The USS Galileo, from Alpine School District’s Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center is a wonderful way to show how geeky you are. Now what is such a geeky thing doing on a luxury related blog? Well, I believe sometimes we all have dark desires that we do not necessarily admit in front of everyone.

One such could be to have a fortress of nerditude which is almost a space ship right in the living room. The USS Galileo simulator comes with stations, networking, speakers, a main viewscreen and all things that are futuristic. Apparently, it will cost anything more than $1000 so be ready to spend an amount much higher than that. I especially like the cool design and the quirky way in which it is built.

You could perhaps invite your friends over and take them on a journey through space right in the middle of your living room. I am sure the Simulator can also be used after a long booze party when the childhood desire of being an astronaut resurfaces under the influence of alcohol! SO go ahead and get this cool USS Galileo simulator. If I could, I would buy one.

The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) 91st annual meeting saw some really cool products being launched. One of them is what is being touted as the world’s first and only clean keyboard. What do they actually mean when they say that the keyboard is the cleanest in the world? Well, the keyboard cleans itself in a process called self-sanitizing technology.

It is aimed at the medical market and has been launched by Vioguard LLC. It comes with 2 25 watt UV lights and kills almost 99.99% of viruses and bacteria. It just needs 90 seconds to do so. You could stay assured that you would not be contracting any of the dreaded diseases which is caused by viruses and bacteria like H1N1, molds and others.

The Vioguard keyboard is a little expensive and costs $899. The keyboard looks quite good too, and with rising occurrences of microbial infections it is a good idea if all the offices got a keyboard such as this one. Perhaps if more number of keyboards are bought, then there could actually be a decrease in the cost of the keyboard too!

In some strange way, designed by artist Soomi Park, the LED eyelashes have been intended to compensate `Asian women’s’ desire for bigger eyes. It is rather unlikely that wearing LEDs instead of the delicate eye-lashes would enhance the size of eyes at all. More so, would women really go in for something so artificial even if their urge to get bigger eyes is strong?

An effort of this nature would have been appreciated if put up in an art gallery as a strong statement the artist wanted to express, or to depict an out-of-box theatric character. It looks too far-fetched take it beyond a Halloween party, the least as a statement of beauty.


The lashes are attached to a tilt sensor so when you tilt your head in specific directions, the lashes light up. Sounds toyish, somewhat like those kids’ shoe lights that glow with a noise when they walk.
