I’m waiting for Ikea Dublin to open. OK, not waiting, but making some plans. So I keep an eye on the Ikea Hacker blog.

And today, this shows up.

The Good Vibrations table was created by Tim G Taylor as part of an art exhibition.

• Materials:
• one Lack side-table top,
• four ‘ultra-smooth lite-up multi-speed simulators”,
• one book ‘Great Railway Journeys of the World’.

The idea would be to have a traveling table at the exhibition, but it stayed in place. Rattling.

Obviously the choice of dildo is important. It has to be rather hard (ahem) to hold up the the weight of the table. But somehow the sight of the flexible ones, flapping about, trying to go around the floor would be amusing. Maybe tongues would be better (a telephone table to get tongues wagging!). Also the table being considered a “Lack” despite its clear endowment means that the artist is a very happy man. Something like this should win the “Filthy Butt Fun Award” from Maxi.

But I think I could go one better (even if I get weird looks from the TOG guys).

You see, one of the most popular hacks for Ikea products, is to make a multi-station charger for your phone, MP3 player, laptop etc.

Well why not a battery recharger.

After all the legs need something to keep going.

Maybe I should apply for a business idea grant. Is there a business to be made designing furniture like this? After all I can see an excellent horizontal Saint Andrew’s Cross being made out of four Norden benches and an Oddvar stool. Or would something like that be considered blasphemy?

take care,
and insert the batteries correctly,

All joking aside, most of the construction work here involves a shopping centre in some way.

And in all the building there is a tree.

A tree which I honestly think, you can only see from the surrounding buildings, but not the street.

So its hidden away for only the construction workers to enjoy.

take care,

Tomorrow I’m going off grid for a while

and going to the Doneraile Photowalk at 3pm.

I’ve even gotten access to a GSP (and a friend with camera to read maps if that fails) to get there. Given my ability to get lost while traveling, the technology is a good idea.

Given the things I’ve seen (and photographed) while lost, maybe not. Anyway, I’ve asked Donncha to post the GPS coordinates on his latest post and see if I can find it.

take care (and see you there?)

oh the above photo. Since I’m commuting to and from Cork again, I’m taking shots along the way (the bus driver doesn’t mind). However early morning (low light) shots from a moving bus (fast shutter speed) is needless to say, less than ideal. Taking the shots in black and white seems to help a little.
Expect a few more to show up here.
