May 7 2007EnergyPod makes napping futuristic
If you don't mind looking like a total idiot at work, the EnergyPod is a great little place to do your napping. There's a visor to keep out external sound and keep in internal ones, such as snoring or loud screaming or whatever other sounds you might make in your sleep. There's also an built-in sound system which plays music loaded on an internal memory card. It costs about $8,000, so you'll have to decide for yourself just how important having a chair shaped like a spaceship is to you. Personally, I'm okay napping on the floor. Or on the subway. Or on the floor of the subway. It's all good, baby.

Yes, this is great, but can it make waffles shaped like keyboards? I think not.

Haha. I fell asleep on the floor of a subway in Kuala Lumpur once, after too much drinking. I must have slept there like an hour before someone woke me up and asked if I was OK.
I've also fallen asleep standing up though...

Maybe they're testing the guy inside for ESP.
"Now I'm rubbing a body part against the pod next to your head. Can you tell me which body part?"

Seriously, that guy with the file looks like he's contemplating molestation.
I'd be paranoid in the pod.
10. Mr. Geekologie - May 7, 2007 2:09 PM
I would totally molest anyone sticking out of the pod like that, for certain. Cop a feel and run off! Sweet!

...and the poor twerp in the 'Pod just cracks his head on the visor. "Huh? Hey!"
12. Phil - May 7, 2007 2:34 PM
Perhaps he's trying to 'Dutch oven' the guy in the EnergyPod.

That's a long tongue.

"...the EnergyPod is a great little place to do your npaping."
npaping, eh? I just love a great npa, I dunno about you though.

looks pretty comfterble to me. although i could probably make one myself out of cardboard and dead babies, and it wouldnt cost half as much, but whatever.

This is an awful like the one from yesterday. In fact, one might say "update the page or you're responsible for my actions."

I wouldn't want this at the office. My boss would totally see my legs when I'm napping. I need more of a totally concealing until that when closed looks like I'm sitting at my desk doing my work.
Also an LCD on that flap would be nice.
