With this setup, who needs the oxygen?

Mike Yamamoto | May 02, 2008

After having witnessed their rise in the bacchanalian heydey of the dot-com boom, we've always had an odd fascination with oxygen bars. And yes, we admit that it probably has something to do with Dennis Hopper's character in Blue Velvet too.

That aside, the "Entertainment Oxygen Lounge" may prove too difficult to resist even for skeptics like us. Not only does it have the requisite stress-reducing and mood-enhancing equipment, according to BornRich, but it combines that system with a massage chair. And we all know how we feel about those.

It gets even better: Add a DVD player, stereo, and high-end earphones for "audio/video therapy" to an "Aroma O2 Headset," and it's Bliss City. Come to think of it, we'll skip the oxygen and have a beer instead. Pabst Blue Ribbon, of course.

Nike+ Sport Band to hit Asia in the coming weeks

John Chan | May 01, 2008

We've written about the Nike+ Sport Band, which is part of the sportswear giant's system for generating statistics about your own running patterns and progress. Though the Western world has gotten it first, we here in Asia don't have to wait too long. Nike has informed us that it will go on sale in Singapore from May 8, with the rest of Asia to follow shortly after. It will retail for S$99.

For the uninitiated, the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit was originally meant to be used with an iPod nano. The main component is a chip with a pedometer which goes into a hole in the sole of your Nike+ shoe. With the Sport Band, you no longer need to have an iPod nano, which is a boon for those who find music players and headphones cumbersome during jogs. Read our full review of the iPod Sport Kit here.

Bag your banana with the NANA

Juniper Foo | May 01, 2008

How many times have you had leftover bananas you just can't finish? Okay, maybe like never. But just in case you go bananas wondering what to do with a bisected banana, thanks to some wit out there with probably nothing better to do, help now comes in the form of the NANA Saver Banana Holder (US$2.98). Looking like a giant bag clip, it pegs onto your half a banana with a set of teeth and flat plate clamping tightly against the exposed end. Just how long this keeps fresh isn't clear. But hey, with food prices going up every which way you turn, it might be time to start living frugally just like your pre-War grandparents did.
