(07/07/11) Straight out of "Alice in Wonderland," the "Mushroom House" of Perinton, N.Y., is your well-heeled bohemian's dream home. Listed at $1.1 million, the home lifts its inhabitants halfway into the surrounding canopy of trees via five concrete, column-supported pods, which are actually modeled after stems of Queen Anne's Lace, not toadstools. Designated a Town of Perinton Landmark in 1989, the psychedelic dwelling nestles in woodland adjacent to Powder Mill Park, and above a waterfall, stream and field of flowers. James H. Johnson designed the home in the early 1970s after a local artist asked him to fashion something "groovy," "open" and "full of nature," according to listing agent Rich Testa. (He describes himself as not your "typical agent," and the $1,000 that Testa's pledged to donate to Habitat for Humanity upon sale of the home seems to support his claim.)

(07/08/09) Hotel: San Alfonso del Mar, Algarrobo, Chile Why It's Cool: You can take small sailboats out on this saltwater pool that Guinness World Records calls the largest in the world. At two thirds of a mile in length, the massive stretch of water has room for several man-made sand beaches. For nighttime swimming, head to the temperature-controlled beach inside the pool's centrally located glass pyramid—the water and the sand are heated.See less

(03/20/08) The Two-Person Home Sauna Unlike most home saunas, this unit fits into small spaces, and can be set up in a few hours without the inconvenience of extensive home remodeling. Made from kiln-dried red cedar and stainless steel hardware, the sauna is large enough to seat two people, and can be set up in a bathroom, bedroom, recreation room, garage, or an outdoor location such as a backyard or by a pool. This centuries-old Scandinavian custom helps improve circulation, relax muscles, burn calories, relieve arthritic pain, cleanse skin, and relieve stress. Like all true saunas, this model uses hot rocks to create heat. Relative humidity levels are controlled by the bather sprinkling water on the hot rocksa gentle method of heat radiation that prevents the uncomfortable electric toaster feel of electrically heated saunas. Breathable, solid wood construction ensures the interior surface temperature is kept low, while delivering penetrating heat that soothes and relaxes. Free air flow design...See less

(03/16/08) A professor at the University of Tokyo has developed an optical camouflage system that makes a special reflective material seemingly disappear, including the wearer! The picture on the coat is made by a viewfinder which puts together the moving images behind the wearer. It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons to be able to see through their hands and tools and also for pilots so the cockpit floor will be transparent for landings.See less
