I can't not see tiny faces in every power socket you lot got.
And around this part of the country they are installed upside down, I think just to annoy me.

Actually there may be madness in their method. sic
I read somewhere that they invert them so that it does not look like a face so that toddlers won't fool with them. -

What I want to know is, when you turn the handle does it act like a rheostat, and the light dims?

I think the Sketchboard might appeal to some here that enjoy sketching on tracing paper with a fat clutch pencil ..... I for one enjoy the feel!
Anton Reinig from Berlin has designed the Sketchboard to keep the process nice and tidy. I also thought that he has not overpriced the device at $30 and his target figure is very realistic so it will more than likely be a runner.

Who wouldn't want one! The Hover Bike (sorry Pilou I missed your post,http://forums.sketchucation.com/report.php?f=72&p=422736 but I think it still deserves to be included here)

Fine design? Maybe not, but very fine creativity and an absurdly aesthetic eye.

I think it qualifies for sure.
It looks like an old commercial structure by the exposed mechanical, and wiring, and even some of the fixtures which fit the context so well. Plus the thoughtful way the key fixtures are mobile, means the space can be altered to any purpose.
But really I just love the funk
