… would this be sitting in your lounge room or bedroom?!

The ‘Transport’, an egg-shaped fiberglass vessel outfitted with speakers and an array of light-emitting diodes. Mr. Frias, its designer, described it as a “perceptual pod.”

Whatever that means.

Regardless, I think it looks awesome. Does anyone remember those egg chairs? They were like all the hype after they appeared in the Men in Black film and suddenly it was super-cool and all futuristic to have one of them in your house?! Well this is just like those egg chairs. Except this thing hasn’t become famous yet. It just needs to feature in a cool film and you’ll see them everywhere.

At a retail of around $12,000 USD they’re probably a little out of my league, especially as far as optional furniture goes. Ah well.. one can dream eh?

And then there’s always the ultimate in lay-z-boy furniture, the Wave Chaise…

I can just see me sprawled out on that thing, watching the F1 in wide screen goodness. Oh yeah.

In other news, the Cockatoo’s were back in force today. I saw about 50 of them on the way to work this morning, the flock of them terrorising the water front just down the end of my street. This afternoon, the regular crowd was around the backyard awaiting their feed. Gramps (or the sick one) was around too.. looking as disheveled as ever. Poor thing. I managed to get the camera out in time to catch a couple leaving. The lighting wasn’t right, but I wanted to try a motion shot - so tried 1/125th at f5.6 (ISO400) and got this.

The other one in the sequence wasn’t worthy of mention though. Oh wait, I just mentioned it didn’t I? Well.. it wasn’t brilliant.
