art :: drawing in his sleep

Lee Hadwin has no artistic talent at all in fact  he can't draw worth beans . When he is awake that is. But send him to bed and you might find him walking in his sleep a few hours later, drawing expertly rendered masterpieces. At night this nurse by day  becomes a "sleepwalking artist" producing amazing artwork, that he has no recollection of having done when he awakens in the morning!

His sleepwalking began when he was only four years old and later in his teen years the drawing obsession took over and his nocturnal talent blossomed. Once staying over at a friend's house, he covered the kitchen walls with doodles in his sleep, an embarrassing discovery at breakfast time the next day. Read more about this  odd sleepwalking artist over at daily mail. He is JUST COOL!

technology :: metro napping and the energy pod

It never fails. Everyday around 3PM your eyes start to droop and the urge to kick up your feet and get a little shut eye kicks in. Enter MetroNaps.com and the latest trend in power napping via their geeky looking pod chair that looks part beauty salon hairdryer and part space age cool. Workers around the world have been caught snoozing away in these Energy Pods that recline and enclose the snoozer in a privacy shield of comfort, then twenty minutes later gently wake them with a soft alarm and vibration. For a mere $8,000 + per chair, MetroNap promises to refresh and rejuvinate and will actually improve ones productivity. Australia has just okayed these Energy Pods for use in hospitals, not for the patients but for the doctors that need a reprieve from their long tiring work hours. A smart idea that will probably cut down on missing sponges and surgical instruments.

Hey, I want one of these. Their JUST COOL!
