S Creed | Desmond Hoodie with Eagle - White Version | UbiWorkshop. Wobble Chess Set. Hey, a chess set that's fun to play with even for people who don't know how to play chess. Umbra brings the world of Wobble to its thinker's game, either to add some whimsy to what is otherwise an insufferably boring, hours-long endeavor, or more probably, so that when a dog or kid plows head first into the board-holding table's leg, its pieces don't fly off in every direction of disarray. Also, check out the video. Just watching the set wobble kind of entrances me. Not Euler's Disk proportions of entrancement, but I can get through the entire 54 seconds of footage. A few times if my VaporBLUNT and vinyl copy of The Dark Side of the Moon are nearby. The Wobble Chess Set, in addition to a nifty concave landscape and weighted, gyrating rooks, knights, et. al., has an aesthetically pleasing walnut and metal composition.
Its design earned creator Adin Mumma an Award of Merit in the 2008 HOW Magazine International Design Award competition. Euler's Disk of Infinite Spin & Sound. I'm not saying the Euler's Disk isn't fascinating and rad and a commendable utilization of the laws of physics, but watching and listening to it creates a great deal of anxiety in my heart. It's like the foreboding music in a scary movie that goes on and on...and on and on...and ends up wreaking more havoc on my psyche than the actual scary part, which tends at least to be one big, percussive boom of I-just-crapped-my-pants that's over in a few seconds.
This, though, this spinning and hissing and spinning and hissing--it increases my resting heart rate by a good 10 beats per minute. By the end of the video, I'm ready for a Xanax. A chrome-plated steel disk with 9 pieces of magnetized holographic foil, Euler's needs only a simple flick of the wrist to set it a-twirl with glimmering visuals and ever-changing, marginally disquieting noises that last for 975 years. Yes, that is correct. I said 975 years. Villain Chair. Being a villain isn't cheap. So, like most actors, rock stars, and former Presidents, villains raise funds for the administration of havoc and execution of attempts to rule the world by selling out. The Villain Chair, available at the bargain price of $7,146--which I believe is more than Richard Gere paid to spend a week with Julia Roberts--is the latest in evil-wreakers' moves to earn some extra cash.
Look, they even put a furry white pussy cat in one of their marketing photos. I'm surprised no one shelled out the extra couple C-notes it would have taken to get a shot of Verne Troyer mugging pinky to lip in the chair. Off topic, but thinking of the Villain Chair obviously makes me think of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, and thinking of Inspector Gadget makes me think of the Doo-doodoo-doo-doo Inspector Gadget theme song, which reminds me of a joke I heard last night that's not about Inspector Gadget. What kind of pants do Mario and Luigi wear? Denim, denim, denim. Titanium & Jack Daniels Barrel Ring. I guess I've been in a serious relationship with Jack Daniels for long enough now that I'm willing to don his ring and announce it to the world. Especially a ring as slick as this one. Check out the genuine used JD white oak barrel interior surrounded by 6al-4v grade 5 titanium.
I may be afraid of commitment, but at least my phobia will be somewhat tempered by his good taste and deep pockets, which I will likely bleed dry as I continue to dick around on the Internet for the rest of my life, taking breaks every now and again to do a few pullups and delt raises, and shoot the shit with hot cougars in asserific spandex at my gym. Yeaaahhh. I may be getting the ring, but Jack Daniels is getting the prize. From Milwaukee's Wedgewood Rings comes the Jack Daniels Whiskey Barrel especiale, available in stone, sandblasted, and polished finishes, and lined with the reclaimed American White Oak that once aged everyone's favorite vice from the south. Zero Gravity Recliner. Varier's Gravity balans may not be new, but it remains Zero Gravity Recliner 1.0. The Original. Like Sean Connery as Bond. Like the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Like Shannen Dougherty in 90210. An ergonomic floatation of relaxation, the chair doesn't just look sick, it allegedly performs like one that will always be imitated, but never replicated too.
The Gravity balans was designed for power naps. Its ability to simulate weightlessness when fully reclined--by elevating legs above heart, rocking gently to the rhythm of breathing--lulls the user into a state of mental and physical recovery, the effects of which endeavor to boost productivity, energy levels, and brain function. According to Varier, the benefits of zero gravity aren't just restricted to nap time. The Gravity balans recliner is available in beech woods colored natural and black lacquered or mocca stained and natural oiled. $20,000 Hypoallergenic Designer House Cat. The Ashera is possibly the only cat that is acceptable for a single male to own. Because it's about the size of an ocelot, and weighs 30 freakin' pounds. And that's 30 pounds of genetically-gifted muscle, not 30 pounds of owner-gifted Fancy Feast. You will not be carrying this cat on an airplane and shoving it under the seat in front of you. What you will be doing: walking it on a leash; calling it by name...and eating your hat when it responds; playing fetch with it; and praying to God it comes litter box trained, because if a cat the size of your 6-year-old nephew whizzes in your house, the toxins and suffocating ammonia stench from that little accident is going to require you to tear down and start over.
On top of being a freak of nature, the cat is also hypoallergenic, and OK for people typically allergic to cat hair and particulates to own without risk of itchy eyes and asphyxiation. HiCan - The Never Leave Your Bed Bed. Italian in both slick aesthetics and siesta-time concept, I exaggerate not when I say the HiCan high fidelity canopy bed will persuade its occupants never to leave its ultra-modern, four-poster confines. HiCan designer Edoardo Carlino, in cooperation with Hi-Interiors, wanted to establish a new relationship between humans and the space where they spend about a third of their lives.
By funneling state-of-the-art technology into a bed already designed for supreme comfort and relaxation, HiCan honchos hope to decrease stress and anxiety, and introduce your home to the ultimate illustration of immediate proximity. For 55, $1,000 bills, the HiCan bed will render obsolete your need for additional pieces of furniture and clothing other than pajamas. Some of its more impressive features include: Titanium Utility Ring. The next generation of bottle opener rings settles into a titanium home. With roommates. Designer Bruce Boone has thrown ultra-sharp twins Straight Blade and Serrated Blade, wily bad boy, Saw, and ...yahtzee!...
The dapper Mr. Mustache Comb into the mix for what surely has the makings for the next big multi-tool Real World. Crafted from aircraft-grade titanium, the utility ring's implements unfold Swiss Army-style from a brushed finish casing. Width is a standard 9mm, though ring sizing is customized to the buyer's finger. Shut Up And Take My Money - Cool Gadgets and Geeky Products. Meteorite Ring with Dinosaur Bone and 14K Yellow von jewelrybyjohan. Zero Gravity Chairs. Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow. Dress Pant Sweatpants. Good Morning Sir Alarm Clock. It appears to be morning. Frightfully inconvenient, I know, Sir. How you begin your day can dictate the pace of the remainder of the day. If, for example, you wake to a ear-shattering buzzing, your whole body will tense. Your teeth will grind, and you'll be more likely to bite the heads off of your coworkers than treat them well. Your impatience with the day could continue, leading to simple mistakes, and your overreaction to criticism of your errors could very well end in violence, tears, and inevitably, a visit with the local magistrate.Luckily, we've discovered a delightfully new way to become awake and alert without the unpleasantness of artificial electronic buzzing.

This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die | Design for Good. You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be).
However, the product designer Gerard Moline has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition. His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow.
You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer. I, personally, would much rather leave behind a tree than a tombstone. Related Content If You Liked the 'Bios Urn,' You'll Love 'The Spirit Tree' Daniel Honan Managing Editor, Big Think.
