  <title>Ferris Wheel Shoe Storage System by Rakku</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Rakku Designs makes this clever Ferris wheel-like shoe storage system that, depending on shoe size and type, can hold up to 30 pairs.  Shoes are inserted through elastic bands, which both hold the shoes in place and allow for easy retrieval.  This <a href="http://www.rakkudesigns.com/Features.html">page</a> lists some of the features of the device, which include the ability to adjust the rotation speed through a tension controller.  <br><br>

This <a href="http://www.rakkudesigns.com/Closet.html">picture</a> gives a better impression of the width of the unit (<a href="http://www.rakkudesigns.com/Dimensions.html">dimensions are here</a>) than the pictures on the home page do.   <br><Br>Price: 65 bucks, but currently sold out (January 2006).]]></description>

  <title>Alarm Clock that Runs Away and Hides Unless You Wake up</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Clocky is a funny/ingenious/annoying alarm clock that will roll off your nightstand and find a place to hide if you don't wake up to kill its alarm.  From the site:

<br><br><em>
Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off of your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide. Clocky is kind of like a misbehaving pet, only he will get up at the right time.
</em><br><br>

The unit is also available in a few colours as well as in a brown shag and can jump (fall?) from a 2 foot height.<br><br>

  <title>Make Your Own Headboard</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Apparently in Australia they call headboards 'bedheads' - which is out of control.  Jump over to MSN Australia, and if you can decipher their "English" then you should be able to  follow this step-by-step howto on creating your very own <acronym title="bedhead">headboard</acronym>.<br><br>

Headboards can have a dramatic effect on any bedroom, but they tend not to come cheap.  If you don't have a lot to spend and  you're plagued by a tiny bed in a big bedroom, then maybe a DIY project like this is what you need to create a handsome focal point while balancing the space.   

<br><br>The different headboard guides offered in the howto all end up in the $70 ballpark, which isn't too bad at all.

  <title>Prevent Fitted Bed Sheet Slippage with Sleep Snug</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Do you hate waking up to discover that, not only have you missed your early afternoon soaps, but that your fitted bedsheet has come loose and made a mockery of your orderly and just bed covering system? If so, perhaps these sheet clips called "Sleep Snugs" will help.  They work by securing the fitted sheet to the mattress with some sort of advanced clipping action.  It does seem a little suspect, however,  that plastic clips can be strong enough for the task and also durable enough to last for any significant period of time - they are only four dollars, after all.  Has anyone had any experience with these - or any other sheet pop-off prevention techniques/gadgets?]]></description>
