A new 52″ plasma just won’t have the same impressive impact until the size is truly verified; and the best way to do that is by implementing the same magical phrase that prevents you from buying over the counter medications the size of horse pills: “actual size”. Now you can pick up your own actual size stickers and paste them to anything that demands size recognition, like your house, car, shoes, refrigerator, gut, ass, whatever.

Back in the 80’s plasma balls were a popular item—but unless you happen to get lost and wander into a Spencer’s Gifts, you don’t see them around very much these days. Brain-shaped versions on the other hand…now these could really bring the plasma lamp roaring back.

If you want to have a Kiss theme in your house, this LED sculpture is probably where you need to start. The realistic sculpted head with the usual dripping blood is only the beginning. The 8″ flashing fiber optic glass tongue highlights the defining feature of Kiss back in those days. If anything I would say the tongue is a bit shorter than in real life.

The plasma beer mug is something that will be a really cool addition to your next party, even before your guests are three sheets to the wind. The hollow walls of the mug contain a gas that becomes excited when it is placed on the charging cradle. Just like plasma lamps, you can redirect the plasma flow with your finger. All good party tricks, just keep them away from the stoners in the corner.

One of the things I am constantly bitching about with my personal training clients is their poor posture. They are constantly slouched over a computer at work which leads to bad posture and back problems. If that sounds like you, the Stance Angle Chair could be extremely helpful.
“The Stance® angle chair ensures proper distribution of body weight for nearly every body shape and size. Its simple angle and height controls, along with lumbar-supporting back and the leg cushion, provide optimal postural support for infinite positions, including the single most-beneficial position: “neutral position.”
If you have the means, a Stance Angle Chair would be an ideal solution to protect your back, improve circulation, and improve posture without reducing productivity at work. Just be prepared to pay far, far out the ass for it.
You can pick up a Stance Angle Chair for $1200 – 1300 USD

Now you can add some character to your lifeless plasma display by having one custom built in an waterfall fountain.
These are one off designs by Astute Advance Contemporary Products. The plasma models are primarily marketed to businesses for decoration or to draw attention to their display in a crowded convention center.
For those people who are looking for a conversation piece, this may work for them as well. I assume you would need a boatload of cash, but if you have it flaunt it. While you’re at it, let me know how I can get in on that gravy train.

The release of a 1080p, 63″ plasma television may not be news in general, but it becomes new when it its announced with a suggested $3,500 list price. That means it could be below $3000 by the time it hits the street.
Beside the obvious coolness of a 63″ plasma, it also offers a motorized swiveling stand and a USB port to connect your cameras and iPods.
With the one exception of the possibility of burn in, which shouldn’t be an issue with normal use, plasma is definitely my first choice. Great pictures and basically no viewing angle issues put it way above the LCD’s that are so prevalent today.
