Snail Shell System is yet another one-person living pod. From the same people we also have LAND - whereby owners of land can make their land available for any person to use. I think I'd want to know a little more of the fine print of this to really know what's involved, but it sounds like a bloody good idea.

Green Fortune make a StreamGarden which is your run-of-the-mill yuppie hydroponics system, but also a PlantWall, which you can only look at by clicking the annoying flash link. I want a PlantWall. The only problem would be finding wallspace for it that isn't occupied by books. Stairwells and bathrooms might be good places for them in private homes, though.

If you have old thumbdrives gathering dust you can donate them to schools and other projects in developing countries.

Spokeo appears to be a device that, um, aggregates your aggregated wossnames. So you can have LJ and Myspace and Xanga and all your RSS feeds and a dozen or so other regular-entry things, all stuck on one page. I see they don't have Vox there.

If you have time you could grow your own furniture. I quite like the concept, if perhaps not the particular examples shown. Of course, people have been making living willow furniture for some time, but you don't tend to be able to pick that up and move it around so much.

Chainless shaft drive bicycle. What it says.

Spokeo looks pretty nifty. :) The sites it monitors? has some overlap with MyBlogLog (http://www.mybloglog.com), but they've each got some stuff the other doesn't. And now that I've paused, and had some coffee, and looked closer, the two aren't at all alike. LOL. But still both nifty. :D

ps, *hugs*

The snail-shell seems kinda pointless. It's big, bulky and with limited flexibility. If you really want a portable shelter than can turn into a boat, there's better ways to go about it. A coricle springs to mind, or taut-skin canoe using the tent skin.

Also.. *hugs and a back-rub*
