{title}Faux Reality Show - Roommates on MySpace
There's such a surge of wannabe reality show stars and starlets that there aren't enough spots available on TV to accommodate them, which is why some have taken their shot at fame into their own hands, starting their own reality shows on MySpace. Consider Roommates, a fake reality show on MySpace ab… 		Don't think much of the "Roommates" stuff, but I like the concept for more than MySpace.

{title}Recycled Map Envelopes - Learn Geography, Send Your Letter
If you are flipping through the pages of your Atlas and you find a few pages missing then we know just where you need to look. D!REKTRECYCLING has taken the approach to recycle pages from Atlases and other maps to make envelopes. While these maps may not help the postman to find out where you live… 		I'm pretty sure I've done this one before, but not to be green or trendy.

{title}Character Animation Evolved - GTA4's Euphoria Engine
Character animation is becoming more evolved than ever before, as proven by the latest teaser for Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4).

{title}Inflatable Solar Panels - SolarStore Helps Heat Your Water
Water heaters are one of the primary power-hungry devices in most households. That's why the prospect of an affordable solar panel system is particularly exciting. I have always argued that green energy alternatives must be affordable in order to be a viable choice by the masses. The inflatable Sol… 		As soon as this comes to market, I'll be one of the first to buy.

{title}Different Business Cards Each Day - Be the Change You Want to See
Why settle for a boring business card with one design when you can have a different look for each day of the year? With a slogan of "Be the change you want to see in the world", this limited edition Y.O.C Box contains 365 unique and surreal business cards, one for each day of the year. Each card is… 		These changing business cards may be novelty for individuals' personal use. But for anybody in business it would take strategic and extremely careful planning along with custom designs before this could be practical for business applications.

{title}Bleeding Paint Chairs - Anna ter Haar Designs
These brilliant chairs by Anna ter Haar simply demand admiration. The white chairs appear to be bleeding rainbows of wet paint, the fantastic hues dripping from holes drilled in the corners. The vibrant colours just pop, especially as photographed against the pure white background. This chair's g… 		Fabulous. Just enough color to make the bland artistic.

{title}Retro Magazine Purses - Momaboma's Paper Vintage Bags
Momaboma is an Italian company that creates really beautiful, retro, vintage bags. The bags are made out of paper from recycled glam magazines from the 1950's and 1960's and other material such as old vinyl records. The carefully-chosen paper is then processed with resin, polypropylene, vinyl and gl… 		A copy of the cover would have been sufficient to create this. Whatever $ value the mag had is lost.

{title}Glowing Walls 2 - OLED Wallpaper from GE
We've seen wallpaper that emits lights before, but it wasn't as captivating as the OLED wallpaper by General Electric! This opens up a whole new level of modern design, and by the looks of it, these stick on lights wouldn't be restricted to the walls, but could be applied to any flat surface, like a… 		Has a lot of value for the practical.

{title}Interactive Holograms - AirStrike
Holograms are an increasingly hot innovation in technology and design. Now we bring you the next step, interactive holograms that you can control and communicate with using hand gestures! Developed by LM3Labs, AirStrike opens the door to exciting applications in interactive advertising and novelty… 		I can see this advancing to a greater level of "interactivity" and moving from novelty to practical uses. Once again what was only seen in a sci-fi movie or TV show is now coming to life.

{title}Dead Stars in New Ads - Morrison, Joplin & Elvis in 'Vinyl Never Dies'
Fnac Stores play on the emotional 'music idols never die' to promote their new vinyl section by using vinyl records of three iconic musical legends, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin. The models pose behind the album sleeve in a way that makes it look like the dead star is actually posing… 		A ad plan that will always catch attention.

The Complex at the Centre of the Universe won first place in a competition run by CGSociety (Society of Digital Artists) and NVIDIA.

Dell CEO Michael Dell just introduced a never-seen-before Dell eco PC with a bamboo casing at the Fortune Green conference. Dell claims the environment friendly computer is 81 percent smaller than a standard desktop, and uses 70 percent less power. Not green enough for you? Well, it is also utili… 		Very attractive.

{title}You as Medieval Art - Old-Fashioned Portraits by Eyeworks
The middle ages have had a strong influence on fashion lately, with a lot of collection bearing medieval themes. However, the movement has gone beyond the catwalk and into the home. You can now have a giant, custom Medieval Portrait created for your living room. Eyeworks Photography is offering hi… 		This is something that could easily be franchised and have a wide appeal.

{title}Mushroom House - Zube's Whistler Toadstool
In July I saw an HGTV profile on a man who lived inside a mushroom in Canada on the show World's Most Extreme Homes. I wasn't able to get any names, making research difficult. Months later, I was finally was able to gather some information about this man who had actually made a home inside this as… 		Take that you deed restricted communities.

{title}Baby Fairy Tale - $15,000 Carriage Crib
We’ve seen the foldable crib for the nomad, and the bullet proof crib for 50 cent’s kids, but we haven’t really seen a crib that comes with a 3 year warranty and option of fairy godmother, Tinkerbelle or a regular nymph, that is until the carriage crib. Like something straight out of a Disney… 		It's a toy for mommy.

{title}Luxury For Your Princess - Designer Kids Rooms
Give your child the opportunity to sleep in the middle of a dream! Your daughter will simply adore this charming bedroom reminiscent of Cinderella's royal chamber. Her love and gratitude will be overwhelming when you decide to shell out the $47,000 it takes to make this fairytale dream come true! 		Adorable, but way too pricy when kids tastes change frequently.

{title}Real Magic Beanstalks - Plants Grows "I LOVE YOU" on Leaf
If you give your sweetheart a plant that can sprout a leaf that says, "I Love You", isn't that taking a big risk if the plant dies? Eh, not my problem. Some way, some how, this cute little beanstalk in a can will burst forth from the soil and search for the warming nourishing rays of the loving sun … 		That took some thought.

{title}Fairytale Sheets - Bedtime Stories Project
How cool is this? You can sleep UNDER your bed time story! These blankets from the Bedtime Stories Project have a cute story on them and consist of layers that you can peel off to reveal more layers of the tale. From what I can tell from the images, the story looks like it's of sleeping beauty. How… 		Great idea. If this could be customized, it would have an appeal to children and adults.

{title}Life-Size Fairy - Fantasy Statue
I ran across this item at Alibaba.com in the Gifts & Crafts > Sculptures > Fairies Fantasy Erotic Sexy Statues category. It is a life-size statue of a fairy (or perhaps larger-than-life; I'm not quite sure how big a fairy actually is). I always thought of fairies being small like Tinkerbell. Perhaps… 		Hmm.

{title}Alternative Art Forms - Tooth Fairy Carvings (On Real Teeth!)
Cordelia Cembrowicz, from Bristol, is an artist who carved tooth fairies from children's milk teeth. Using a specially adapted drill, a rotary cutter and magnifying glass, she spends about almost 20 hours to carve a tooth. 		How clever and beautiful.
