So, for nearly 3 months now Johnathan Vatner an editor from Oprah at Home magazine has been leading me on saying that they would like to feature my apartment even going so far as saying, “we love it!” However just today I received this message from him via email:

“Hey Eric — We FINALLY had [...]

You too can look like a crazy genius.

I was just in Seattle this weekend and was reminded of how cool this mirror was when I saw it in one of the shops down town. (The store is called Ornamo, but they don’t have an online store–but do stop by if you’re in the area.)

The mirror is large in scale (35h x 12w x 10″d) and generally just really cool. It’s on sale now at Moma.

“Bring this nearly three-foot high version of the familiar rearview car mirror indoors. Wall mount and adjust by rotating 360 degrees, lowering or angling towards the wall to display your desired reflection. Made of a black injection-molded ABS frame with glass and anodized aluminum.”

We’ve seen wind turbines fit for backyards, balconies, even oceans- and now now pioneering wind-power engineers are looking to take wind turbines to new heights—15,000-30,000 feet in the air! Harvesting just 1% of the energy from jet-stream winds could produce enough power for everybody on the planet! Sky WindPower and Magenn Power are [...]

Regular readers of Inhabitat will know that we don’t often get into our personal lives here on this site – but when sustainability news overlaps with family ties, we feel that its our duty to step up and announce to the world. On that note, I am very excited to announce that my sister [...]

These sound like a very smart buy for all of you laptop owners. And quite affordable, might I add…

“Cool feet are 4 small ‘feet’ with suction cups at the end. Or actually, they are suction cups in the size of small ‘feet’ that attach to the bottom of your laptop, allowing the heat to be dispersed properly. Why is that smart you might ask? Well for starters angled keyboards are more ergonomic than a flat one and a raised laptop protects your furniture from any heat damage… But the kicker is that when laptops release their excess heat, they become faster! And isn’t speed something we all want in our machines?”
