Low tech but still cool tech.

Its a giant black bag that you fill with air by holding it over your head and running around like an idiot. Then you tie it off and wait for the sun to heat it up and I guess eventually it lifts you off the ground. All for 10 pounds, to bad they don't sell them in the USA.

Here is the link.

Thrown in some plumbing and a mini-fridge and I'm totally there! That chair would end my marriage...

I think they need to incorporate some weight lifting equipment into that setup so that most of your muscles don't atrophy right away. ... I predict that some gamers that sit in that chair will never get up!

Meh, that desk does nothing for me. Looks like expensive stuff that you would sell to the government or a lab or something. The chair does look nice though, but for $1500!!!!
