EcoShack is a Portable Summer Shelter!

Posted in Architecture, Consumer, Cool, Design, Entertainment, Gadgets, Household by max on the July 25th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

Check out the EcoShack, a portable summer shelter designed for great air-flow and sustainability.

It’s a change from my regular old tent but it could be great for a permanent shelter for the summer on your backyard.

I must say the setup doesn’t look too pleasing to do but maybe worth it for a summer-long setup.

Designed by Ecoshack founder Stephanie Smith and inspired by shelters used in Asia for centuries, the Nomad is a fully-enclosed, eco-luxurious, portable outdoor room. Create a sanctuary in your backyard.  Also great at spa resorts, luxury campsites and hotels.

Buy the Nomad Yurt here for $9700 and don’t break your arms, maybe sell a kidney.

Virgin is making some space travels available for regular maxes like you and me. Well, actually I’ve been reading about this on Time magazine but Bodin brought it up in his new travel blog, onearthtravel. (wait a minute, isn’t this out of earth?!?)

Anyway, check it out. One day, space travel will be like airplane travel. Pay $500 to goto mars or somethin’

Virgin Galactic is the world’s first ever venture into space tourism, giving you the
ground-breaking opportunity to be one of the first ever space tourists. Virgin
Galactic will own and operate its privately built spaceships, modeled on the
remarkable, history-making SpaceShipOne.
