According to my wife good furniture that fits your unique style and taste is hard to find. The Italian designed Modi Sofa may make things easier. Sort of like Lego, it allows for nearly infinite customization, using modules which you insert in the base to form different shapes and styles of sofas.

There are flat modules, back or arm rest modules, corner pieces, etc. They all fit neatly into the grid base. Finally, you can make your sofa how you want it. They even have a glass top to make an end table or coffee table if you like. Pretty neat. All furniture should be modular.

Remember Panasonic‘s in-dash Blu-Ray players? They’ve officially announced the CY-BB1000D and also the HX-3000D, which is an HD standard DVD player for your car. The Blu-ray player features a 7-inch display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution and an HDMI input as well as Bonus View content compatibility. That one is due to arrive on September 10th in Japan for about $1,060.

The HX-3000D features an SD card slot, 50W audio, DVD drive, 5.1 channel audio support, an 80GB hard drive and a USB cable. That one will be available on the same date in Japan for about $3,874.

Surely with this technological breakthrough, humanity has finally reached the pinnacle of a new and great scientific age. For years man has struggled with wiping his butt in darkness. But no more. Glow In The Dark Toilet Paper has arrived. Surely it is reverse engineered alien technology.

No longer will power outages stop you from doing your business. You’ll see that glowing roll of tp shining like a beacon. Other ways this will improve humanity: People with tp attached to their shoe get ten times funnier, and tp’ing someones house is now more spectacular at night.

I have no idea why you would want to smell like Justine Timberlake thinks you should smell, but his “Play” cologne for Givenchy tries to take advantage of your love for gadgets by mimicking am MP3 player. The bottle was designed by Serge Mansau, who has created bottles for other Givenchy fragrances.

It features Play/Rewind/Forward touch buttons, but it’s all a fake. Rest assured that you will repel girls with your pop star smell and the poorly designed bottle is not even worth bragging about to your friends, who will dwindle in numbers as they each seek to escape the scented cloud of funk that is you.

The stethoscope is one of those doctor’s tools that has remained unchanged forever, but now the 3M Littman Electronic Stethoscope will do more for doctors and help them to better diagnose various health conditions. Some features include noise cancellation and sound augmenting, so they can hear better.

The device also has the ability to record heart and lung sounds and file them so that they can be checked later by software like Zargis Stethassist to understand any beating patterns and irregularities.

In a society that lives inside of their computers, it makes sense to incorporate some online features into our daily lives. Or maybe I’m just taking something that’s extremely geeky and trying to justify it. This concept from Mint Pass takes the familiar progress bar and turns it into a clock or timeline.

The orange tabs are labels that mark events for the current day. Just clip it onto the proper time and it’s there as a reminder. It’s a prototype and not for sale yet, but this one may have a chance at hitting the consumer market. The clock is equipped with 24 alarms that you can configure to sound at whichever time of day those tabs are placed.

Usually I see a good steampunk designed gadget and I want it. On this one I think I’ll pass. But if you are a member of the Addams family or the Munsters, this may be your ideal point and click device. Even the mouse made from real mouse parts wasn’t this creepy.

This morbid monstrosity of a mouse was created by steampunk artist Ivan Mavrovic. On his site, he says, “”the sheep dyed naturall death”. Well that may be somewhat comforting for the sheep, I don’t want to push this one around all day. Makes me feel sheepish.

We’ve seen our share of custom iPhone docks, but this one takes a minimalist engineering approach. The Nuts and Bolts dock is built from… Well, nuts and a large bolt. The connector is attached to a piece of perspex which holds the iPhone in place.

It was created by one Frederick P Weller and we have to reluctantly admit that we like his approach. Very machine age and industrial looking. And obviously easy to make should you want to try your hand at it. Assuming you have the nuts to pull it off. Oh and the long bolt.

Solid Alliance has announced a USB memory stick that’s designed to look like a T-600 Terminator skull from Terminator 4 – Salvation. The USB cyborg skull holds 2GB of storage, weighs 42g and supports Windows XP/Vista and MacOS 10.2 and up. The eyes of the T600 are rhinestones from who else? Swarovski.

Cool as it is, the skull will cost you $150. It’s available in Japan right now. If you absolutely need to have it, you might want to contact Geekstuff4u or Japan Trend Shop.

AOC has dropped another affordable and eco-friendly LCD monitor that meets EPEAT Gold standards. The AOC 2436Vw 24-inch LCD monitor supports a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and features 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time, and 300 cd/m2 brightness. The 1080p screen consumes less than 49W of power.

It also comes with several simple connectivity ports, which include VGA, DVI and USB. Who says it isn’t easy being green? The AOC 2436Vw is priced at $220 and is already shipping.

Here’s a nasty looking PC case mod. I don’t know whether to admire it or run in fear while I still have my limbs. Apparently it was created by a Russian modder who was inspired by Doom 3. You have to love the detail work, right down to the blood on the chainsaw.

It’s much more than just Doom 3-style yellow paint on the exterior. Inside you’ll find an AMD64 Sempron 2600 + CPU, Geforce 6600GT graphics card and ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 drive. Not that you can take your eyes off of the chainsaw.

Casio’s EX-Z33 digital camera is an entry-level 10.1-megapixel shooter that comes with all of the typical features you would expect out of such a camera from Casio these days, like a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5″ widescreen LCD display, Automatic face recognition, Best Shot function and an Auto Shutter mode.

If your heart is set on capturing videos for YouTube, this camera features a YouTube Capture Mode that lets you save your movies at YouTube-friendly settings, making uploading easier with no conversion.

It’s that time of the week again, dear human readers, where we take a gander at the monstrosities that man creates. We covered a wide variety of robots this week over at Botropolis. Some toys,some robots in movies, some real life ancestors of the Terminator, even some Michael Jackson robot news. Here’s some of what we covered.

DARPA: World’s First Free-Flying Nano Bot.

Cyborgs: Brain-Machine Interfaces.

Robot Prostitutes: It’s The Future.

Movies: War Of The Worlds: Goliath Trailer.

This suped-up red Xbox 360 looks like a hot rod. There isn’t much info about it, but the bright red case and the two canisters on the side make the console look like it is about to take off. Looks like it has some cooling pipes too, that might separate during takeoff.

The fire engine red color just adds to the cool factor and I almost want to see flames painted on it. Or a fire hose attached. One thing is for sure, it is pretty.

Wal-Mart is recalling about 1.5 million Durabrand DVD players because of a potential for the device to simply burst into flames and ruin your day. Wal-Mart received 12 complaints about the DVD players overheating and in five of those cases, the overheating resulted in a fire that damaged property.

That’s not the kind of movie night you want right? Even if you were watching Backdraft. The DVD player in question is imported from China and sold at Wal-Mart stores from January 2006 through July 2009 for $29. The DVD player came with a remote and is silver with a U-shaped opening at the top to insert the DVD. If you spot this culprit in your home, call Wal-Mart immediately.
