Nature is beautiful when you don’t live around it all of your life, but coming from someone who lived among the mountains and the trees and the grass for the better part of his short life, I can attest to the fact that the beauty of nature becomes sort of boring after you’ve seen it everyday for 10 years. You ...

These wooden log pillows are perfect for beavers, cuddling humans and cuddling beaver-human hybrids alike. The design of the pillow imitates stubs of the cottonwood tree chewed down by our wood-loving friend, the beaver. Even better, they totally go with your natural pillow motif. The wooden graphics are physically knitted, rather than printed, giving each pillow a little custom touch. ...

Everybody knows that the Grizzly is the most cuddly of bears. Just if they weren’t such assholes. Instead of heading out in to the wild and searching for a real Grizzly Bear to cuddle up with (even though you’ve got one right here baby, rawr), the Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag is not only safer, but might even be ...

This has got to be one of the coolest themed couches ever created. Montanara by Gaetano Pesce creates the illusion of a mountain scene right in your living room, including cushion waterfalls and jagged support peaks of doom. The picturesque couch makes you feel larger than life as you use nature’s largest objects as your personal lounging tool. Just watch ...

Photoshop has this neat little tool which allows you to grab a selected color from pretty much any image you want. Does that photo of an apple have that perfect red you’ve been looking for? The Color Picker by Jinsun Park allows you to grab any color, from any source, at any time and draw with that selected color, using ...

Saving the planet and Star Wars. What more could a geek want? Other than a Lucy Liu sex-bot, of course. The Jedi were always the ones that came off as the treehugger type. Darth and the rest of the dark side didn’t have much consideration for natural beauty. Perhaps never more evident than when he blows up Princess Leia‘s beautiful ...

A bathmat is normally the most boring item that comes to mind when thinking of items inside a house. Such is not the case with this bathmat, which is made up of 70 pieces of moss. Yes, the kind that you find on trees in forests. It apparently feels great, doesn’t smell or mold up and grows from your bathwater. ...

Sky Factory’s new programmable “SkyCeilings” is just what introverts need to raise their Sims “room” stat. In an effort to make surroundings either at home or at the work place aesthetically pleasing, Sky Factory’s ceiling creates an illusion of nature by introducing changes of light and color; all in real-time as if it actually were to simulate the local rising ...

How often do city dwellers get the chance to see a wonder of nature such as the waterfall? Not often enough. I live about 45 minutes from NYC, and I can tell you first hand that the city is magical. It has mostly everything someone could want, and then some. While Central Park provides tourists with a dose of greenery, ...

There have been some interesting attempts in the past to replicate RPG’s to push a certain idea. WolfQuest, a PC game designed by the good people at Minnesota Zoo, allows you to act out the part of a wolf, roaming Yellowstone Park for meat and other wolf needs. Perhaps a mate? The first episode, called “Amethyst Mountain” is aimed at ...
