If you thought your premium mouse had a lot of buttons, check out the Glide Keyboard from Weston Boege. Resting on low friction pads, the keyboard slides around your desk picking up the movement through an optical sensor mounted underneath. The keyboard also integrates traditional mousing controls into the moulded palm rest that grips your hands as they move. Can’t say it’s a bad idea, although I can see having trouble typing when half the keys are fused together.

Six Piece Coat-Hanger Dinner

Posted: 30 Oct 2008 03:30 AM CDT

Break it down, pack it up, take it out, put it up. Easy to store, easy to construct and deconstruct. Coat hanger for those who love a good simple on-the-go hanger system that’s nice to peek at too. And with a name like “Saturn”, you know it’s… a midsize car? What- No way! But it holds like 3 or more coats, totally.

Designer Barber Osgerby hangs it up:

A coatstand made from six identical interlocking arcs, joined centrally. The components are manufactured in solid timber. Manufactured by ClassiCon.

Repetition Works, as our Pop-Art friends would say.

HOT HOT HOSE! no, not Britney & Paris

Designers have been tackling radiator design alternatives almost as long as designers have been tackling radiator design alternatives. The fact is; the traditional radiator is simply not attractive and has a bit of a bad attitude (all that hissing and whining). The “Ciussai Radiator” gives a new twist in home heating. Ingenious in its simplicity, this design can be wrapped around a pole, shoved under a mattress, suspended from a nail or draped across the floor. It would not make a good party hat. I tried…owie.
