Somebody like me who spends most of the time sitting upright before the workstation definitely deserve something as comfortable and ergonomically designed workstation as the Surf Chair workstation that gives me the perfect posture to work keeping my back in the right shape.
Designed by Kenneth Lylover, the Surf Chair has everything that a geek can only dream of to have a pain free Internet surfing. Conjured particularly keepingin mind the ‘Internet Collection’ of the Scandinavian Furniture Fair the Surf Chair features pillows fixed at various points in the seat and back to ensure a comfy surfing, while the screen is suspended at precisely the right angle in accordance to your back and neck.
The only drawback that I could find was that due to the unavailability of space, the keyboard is supposed to be kept on the lap by the user. No wonders it managed to beg the ‘Best Product’ award in the fair and is worthy enough to be tagged as a luxury gadget for a luxury loving geek.

Bagatelle Concrete: A Pinball Machine That Plays Music
By Andrew | May 14, 2008
Majority of us happen to relate retro with nostalgia. History states before consoles came in; pinball machines were the only solution for entertainment. I am sure you must have come across gamut of pinball machines till date but the Bagatelle Concrete only one-of-its-kind. If you don’t know, Bagatelle was an antecedent of modern pinball designed in France for King Louis XVI and it replicates a pointed billiard table. And now Martin Pichlmair in association with Viennese artiste and canvasser Fares Kayali has made efforts to turn this pinball machine from 70’s into a musical device.
With such a revolutionary creation, it is now possible to listen to your favorite track via a pinball machine. It mocks-up itself and exercises those samples on the center of your game play. The ornamental rudiments of the pinball game have been replaced with digital electronics and installed upon this analogue electro-mechanical machine. The core of the game remains technically untouched and all the buffers and traps are still in place. After all you play for music and not for high score.
The more radiantly you interrelate with the machine, the more intense the vinyl gets. Besides maintaining the coarseness of the electromechanical original game, it deals with integrating physical sounds happening on the playing field with manipulations of their demo. At present, there is no information about its availability but the minute it starts, it would have a gush of people inking deals with such masterwork.
