I’m a simple man. I don’t ask for much, I try to do the right thing. So why must everything I want be priced at $500? Take this mobile desk, for example: part tricycle, part desk, all awesome (except the price tag, of course).
Andrew Liszewski of OhGizmo! says that he wants this thing for his next trade show. I know exactly how he feels. I’d trade a little bike seat chaffing for swollen, blister-ridden feet at CES this January. And there’d be the added bonus of impromptu desk races every time the two of us bumped into each other on the show floor.
There’s a two-person version available for $1000 as well, which offers a savings of zero dollars over the single version yet takes up more space. And if you have a big person and a small person trying to maneuver it around, it’d probably just keep spinning in circles due to the variation in available leg thrusting power.

That looks comfortable. I need a back rest.
What’s this? Comfortable it’s not. I don’t get it. Why do you want this? Uh-oh, I think I get it now — it’s about crotch stimulation for boys, right? This screams crotch blisters to me — ewwww! And I often work 12-hour days. It’s impossible. It’s sadistic. If it had pedals you could at least get some exercise while you work.
Well, it is Halloween so a screamer as scarey as this, particularly at $500, is appropriately seasonal, I guess. (I’m trying to be positive)
Back when you WERE riding tricycles, and it was just a couple days until Halloween, you were probably both excited and scared just beginning your trick-or-treat career. You can tell just how anxious little guys are by the questions they ask — over and over again — about expectations for Halloween night. Of course, with your issues on over-stimulation, you probably peed in your costume before you got out the front door. Ethic Soup blog has a great post on trick-or-treating and other Halloween posts both funny and truly scarey at:

If this seriously scares you I am glad I don’t know you, and will likely never be around when something truly scary happens to you.
It’s a gadget blog lady. Get used to random crap that no sane person wants being idolized for little to no reason.
500 bucks…that’s outrageous!!!
$500.00!! The wheels make it look awful. it doesn’t even look comfortable. Awful.
Normally I’d eagerly accept a race challenge anytime and anywhere the gauntlet’s thrown down, but I’m afraid at last year’s CES I wrapped my old Mobile Desk around a light pole after a long night of ‘what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’ shenanigans…
