GymyGym Workout Office Chair

Posted by Paul Muller in Design

How often have you said to yourself, man if i could only get some time away from the office i could get in shape quick! Well self that time is now, provided that you have an extra 599 dollars laying around. I work and sit almost 9 hours a day in the same boring old office chair. It would be awesome to have a device like this to get a little stress relief built in.

Much like some of the more celebrated Herman Miller Sayl chairs this device uses a complex weave fo bungee cords to support your desk-bound body and it too is made from 95% recycled materials. While I am hesitant to spend that type of money on anything that doesn’t beep or have flashing lights it does seem to fit into the price range of luxury chairs. I’d even love to playtest a chair for a while given that my large frame needs a bit of support to go with the design.

And hey if people get too out of control it has a built in lasso to bring them back to the table!

Parkour in dreamland

Posted by Steve Robbins in backchannel, GameRoom

Have you ever watched free-runners as they do some of the most amazing things. The tricks they perform and the heights they can reach are amazing. Personally, if I had a chance to try and do that, in a safe environment, I would go for it. Well, I might have to buy a plane ticket to get a chance.

In California, an establishment has been built to give you the ability to tryout free-running safely. Tempest Freerunning Academy has classes that let’s you learn how to free-run. Even though I was already intrigued to try it out, what really caught my attention was the fact that the facility is built to look similiar to Super Mario Bros. If I was looking for a reason to go, that would be the #1 reason. Unfortunately, this is the only one right now. Hopefully they will expand east so I can give it shot.
