I’m sure in between performances, the Blue Man Group uses one of these funky sweater dryers to dry out their sweat-encrusted clothing. Afterward, it’s taken onto the stage and used as a performance piece. Anyways, using this weird tray and fan system, the sweater dryer will apparently dry clothing 75% faster than hang drying and it won’t shrink your clothing as much as a dryer. At $30, it’s worth taking a gamble on. Just don’t let your friends catch you with this thing or your credibility as a “hip dude” is shot.

We came across an interesting display of posters and t-shirts from artist and designer Ray Lam at Iteetoo.com. Ray is inspired by electronic devices and creation and has started reflecting it in some fascinating art he’s designed himself. He has even taken bits and pieces from his abstract art posters and made some clever t-shirt decals for geeks and hackers alike. We are very impressed with his quirky approach towards the fusion of sci-fi and zen.

Victor Vetterlein has designed a vision of what conceptual homes of the future will look like. I am easily reminded of the bizarre looking “arcologies” you could build in SimCity 2000. Dubbed “Reboot,” the futuristic living-space is supposed to be a self-sufficient and environment friendly take on everyday living.

Everything about its interior is digitally controlled and designed to be operated by voice activated sensors, touch pad and remote controls a la mobile phone or computer. Anyone old enough to read this will probably never live to see a house like this in which they could afford, but one can dream.
