be repeated over and over until successful. DuoFertility is an advanced fertility monitor that measures a woman’s temperature 20,000 times, every 24 hours to provide a very accurate reading of temperature changes in your Basal Body Temperature. Ovulation causes a change in BBT enabling and the DuoFertility indicates when a couple should try and conceive. "DuoFertility automatically collects BBT for analysis, and in addition a number of other general fertility clues and health symptoms, such as ovulation pain, cervical mucus quality and illness, can be manually input into the monitor to aid the analysis and improve the prediction."  The best part is, there is no peeing into any applicator to get results. Just wear the DuoFertility sensor under your arm and DuoFertility will do the work for you.

For those who aren’t familiar with the device it helps those gradually wake up by softly increasing the light for a more pleasant and re-energized way of starting your day.
