Uppercase Living gives those of us in love with typography an interesting tool to add typography to our home design. The product is a matte finish vinyl that provides each piece with a hand-painted feel.

Not Even Your Furniture Likes Rug Burn

Not Even Your Furniture Likes Rug Burn
The easiest way to move furniture is by gliding it across your floor. In the process of sliding and pushing, you also destroy your floor. The Container Store has these sliders called Mighty Mover Furniture Sliders that you place underneath the legs of your furniture so you can slide it across your home without damaging your floor (that's what the description says anyway). You could technically also just place a towel under the legs and go about your business that way, but the foam cushion conforms to the leg and the plastic should make it easier to glide.

At $6.99 for a pack of four 2 1/4 diameter Mighty Mover Furniture Sliders, they don't exactly break the bank.


Pour a Lil' Sugar on Me

Pour a Lil' Sugar on Me
Zevro has come up with an ingenious way to dispense sugar. The Sugar 'n More Dispenser (Model EMY100) allows you to dispense a specific amount of sugar: either 1/4, 1/2, or 1 teaspoon of sugar. You may also alter the sizes by installing 1 of 3 different measurement accessories that come with the package. We find this useful, specially for our daily coffee where we can stick to one set measurement and always get the right sweetness. The Sugar 'n More Dispenser also allows you to set the dispenser to sprinkle or pour, so you don't always get the Niagara falls pour. +1 for usefulness.


Watch Hulu On Your Television

Watch Hulu On Your Television
We rarely speak about computer software here, so excuse us for a moment. MediaMall Technologies recently released PlayOn, a piece of software that allows you to stream Hulu video to your TV via a Playstation 3 or XBOX 360. Hulu is currently a view-on-computer-only affair, so this enables you to watch it comfy on your couch. The computer and gaming systems must be connected to the same network, and you need to follow a few steps to get it working, but the BETA worked well and it allows us to get more entertainment out of our expensive gaming systems. You can also stream YouTube videos with the software and the company has plans to stream Netflix movies as well. For those who felt left in the cold when Netflix announced XBOX 360 exclusivity, this might come as a welcomed announcement.

If you have no idea what Hulu is, visit the Hulu site. The PlayOn beta software can be had at the MediaMall Technologies web site.

Design Your Own Modern Lamp with Builtby Lamps at Inhabit
Creative control is something we crave. Builtby Lamps gives us that creative freedom allowing us to design our own set of lamps via the inhabit web site. You get to choose the multiple parts that make up the base of the lamp in various shapes each ranging from .25 inches up to 4 inches. Once you do that, you choose from five different colors or four different wood swatches per piece. Your total price is determined by the sizes, colors, and finish (wood) you choose for each piece. The parts you buy are swappable, so if you are not 100% happy, you can re-design on the fly with the pieces you bought or you can order more color combinations from the web site. This gives you the freedom to repaint your room in the future and just swamp out the old for the new significantly easy. Slick.

For those of you design-challenged the inhabit web site also provides you with pre-designed lamps to make your life easier.

More Proof Alarm Clocks Need Not Be Ugly

More Proof Alarm Clocks Need Not Be Ugly
Alarm clocks don't need to be ugly. Philips proved this fact with their AJL308 digital photo frame and clock radio. We certainly like the trend continuing to skew towards that end and though the Bedol "18-Zone Time" alarm clock isn't as featured rich, it does look mighty fine with the translucent LCD display. Date, temperature, calendar, and full-month display round up the features in this alarm clock bringing sexy back.
