The Keybag is a Bag Made From….You Guessed It.. Keys


As far as geeky fashion accessories, it doesn’t get much geekier than a bag made completely out of keys from your computer keyboard. The Keybag has 393 keys (yes I counted) randomly arranged. It’s available in four different colors including pink for a bit under $200.

Crystal Encrusted Vacuum Cleaner is World’s Most Expensive



Electrolux has introduced the Guinness certified world’s most expensive vacuum cleaner, adorned with 3,730 Swarovski crystals. Created by Polish designer Lukaz Jemiol, the made-to-order vacuum costs nearly $20,000.
So go ahead, the economy is on the upswing, why not splurge on a slightly pricey vacuum. Of course the vacuum ignores one major issue- the fact that anyone who could afford a $20,000 vacuum cleaner definitely has hired help to do the cleaning and probably could care less about what their vacuum looks like. Or maybe they do care, what do I know?

Spockmonkey is a Spock Sock Monkey


Holy Vulcan A! It’s a sock monkey in the form of Spock. At last the worlds of sock monkey aficionados and Star Trek enthusiasts meet in one super adorable world or plushness. Each $46 Spock monkey ships with a free Tribble. If you don’t know what a Tribble is, don’t worry about it, since it’s unlikely you’re in the market for a $46 Star Trek sock monkey anyway. If you do know what a Tribble is- holy cow! A free Tribble. (Not pictured). Also available in Capt. Kirk. Cute.

Chair Necklace Doesn’t Look Particularly Comfortable


No that’s not an array of chairs lying down in a circle, it’s a chair necklace (although if you really did want to get technical it IS an array of chairs lying in a circle). It doesn’t look particularly comfortable to wear but since I don’t wear necklaces I can’t really vouch for that. I guess if you’re a really big fan of chairs (and really who isn’t these days?) you’d want to show the world what you love at all times. Interesting jewelry piece.

Working Piano Stairs Attract Attention

The video above shows what happens when a staircase is converted into a working piano where each step is a different piano key that makes a sound when you step on it. Surprisingly stair usage (compared to the usage of the escalator right next to the flight of stairs) increased significantly- by two thirds. Here in NYC, we use another method to get people to use the stairs in the subway- just leave the escalators sitting there broken (or entomb them in a box instead of fixing them, lol Union Square).
