As you've probably noticed, we like to recommend eco-friendly products when we can. These Keyhole Tables ($150 each) are made of reclaimed teak, which is fine by us — it gives them an unusual color and texture that help them to stand out. Add to their looks the versatility of being able to serve as a pedestal, side table, or... [More]
We've long recommended replacement keyboards for Apple's desktops, but that changes today, as Apple rolled out new Wired and Wireless Aluminum Keyboards ($50-$70). The new 'boards offer low-profile keys like those found on the company's MacBook laptop, new dedicated function keys, and an incredibly thin design. Whether you need the numeric pad found on the wired version, or prefer the... [More]

Like a lot of good ideas, the Brush & Rinse Toothbrush ($3) is one of those products that makes you wonder why no one has thought of it before.

Apathy and Other Small Victories ($12) is the debut novel of Paul Neilan, an author that we'll be keeping on our watch list. We've been enjoying dark comedy pulp novels lately (such as Company) and Apathy fit right into the groove. We started laughing at page one and the fun didn't stop until about 6 hours later when it was... [More]
The idea of sofas doubling as beds is certainly nothing new, but the simplicity of this design and the myriad of available colors sucked us right in.

When looking for modern furniture, we often come across pieces with stark looks and clean lines, but very little attitude. The Chomossomo J Buffet ($4000) doesn't suffer from that affliction — it has an excellent clean form with geometric shapes on the front to keep things interesting. It may be expensive, but if you use your long, low cabinet as... [More]
The Exploded Turntable T-Shirt from Oddica ($20) features great front and back turnable schematic designs on a black American Apparel tee. The shirt is super cool, but the best part of getting a tee from Oddica is the great packaging and goodies that come with it — postcards, stickers, backpack button, and a collectible library card....

We hate having water on our bathroom floor, but hate having a towel or not-so-sweet rug on the floor even worse. We were delighted then when we saw the Teak Bath Mat ($70). It's made of reclaimed teak so it helps protect what we have left of this endangered wood, and it features a maze-design slat on the top to... [More]

We're not claiming to be big fans of the former U.S.S.R., but we do find this tee immortalizing the first man in space too good to pass up. The Yuri Gagarin Tee from Robata ($10) features an intricate design in gold and Russian red on a sand colored shirt. In the center, you can find an illustration of the Vostok... [More]
We've been fans of Mimobots for some time now, and anytime that you take something that's already cool and add Star Wars licensing, it only gets better. The Darth Vader Mimobot USB Flash Drive ($80-$170; Jan. 07) is available for pre-order now in one of three capacities (1GB, 2GB, and 4GB) and is only the first in a series of... [More]
