The Climbing Light, which is a lamp that screws onto your wall and looks like a large bug, has a silver top (where the bug's head is supposed to be, of course) that makes the light shine downward from there. So, I suppose you'll want to make sure you carefully select the placement - since you're screwing up your walls to install it.<p><p><center><p><img src="images/articles/climbing-light.jpg"><p></center><p><p>It's an interesting idea, I suppose, and I'm sure it will spark (no pun intended) more ideas from lights of similar styles. For the country living folks, I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be hanging in their homes, but if you're batchin' it and have a hip-happenin' crib, then this is probably something you could splurge the $45 to get. <p><p>Via: [<a href="http://www.gizmodo.com" target="_New">Gizmodo</a>] Mon, 30 Mar 2005 10:34 EST Appliances http://www.manoogian.net/blog/blogx/ViewItem.asp?Entry=171 http://www.manoogian.net/blog/blogx/Comments.asp?Entry=171 <center><p><img src="images/articles/sharpoven.jpg"><p></center><p><p>The <a href="http://www.sharpusa.com/" target="_New">Sharp </a>electronics company is getting ready to debut their new Healsio Water Oven. The oven is designed to super-heat steam to 300 degrees Celsius (that's like 720 degrees Farenheit!) and spraying it on the food to roast it. It can, apparently, squeeze out excess fat and salt, while preserving vitamin C in foods such as vegatables.<p><p>The expected retail price is $1100.00.<p>
