Media Chair focuses all your audio right on you~



If you liked the idea of the Sound Egg but not so much its aesthetics, say hello the Martin Emila's Media Chair. It's the same idea: a comfy chair set up with speakers focused right at your head, but one that looks a lot classier. You know, without all that sound-dampening foam stapled in there~

With the Media Chair, you get to pick the color of the chair itself as well as the color and pattern of the fabric of the seat. At least, in theory, as this is just a concept. Which I guess, in the end, gives the Sound Egg a leg up. Being real and all~

EMBED-Bringing Down The Warehouse - Watch more free videos

this is a horrible fork lift accident that destroys nearly $250K of precious vodka in distribution center. Oh the humanity! Still, it is pretty awesome. And by awesome I mean devastating. And by devastating I mean very, very awesome~

Interesting: 20,000 Piece Lego Kitchen Island~



Listen, I love LEGO. And if I could build a LEGO woman and take her on the bus with me without soliciting funny looks from all the other, REAL crazy people while we partook in a little heavy petting, I 100% would. Unfortunately, I tested the waters with a mannequin and it's a no-go. But did that stop Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti from buying a kitchen island from IKEA and covering it with 20,000 LEGO bricks? IT DID NOT! And, damnit, it won't stop them from contracting salmonella either~

Kurt Russell's wonderfully bad audition tape for Han Solo~



You may have seen this already, but it's worth a chuckle: The black-and-white audition tape of Kurt Russell trying out for the role of Han Solo in the original Star Wars movie~

There's a couple reasons to be relieved George Lucas picked Harrison Ford for the part. Russell's a great guy and all, but he seems to be auditioning for a role in a different kind of movie, one that's noirish and serious~

Also, if he had got the part, then what would have happened to Snake Plissken? Col. Jack O'Neill? Indiana Jones? The mind reels~
