Have $10,000 to burn? If so, consider the new top end of the Sonic Touch Chair line your seat of choice. This spherical wonder features integrated speakers to truly envelop you in sound. Talk about a sweet spot. ”Shake that ass” takes on a new meaning as the back of the chair delivers powerful bass. The sound’s not the only thing high-end: top grade leather exterior, faux-suede microfiber interior and a stainless steel pedestal with all wires integrated. Works with nearly every input you could imagine.  Another option is the addition of an iMac Touch on a built-on swivel. The fact that it serves as desk, chair and stereo system may dull the price pain a bit, but not that much.  [via ubergizmo]

living calender The Newave Living Calendar

Designed by Maksim Biriukov, the Living Calendar is a newave project that displays the day, week and year in a an unusual, interesting way. The Living Calendar shows, at a glance, all the details about your current place in the time-space continuum. Beyond the standard calendar functions, this clock-style system shows holidays, times of the year and many other interesting details in a rotary format. Despite a complicated technique that involves a large hand to show the current day and month and a little one to keep track of the current hour, it’s mighty simple once you get used to it or if you learn Russian. Meanwhile, we already found a big drawback– the price. Please help us understand why someone would pay $9,495 for this. $50 at your local Sharper Image, maybe, but $10k? “Come on!” (tell that to the guy in the $20,000 suit!) [via Yanko]

morgane dubled mmm msp1 The Modern Chastity Belt: Lingerie with GPS

The classic chastity belt was designed as a device that women had to wear while their men where at war. Nowadays, it doesn’t involve locks and metals anymore, but a beautiful set of lingerie equipped with a GPS tracking system. Dubbed the ‘find me if you can’ range of underwear from lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil, the line includes a lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar. Prices start from £500 if you trust a standard GPS, but can go up to £700 if you want to be sure of what’s going on … down under. Not sure how many women would accept wearing anything like that, but I do know a bunch of guys who’d buy at as an anniversary gift! [via DailyMail]
