Perfect for the hardened drinkers amongst us who like nothing more than a nice piece of barbecued meat and an ice-cold beer, the Mobile Bongos Beer Bar is an exclusively designed transportable unit with a professional beer tap.

Four sturdy wheels allow the Bongos Beer Bar to be easily moved on even the most difficult of surfaces, so you can take it wherever you need to go! The refrigeration system, which has been specially designed, means the beer supply can be used at its ideal temperature for a number of hours without using an electrical current. This lets you “party” in places where electricity can’t get to.

There is also an option of fitting the Bongos Beer Bar with a cooking top, which offers the opportunity to cook great food in a real live-cooking atmosphere, and enjoy a beer while you’re at it!

The Mobile Beer Bar is ideal for pubs, restaurants, caterers, social gatherings, corporate events, private family celebrations and of course, students!

Even though this watch is actually a steampunk-inspired creation — made apparent by the name, Vulcania — I can’t help but think it has a futuristic steampunk feel due to the clean metals and design. Designer Fabrice Gonet dreamed up this watch three years ago and it is finally becoming a reality by being manufactured for HD3 Complication, a watchmaker.

Each aspect of the time is viewed in its own unique way. The hours has a Price is Right style rotating wheel and the minutes are viewed on a circular dial. A small window will also display the current date. Sapphire glass panels on the front and back and side port holes allow for all of the steampunk-y innards to be viewed.

It is extremely limited edition with only 11 watches being manufactured.

At a glance, the far corner of the main floor of J&R Music looks familiar to anybody old enough to have scratched a record by accident. There are cardboard boxes filled with albums by the likes ofMiles Davis and the Beach Boys that could be stacked in any musty attic in America.

But this is no music morgue; it is more like a life-support unit for an entertainment medium that has managed to avoid extinction, despite numerous predictions to the contrary. The bins above the boxes hold new records — freshly pressed albums of classic rock as well as vinyl versions of the latest releases from hip-hop icons like 50 Cent and Diddy and new pop stars like Norah Jones and Lady Gaga.

And with the curious resurgence of vinyl, a parallel revival has emerged: The turntable, once thought to have taken up obsolescence with reel-to-reel and eight-track tape players, has been reborn.

Being fashionable and earth friendly is not hard at all with this new Bamboestoel by Tejo Remy. This creative chair looks perfect for the urban living we desired. This chair is perfect for those who love unique furniture design that is eco friendly at the same time. Bamboestel is made of bamboo, creatively crafted by artistic hands. The chair may look confusing

but it’s a great design. I am just wondering it is a folding chair. With the design I see, I presumed it is a folding chair. If ever I am right, this one is great for those living in the cities who have very limited space.

Dynaudio makes some of the coolest high-end speakers around, and they like to point out that unlikemost ultra fancy boutique speaker companies, they build all of their own drivers in house. The new Consequence Ultimate Edition looks like a good way to hammer that point home, hosting no fewer than five of the Danish manufacturer’s best drivers in a neat inverted stack.

The price tag for all of this driver envy? A cool $70,000, but you do get a choice of real wood veneers. They will be available starting this fall.

During ancient times, people used to read time with there bare eyes by observing the position of the sun. Later on, through various developments, we are now using time devices to read the time change, but still our eyes are the key witness of the changing times. WITness is a concept timepiece that was built to demonstrate the unavoidable relationship between the eyes and the time. This device can be powered up by pressing the side buttons for 2 seconds and it will go back in standby mode automatically. Standby mode is designed to save energy by using only 35% of the LED power. It comprises a flexible bracelet type watchband and a quick locking system for easy and efficient wearing.

The Window Phone is a concept mobile phone that is able to transform its appearance like a window as per the weather. The phone is designed as a thin, clear and transparent plastic sheet, which remains clear during a sunny day, becomes humid during a rainy day and takes a dump outlook during a snowy day. The user can write text messages or draw pictures on the phone in different weather conditions which will later transform and show as SMS characters. The screen features sensitive interaction with the user and comprises the state of a window in different weather conditions.

So for all the geeks like me out there who love to see and gain inspiration from others desktops, then I got the gallery for you.  These are some of the coolest setups from across the web.

Personally, I’m a Apple fanboy and use nothing but Macs, but there are a few very cool PC setups thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy!
