Aviva shower station

Do you know that waking up on the right side of the bed forecasts a good day? Don’t let anything ruin your day, especially when that day is your single day off. You still don’t have no idea what am I talking about, don’t you? It is about your morning shower ritual that may often go totally wrong and spoil the whole day. It is about those unreachable shampoo bottles and shower lotions that fall from the shelves over your head.

Top 10 Gadgets #1. Apple iPhone


The iPhone changed the way we think about how mobile media devices should look, feel and perform. The design is exceptional inside and out: It’s got a slick glass-and-stainless steel case and an elegant touch screen loaded with eye candy. It’s an iPod and a 2-megapixel camera. Images and video clips display vertically or horizontally — they reorient themselves depending on how you hold the thing. When the phone detects a wireless network within range — your own home wi-fi set up or somebody else’s — it lets you tap once to connect, and then proceed with your Web surfing, Google mapping, emailing and other activities that can otherwise be painfully slow over AT&T’s cellular network — the only one, unfortunately, that carries iPhone calls.

I Want: Dangerous House Keeps You Young

crazy-house-1.jpg

The Lifespan Extending Villa is a house designed by artists Madeline Gins (!) and Arakawa. It was built in the East Hamptons, and cost about $2 million to complete. It looks like a giant playground, and I want it. The idea is that constantly being on guard against falling serves as a secret fountain of youth.

In addition to the floor, which threatens to send the un-sure-footed hurtling into the sunken kitchen at the center of the house, the design features walls painted, somewhat disorientingly, in about 40 colors; multiple levels meant to induce the sensation of being in two spaces at once; windows at varying heights; oddly angled light switches and outlets; and an open flow of traffic, unhindered by interior doors or their adjunct, privacy.

All of it is meant to keep the occupants on guard. Comfort, the thinking goes, is a precursor to death; the house is meant to lead its users into a perpetually “tentative” relationship with their surroundings, and thereby keep them young.

Man that is so awesome. I’ve always wanted to live in a treehouse with rope swings and cargo nets and all that good shit, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. Besides, the house makes you live longer. You just trip over a floor nipple, beat your face into something hard, and presto, you’re freaking Methuselah. Simple as that.
