how college dorm, but expensive

WIWI: i sometimes have separation anxiety when it comes to my clothes. i'm not sure if it'd be worth it to get this chair, plus imagine all the lint that would be flying off the frayed fabric edges, but the real question is whether i can get a matching ottoman.


The Droog Rag Chair by Tejo Remy is layered from the contents of 15 bags of rags. It arrives ready made but the user has the option to recycle their own discarded clothers to be included in the design. Each piece is unique, but it can also become a treasured chest of memories. Rags, metal strips. 60 x 60 x 100cm. Ships in 8 to 12 weeks.

it fixes everything in style

WIWI: there was a time when silver duct tape in and of itself was really trendy. people made clothes and shoes and bags out of it. for this snazzy version, red and green are OK, but i would be all over this stuff if they had the bright yellow plaid. i know it has a name, but it's escaping me right now. beautiful.


With so many uses, this economical "sportsman's repair kit" (aka L.L. Bean Maine Guide Duct Tape, Plaid) will be the first thing you put in your hunting pack. Comes in handy for everything from patching equipment to removing dog hair from truck seats. Exclusive traditional plaid print.

now you can rub your feet into furry carpet all you want

WIWI: i'm not sure why it would need to light up when static is detected since it should just be eliminating it anyway, but if i had it, i'd definitely carry it around everywhere and use it before i touched anything. i wonder what kind of battery it takes (or does it run of static electricity?) clearly i have no idea how this sort of thing works.

rent in dc is outrageous

WIWI: at least it's not made out of cardboard. but seriously, this is amazing. even though i'm not in love with retro/modern rounded edges, the concept is incredible. i wouldn't suggest this for sleep walkers, though.

and while we're on the cooking theme...

WIWI: Rediculously heavy, shiny and complicated. Do they cook food any better than pans that cost a thousand dollars less? Probably not. Hey, did I mention they're shiny?

All-Clad Copper Core cookware features five (count 'em) five-ply construction with a pure copper pot or pan sandwiched between two layers of aluminum, sandwiched again between two layers of stainless steel. Mmm...sandwich.

they also make phones

WIWI: mostly i want this knife because it's ceramic and beautiful and ergonomic. i've been looking for a knife for when i move, something that will make me love cooking even more, but i'll probably be looking at a decent $20 version.


This all new Kyocera 7" Professional Chef's Knife is part of the new Revolution series and works great for slicing fruits, vegetables and boneless meats. Zirconium oxide blades stay razor sharp at least 10 times longer than traditional cutlery. Ceramic blades will never rust or change from its natural state. It is totally impervious to acids, juices, oils, salts or other elements. As a result, it will never alter the taste, smell or appearance of food.

why build it when you can buy an overpriced version?

WIWI: because it looks 100 times cooler than a shitty whiteboard or corkboard. and it reminds me of all the futuristic boardrooms that have huge windowpanes that serve as display boards, even though it makes no sense since it'd be near impossible to read if there wasn't a plain background behind the glass. that's what the future is for.


Pottery Barn's Framed Frosted Glass is a stylish alternative to the typical whiteboard, our sheet of frosted green glass is banded with a sleek frame.

plowing snow is SO uncivilized

WIWI: Your tools are neither cute, nor sentient enough.

Yuki-Taro is an autonomous snowplow robot with a GPS brain and camera eyes (yes, its eyes are functional). Yuki doesn't simply push snow around like you would with your primitive shovel or snowblower; nay, it actually finds snow to eat, compresses the powdery substance into convenient rectangular blocks in its body, and poops them out the back so its ape-like master can come pick the blocks up later for easy disposal or alternate uses such as cooling or refrigeration.

make work suck less

WIWI: You sit in the same chair for 40 hours every week until you're too old to enjoy life. Might as well make it a good one.


The Humanscale Freedom is a 160-pound office chair that automatically counterbalances your weight, supports your neck and contours to every minutae of your body as you sit, move and recline without the use of a single knob, motor, lock or lever. Because the headrest automatically moves forward to cradle your head as you lean backwards, you can kick back and still get that TPS report done. Unless, of course, you didn't get the memo.
$1,350

stepping on a pedal is just too much work

WIWI: forget that plastic garbage that calls itself a waste receptacle (pun intended). anything robotic is better than its non-AI counterpart.


Eliminate cross-contamination with touch-free operation. The lid of the SimpleHuman sensor trash can opens automatically when you place your foot in the sensor zone at the base.

forecast: cloudy skies and raw vegetables for dinner

WIWI: the thing is beautiful and shiny. environmentally friendly too. i can't see how it could work well, but i def want to try.

because cooking is basically a science experiment

WIWI: measuring cups are usually boring, which is THE reason why i don't use them. maybe with this i'll start treasuring accuracy from now on


Just like cooking, this mod blue beaker is a little bit art, a little bit science. Lab-beaker styling with a deep spout and multiple calibrated measurements, in a cool blue shade of heavy-duty plastic.

tea is good for you

WIWI: the french press of tea. is that a leather case too?


The Eva Solo Tea Brewer Gift Set with Tumblers would make the perfect gift either for friends, family, or even yourself! The tea brewer is unique in that in can brew tea in two different ways. You can allow the tea leaves to float freely in the water and then the filter retains the leaves when you pour your tea into the mouth-blown glass tumblers. Alternatively, you can put the tea leaves in the filter and once the tea has brewed for long enough, fully depress the plunger.
