Air Conditioned Bed? Heck Yeah!

This time of year around AZ, this would be pretty sweet:



Sure, you could blow a cool million on a bed you'd never sleep on, but why not grab one that actually provides some relief (and won't run you $5k a month... forever) after a hard day in the blazing sun? Enter Kuchofuku, who certainly has the right idea with its air conditioned sleeper and clothing line. The makeshift bed, which only weighs 5.3-pounds, utilizes dual fans to pull air in and circulate it through the cushion beneath you. Of course, it'd be a modern tragedy to have to rise and leave such a pleasant scenario, but you can solve that dilemma as well care of the air conditioned shirt. The button-up garb touts an integrated fan that is purportedly powered via USB, which means that your armpits can now remain fresh regardless of how infrequent the AC kicks on at the office. A cooler night's sleep is but $399 away, while the new threads (seen after the jump) will run you a staggering $159 apiece.

I got to swim for about 10 minutes last night around 9:30pm. I floated on my back and gazed up at the almost-full moon and the stars, and the palm tree in my backyard. My own slice of heaven. And this time of year at 9:30pm, it was still over 103 degrees. Craaaaazy!

Pool

Here are some pics of the pool that I snapped last night:


Here's a closer shot of the tilework where the waterfall comes out:


I'll get some this weekend with the waterfall going -- it adds a relaxing sound to the house when you're inside, all you hear is the waterfall, it's great :)

Now all that's left is to load up the Aztek after work every night and take a full carload of boxes over there. I think we'll get the bulk of it done this weekend (I hope). First official night in the house will probably be this Friday night. I'm looking forward to the plantation shutters, which mean the sun won't be burning a hole in my eye sockets when it comes up over the foothills like it does every morning in the condo, heh heh.
