Now that’s relaxing in style!
Relaxing in your landscaped gardens with a cup of coffee and loved ones can be therapeutic when you are stressed out. Gazebos are a thing of past as garden loungers take over to create cozy spaces. If you are looking for one, check out the Rotating Sphere Lounger and see if you like it. The lounger which is 2.4 m in diameter looks like a nested globe with slots to offer you a peek into your green landscape when you need to. The sections are made of pressure-treated pine laminates and polycarbonate goes into the making of slotted windows. Inside the cocooned space is a metallic table and built-in padded seating to make you comfortable. Cost? £6,850.

House of the Future is no longer a thing of the past!
February 13, 2008
Still looks pretty 70’s ish
The house of the future very quickly became a part of the forgotten past at the land of fun, joy and of course cartoons. But now Disney is bringing back the lost future as it plans to open a new and revamped ‘House of the Future’. So if you get to be in state of California this summer, then get ready to go on a journey in to the future courtesy of Walt Disney. The house is not just going to be a rehashed version of the old one, which barely lasted a decade, but will be brand new with gadgets that are aimed at startling you. The first House of the Future at Disneyland lasted from 1957 until 1967 and it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the technology inside the house quickly became the present than the future. The house was soon closed as it was obviously no longer the house that took you on a trip in to the future. It was Monsanto, which originally sponsored the first House of the Future and this time it will be software giants like Microsoft and HP along with LifeWare that sponsor the home. The new House of the Future would not just furnish the best in modern day gadgets but goes well beyond that.

Barry’s Farm Robot Laptop Sleeve
November 10, 2007
I found a selection of adorable laptop sleeves from Barry’s Farm a few weeks ago and PetSugar actually purchased one with an “awww” worthy hedgehog print, prompting jealousy from all the gals in the office. I’ll admit though, the designs I showed you were a tad girlie and a few male readers emailed asking if the company has anything for those with more masculine tastes. Boy do they ever! The Barry’s Farm Robot Laptop Sleeve, $40, features a cute robotic figure and customizable phrases like “Zorp!” on it.
