Much like the Hidden Bookshelf, the Flybrary book shelf goes light on the “shelf” and heavy on the “book”. Literally turning the hidden bookshelf on it’s side, the Flybrary is probably better suited to be positioned closer to your floor.
The Flybrary can fit roughly a dozen books and can cure cancer.

Now you can buy giant Justin Long’s headphones!
September 24, 2008 – 8:36 pm
Personally, CW hates those uncomfortable white earbuds that Apple packs with its mp3 players. But when the ubiquitous earphones are redesigned in oversized speaker form? Now you have my attention.
The speakers measure 7″ long and 4″ in diameter, and can be powered either by batteries or through a PC connection.

I’ve been falling for the past 4 hours

If getting your pilot license just isn’t working out the way you planned, channel your apartment’s inner Google Maps with the Hello Down There! rug. The rug is a satellite photo of a city (though CW can’t seem to figure out what one) and if CW owned the Empire State Building, I would put this [...]
The best time you have ever had installing bathroom tiles
September 19, 2008 – 4:28 pm

Tetris Tiles come in over 180 colors, and the price is upon request.

Forget science fiction and make up for all those refrigerators you have thrown out in years past and show some sympathy for our machine friends. Broken Heart Robot measures 6 inches high and three inches [...]
Then stop at the Twitter station. What? It’s closed, you say?

Interface design firm Information Architects has taken the Web’s most influential sites, services, and companies and placed them on a Tokyo subway map. The result is a beautiful visualization of the chaos that is the World Wide Web. Each “stop” is not randomly placed, as IA has taken great care to place the [...]
If you’re an OS X user, just erase the “my” part
September 16, 2008 – 1:56 pm
CW can’t decide whether rocking this awesome laptop case makes you ironic or geeky. Regardless, ThinkGeek’s MyDocument laptop case is damn cool.
The bag can hold up to a 15.4 inch laptop and comes with a sweet cursor pin to tack on to the outside of the bag.

The only glass that gives you class. Huzzah!
September 15, 2008 – 10:37 am
It’s a scientific fat that 99% of all dishware is boring*. It’s also common knowledge that people with mustaches look smarter and play better baseball. Hit two birds with one stone with the mustache glass.
The glass allows you to live the dream one sip at a time by holding 16 oz. of liquid, and unlimited [...]

If you just moved into a new place and funds are too low for fancy lamps, the Bulbcap may be an economical way to take your pad out of the Dark Ages.
Made of rubber, these caps can fit snugly over any light bulb to cast your chosen room in one of 6 colors. Be warned [...]
I want this on a utility belt
September 11, 2008 – 5:32 pm
Hey lady. Oh what’s that? It’s just my condom dispenser. Yeah, it allows me to access condoms at an alarming rate.
Now be quiet, my mom has work in the morning.

Spider lamp: does whatever a spider lamp can
September 8, 2008 – 11:42 am
In the spirit of celebrating holidays obnoxiously early, allow CW to present this creepy twitching spider for your Halloween decorations.
This 36-inch spider lamp rests on your floor and slowly twitches and moves just subtly enough to send any arachnophobes you may know running in panic. As an added bonus, each leg contains a row [...]
So, um, where do I put these huge papers?
September 5, 2008 – 1:26 pm
Here at CW we love all things obnoxiously oversized.
So if you have our love for large pieces of furniture, and are a lover of office supplies (and who isn’t?) spruce up your closet and coat rack with these paperclip hangers.
