The Lean and Clean Balancing Machine Bookshelf is not only a cool looking bookshelf but also serves many purposes. The most functional being that it is not fixed in one position. This bookshelf is always balancing on one round peg in the wall. It keeps the dust off since, it won't rest on flat surface for a long time. Everytime you take a book off of one side, the whole shelf will tilt. Another useful feature is that the counterbalances are decorative frames. You can put tiny flowers like the ones in the picture or real pictures of you looking scared while going down a roller coaster last year at Six Flags.

First one is the product on the left. They call it the SteakHouse Grill. It's pretty much a steak toaster. You put your steak into the middle and the electric grill heats it from the sides. The fat grease drip to the bottom which also reduces smoke. It's $199, so why don't you have it yet? Oh yeah, I can't find a way to buy it.

Second (to the right), is a Tetris ice block manufacturer. It's a concept design that they named "Tetrice." It's an ice tray with Tetris block shapes so you can play Tetris as long as ice doesn't melt. So, this is great for when you're outside in below freezing temperatures and you got nothing to do.

Michael Harris designed this concept idea for a nail assist. It helps to strike the nail with a bigger metal area at the top. It also helps you strike the nail down straight. The third benefit is the protection to your fingers. If you still hit your fingers even with this device, you do not have the sense of touch and sight.

Tempo is a conceptual design of an external hard drive that also serves to protect users from accidentally deleting files. It lights up red when something has been deleted. This looks pretty cool but I don't know how they'll fit a 250 GB hard drive into that shape and size.
