ms_surfaceYour other half wants you to get a new coffee table.

Boooh!

But then you realise what has just been released to buy in the UK.

Hoorah!!

The Microsoft Surface has now been officially launched in the UK, as well as in 11 other European markets.

Just don’t tell that partner of yours that the account and credit card will be practically £10,000 lighter!

As well as being able to support your beverages and TV dinners you’ll also have access to a touchscreen computer as you watch the tele and dunk biscuits into your brew.

Microsoft obviously expect the Surface will become the central ‘hub’ of the main space in your home as it will be able to interact with a number of people simultaneously.

Imagine all sat around and being able to reach over for a hob-nob and then ‘grab’ digital information from the screen -  music, media or film.

You can even update your mobile phone or MP3 player simply by placing it on the ‘table’.

And then there’s the fact that board games will never be boring!

OK, so the £10,000 asking price may slow down any impulse buys.

Apparently the big M has received an ‘overwhelming response from companies worldwide’ following the first unveiling of the Surface.

So, I’m guessing that means that you’ll be seeing a bunch of these techno-tables hitting the high street just like those in Inamo.

So, this coffee table……………

Styrofoam Is Where The Heart Is

Styrofoam homes.

Now, that’s not bringing to me visions of a safe habitiat for me and mine.

Japan Dome House Co., Ltd. thinks they’re the future!

Constructed of 7-inch-thick 100% expanded polystyrene foam modules, the company says that they don’t have the maintenance problems of wood or metal structures, and they are “highly resistant” to earthquakes, fires, and typhoons.

Gotta admit tho; there’s a definite Mos Eisley vibe about the 480 domes at Aso Farm Land resort village in Kyushu.

They do, however, look quite comfy and roomy inside :0)

Nope – the table isn’t on fire and that’s not a burning waste paper basket.

Fanola, the company says, is a biologically clean product which [...]

City Living – Matroshka Style

March 11, 2008 Click to read more →

I live in London – not in the smallest flat in the world but also not exactly the largest.
To all my friends that live in studio apartments or indeed house-shares the Matroshka living concept may be a huge boon – the ideas could also help us luckily enough to have slightly more space make better [...]
