A levitating wirelessly powered light bulb!
"light bulb is a levitating yet powered light bulb. It will float stably in midair and remain on for years without any physical contact, charging, or batteries. Ironically, with the levitation and wireless power circuitry both on, this entire package still consumes less than half the power of an incandescent bulb. This is not a trick or a photoshop manipulation. The bulb and the casing contain hidden circuitry [shown in figures] that uses electromagnetic feedback to levitate the bulb roughly 2.5" from the nearest object, and uses coupled resonant wireless power transfer to beam power from the housing into the bulb itself."

More Frank Gehry Furiture
Frank Gehry is an amazing architect/designer. Duh.
As you can see, his furniture is pretty sweet, not that his architecture isn't sweet, but real humans can't buy that. You saw the Wiggle Chair, now see this. This furniture set was the Best of Show winner at Neocon in 2004 and you would think such a crative genius would come up with a pretty good name for his stuff, but you would be wrong. This set is called 'The Gehry Outdoor Collection'. The sofa is $1,200, the cube is $210, and the bench is $420. But get the whole set, it would be at least 3 times better.

Joe Pogan's Scrap Metal Masterpieces
Joe Pogan is an evil genius that turns out frankenstein fish and birds that he makes from 'found metals', and magic. He transforms trash into amazing pieces of art, and was recently featured on Fox news. Every piece is unique because each is handmade by fitting all sorts of stuff together then welding it in place. Common materials used are old watches, sprockets, wrenches, pliers, nuts and bolts, and even some old grenades and brass knuckles. It seems like he is getting better known by each day so get yours while they are still affordable!
