The ChairDesk 2 addon comes with a metal arm support that connects directly to the main stem of an office chair. After this awesome combination, a chair cum desk combo is thus born. With a swinging hinge that comes with the small table attachment, one can use the office chair like usual or if a table is desired, simply swing it up like the chairs we often see around in schools and lecture halls.

Here’s one wireless mouse that is not only capable of running on conventional power from the power supply, but is also capable of running on a renewable energy source and that’s solar power.
For wireless mice, a great hassle has to be when the power runs out and there’s no convenient way to keep it charged as compared to a wired mouse. This solar wireless mouse, while its main feature is the ability to be powered by solar energy, it will most probably be a form complimentary source of power for this solar computer mouse.
Since the mouse uses wireless means for data transfer and a optical laser sensor for tracking, we would expect its consumption to be quite significant. In addition, a regular computer user will usually use the mouse when it’s bright, covering the solar cells in the process; leaving it to rest at night when sleeping.
However for one who is eco-minded, there will be plenty of opportunities for this computer mouse to get nice sunbathing sessions regularly to keep it charged, greatly reducing the number of times needed for the mouse to change to a fresh battery.
Features:
Using 2.4GHz two-way wireless frequency technology, super anti-interference technology
AVAGO high speed laser engine, effect the high speed precise position
Built-in DPI button, switch between 1,000 ~ 1,600dpi easily
Built-in On/Off switch
Powered by Solar Energy or 1 x AAA Battery (Battery is included.)
Support Window 7 / Vista / XP, Mac, Linux
Dimension: 108 x 53 x 25mm (approx.)
Weight: 74g
The solar wireless optical mouse is available in two colors, white and grey and retails for $36 from Brando USB.
Tokyo Sky Tree is the latest and tallest attraction in Japan, a free-standing tower hailing at 634 meters tall which has just opened recently. Here’s something that commemorates the official opening of the tower, a coin bank that lets you store spare change.
The special part about this tower is that it has made in such a way that if only 100 yen coins is used to fill the Sky Tree coin bank, exactly 634 coins would fit inside, which will remind people about the height of the tower, which makes it the current tallest tower in the world.
A nice model of this architectural wonder which serves as a nice decoration and a useful coin bank. Surely when the coin bank is full it will help out for that nice little trip to Tokyo for viewing the Tokyo Sky Tree in person.

Need to charge your gadgets urgently with no power outlets and external batteries available? Use your arm power then. That is possible with this USB hand-cranked external battery charger from Sony. Not only can you do a part for the environment by not drawing any power from the grid, you can also work off some of that extra energy.
This external battery cum USB charger is by no means a first of its kind, but from a brand like Sony it should come with a standard of quality assurance. This particular model, the Sony CP-A2LAS USB charger comes with 4,000mAh worth of battery capacity, so on average it’ll be able charge a smartphone twice on a full charge.
However, turning kinetic energy into electrical energy using human power isn’t really that efficient though. Three minutes worth of cranking on this external USB charger will provide only one minute of talk-time. Too little on average, but good enough for an urgent or emergency phone call especially during a crisis such as a natural disaster where power has been cut off.
Besides the hand-cranked function, the CP-A2LAS can also be charged-up using the usual method of plugging it into an electrical outlet, thereby making it suitable for everyday use as well in addition to its ability to serve as a means of backup power.
The Sony CP-A2LAS hand-cranked USB charger is slated for a 20 June 2012 release in Japan at a price of about 8,000 yen.
Here’s a set of cutlery called Dine Ink Pens that are not only cutlery you can use to eat with, but also serve as ball-point pens.

The pen caps come with the three essential cutlery built on them, namely the knife, fork and spoon.

A good set of multipurpose pens to keep on the desk or in the bag as a backup, just in case you find yourself with some food but no fork or spoon to eat with outdoors.

Here’s one iPhone case that not only keeps your iPhone from tiny bumps and scratches, but also keeps your screen clean. The slightly larger case comes with a screen cleaning wiper and also a compartment where you can store a set of earphones when they’re not in use.
The Ö case designed by Löytö Esineiden comes in a size which is longer than the iPhone 4. The slightly larger case allows for a compartment where one can keep a set of earphones safely. If you’re an audiophile, then it’s pretty important to keep a pair of iems which can cost a few hundred dollars safe, which can be done with this case. While the earphone cords can be wound around the iPhone like usual, the individual ear-bud cords can be slotted into slots of the casing to be kept safelyu inside.
Built onto the case, the extra attachment which doubles up as the lid is the screen wiper. When the screen of the iPhone is dirty, the lid can simply be popped off and be used for wiping the screen. A fluid motion of popping the lid off, swiping it up and back down, and popping it back into place not only gets the screen clean, and definitely one wouldn’t have to look clumsy trying to clean the iPhone on their skirt or trouser fabric.
A pretty good-looking and multi-purpose iPhone casing concept. A bonus and additional feature is that the compartment’s size is also big enough to house the charging dock within, making the iPhone look sleek even when plugged in.
