trekdesk-treadmill-deskFeeling like a lazy bitch?

I am.

As I snarf down my fourth coffee clothed in my running outfit, which I have heretofore worn only to RUN ERRANDS, I realize that just chasing the UPS man down the street for my signature-required packages isn’t going to cut it for exercise.

As I posted last week, I’m on the hunt for a new desk; if I double my budget, I can get this snazzy TrekDesk, which perches over my treadmill and allows me to work while walking very, very slowly. (Slow walking = no sweat, hence its popularity among folks for whom B.O. would be an office hazard.)

As if feeling like a blob isn’t motivation enough, there’s even a Twitter #hashtag for the mobile office.  #treadtweets tracks miles walked and worked, and it’s nothing short of astonishing to see a report of 11.98 miles covered in the time that I’ve mocha-choco-latte’d my way through a stack of e-mails.

from our friends at TheFind: parkhaus chicken egg cozy

Monday, February 1st, 2010

From our friends at TheFind:

I’ve recently found lots of cool felt items from a German company called Parkhaus Berlin. They create and design modern home accessories in their Berlin studios. The collection includes cushions for design classic chairs, felt accessories and lighting.

This chicken egg cozy is one of my faves. I love bright colors like orange for my kitchen. Orange plays nicely in a modern kitchen against white, dark browns or various shades of greens, blues and even pairs well with magenta. Think Marimekko! The simplicity is wonderful as well. The ideal breakfast time accessory for friendly modernists!

All of Parkhaus’ products are made of 100% all-natural wool felt and are made in Germany. This cozy goes for $15 at Greenergrassdesign.com.
