This app connected couch can morph into any piece of furniture you need

Lift-Bit is a shape-shifting sofa that can be controlled via an app. It's comprised of individual honeycomb-shaped stools that are motorized and can be moved around to create various seating positions. Say, for example, you're chilling and you want to use your laptop, you can easily raise one of the stools to serve as a table for the device. If you're having a shindig, you can easily remove seats so your friends will have more space to get their groove on.

Designed by Carlo Ratti for Swiss furniture company Vitra, Lift-Bit is currently a prototype, but stools can be pre-ordered for $900 each. Sofa of the future? Too expensive if you ask me.

It's like an Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.

Biking to School with Kids

I love biking to school with my children. It's a great way to start the day, and it's a lot of fun. Both of them have their own bicycles, meaning I'm basically herding two slightly erratic cyclists. My kids' two-wheelers are quite new and pretty decent. Mine is more like a rusty ten-speeder with a penchant for chain slippage. It's a cheap, rickety bike from China but it's my vehicle of choice for running errands, and honestly, it gets the job done. My youngest is still working on his steering. My eldest, on the other hand, is all about speed. She thinks she's in the Tour de France, so I'm constantly shouting, "Slow down!" Of course there are moments of near disaster. But you know what? Despite the mayhem, there's something undeniably satisfying about arriving at our destination, slightly out of breath, on our bikes. There are also moments of pure, unadulterated joy – like when we are pedaling along the street, the sun on our faces, the wind...
