Glider Mouse

What is it, you ask? It's a mouse of course -- the new Hela's Glider Mouse which looks so peculiar because it's designed ergonomically.

The central mouse position gives you an optimal working posture and suppossedly eliminates the "painful motion of repeatedly having to reach out for the mouse next to the keyboard." It works with both standard and small size keyboards and laptops, and is good for righties or lefties. The "glider" moves effortlessly across the pad, and even though the "advanced user" can configure the mouse using 12 switches for customized programming, it doesn't require any extra drivers or software.

At �150 , it's still cheaper than computer claw. Buy at Helga Co..

Ouch, you just made me reach for the mouse!

Droog show at the musuem of arts & design

Thirteen years after its inception, the Dutch design collective Droog has organized a show of its innovation work which has arrived at New York's Museum of Arts & Design, after making its way through Europe.

Founded by Gijs Bakker and Renny Ramakers, Droog collaborates with a diverse body of designers to create masterful products, such as their famous Milk Bottle Lamps, using low-cost industrial, as well as recycled, materials. The results are simple products made with environmentally sound principles. The show entitled "Simply Droog" presents furniture, lighting, household items, from Droog's collection of projects.

The Milk Bottle Lamp can be purchased at Plushpod for $139.

Simply Droog runs from September 21, 2006 through January 14, 2007.

LEVertigo vertical laptop bag

I recently switched to a laptop bag that holds my laptop in a vertical position rather than the more common horizontal position, and I swear it's much more comfortable, though I have no idea why. Lately, I've seen more vertical bags on the market, like this LEVertigo bag from Be.ez (manufacturer of multimedia accessories in Europe and Asia). A few new colors have recently been added to this collection, like this "Kakee" one. It fits laptops up to 15.4". I love the bright interior color and the large front opening -- I imagine both features are designed with visibility and easy access in mind. Unfortunately, it appears that there are no distributors yet in the U.S.

Dog Sleeping Bag

This doggie sleeping bag provides pooches with a reversible training blanket (pee-resistant, in other words) and a cozy inside for burrowing into. Most importantly, it gives them their own blankie for sleepovers, visits to the kennel, your parents', or just a sleep-over party with the neighborhood pups.

Ventilation holes improve air circulation, and it can unzip to lie flat, with that lovely recognizable scent of home, dander, and dog hair mixed in with the aromas of past bones. Yummy.

When not in use, the bag rolls up for easy storage and transportation. Also available in pink.
Awwww....
