So the pocket protector has gone the way of the dinosaur and horn-rimmed glasses are no longer in fashion. Why, you can’t even rock the stand-alone calculator these days because you have a calculator built into your other devices. How on Earth are you going to fly your geek flag? Getting a wedgie would probably do the trick, but that can be painful.
How about these Numeric Keypad chairs? Perfect for clandestine geek meetings, when you want to talk code or share how you gave your pet robot the ability to love. Hey, maybe you can all randomly sit and stand, while the head nerd adds up the total. Of course, some idiot would park his butt on the clear button screwing it all up. Loads of fun.

I have no idea what the story is behind this set of numeric keypad/calculator chairs is, but I do know I think it’s super cool!
I wish so badly that I could explain the rationale behind this or tell you whether or not it’s concept art or a commercial product, but I still haven’t learned how to read Japanese characters. (Note to self: learn how to read Japanese characters.) I can tell you that it comes from Pantograph, whose website has lots of other odd an unexplainable objects on display.
You’d need a pretty big living room to pull this off, since they really look their best when they’re all together in their “official” arrangement. But if you did pull this off, I mean, shoot. I’d totally come to your party.

This dinette could probably make you feel a bit dizzy if you looked at it too long. If furniture has personalities I would have to say that these could be classified as either “vertically challenged” or “objects on crack”. They’re equal parts creepy and cool. Designer Benjamin Hopf wanted to freeze them in time as they are falling apart before your eyes. But in contrast, they’re just as sturdy as most other chairs.
There’s no price listed for these on the site, but being art, I’m sure it’s inflated. It would be great buy a bunch of this stuff and redo someone’s room while they’re away. They might be convinced that they have entered another dimension. One not of sight or sound, but one of mind…

We’ve gotten our hands all over the new JVC GZ-HD3 1080i camcorder, and we thought we’d share the good fortune with you. If you’ll recall, the new GZ-HD7 kid-brother rocks a 60GB internal hard drive, allowing for something like five hours of 1440 x 1080, 30Mbps recordings. The camera is light and small for the feature set it packs (although it gets some stiff, stiff competition from the new Sanyo HD-1000), and the design is pretty much the plain-jane basics you’ve come to expect from JVC. Check the gallery and see for yourself.
