London Calling In Hollywood: A Hip New Luxury Hotel
Situated in the Hollywood Hills along the famous Sunset Strip, overlooking fabulous views of the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills skylines, The London West Hollywood is convenient to all that the city has to offer - from couture shopping and sizzling nightlife, to cultural attractions and theme parks, to major movie and recording studios.
Distinctively designed and highly habitable, with service that is intuitive and unobtrusive, the former Bel Age hotel has been 're-articulated' by a stunning team of innovative international talent. The London West Hollywood, like its Manhattan sister, The London NYC, redefines the notion of hotel luxury with comfort, access, and modern glamour.
Interiors by David Collins Studio. An aesthetic innovator and tastemaker who masterfully combines space and style, London-based designer David Collins Studio is creating interiors that are wholly original and effortlessly livable, while remaining as sensitive to traveler's tastes as they are to their LA surroundings. With its fluid shapes, exceptional materials, and intelligent proportions, Collins' design is a celebration of splendor and utility.
Dining by Gordon Ramsay. The London West Hollywood welcomes the West Coast debut of celebrated chef Gordon Ramsay, who will recreate the Hollywood culinary scene within the hotel's new dining and lounge venues. Ramsay will premiere fine dining inspired by the exquisite cuisine and unparalleled services of his successful London and Manhattan establishments, but accented with a distinct West Coast American vitality. Guests will also enjoy Ramsay's exemplary menu in the intimacy of their suite with a special in-suite dining menu. Chef Ramsay and his staff will also be in charge of all dining for Meetings and Private Events.
Bath environments by Waterworks. Blending a classic sense of creativity with timeless craftsmanship, Waterworks has developed made-to-order fixtures, bath linens, and robes. Inspired by Collins' harmonious architecture and The London's commitment to comfort, Waterworks and Collins are bringing bliss to the bath-and to the entire guest experience.
Fitness center and spa to open soon.

With Jonas Samson's high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it's possible to use a two-dimensional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned off, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.

"Jim, I'm a Blogger, Not A Trekkie"
Or: "He's Dead, Jim."
(If you don't know that reference or the one in the title, you'd better skip this post)
I've noticed that this fun compilation of one of Doctor McCoy (aka Bones) most famous catch phrases from the original Star Trek TV series,"He's Dead, Jim" is making the internet rounds. This, of course, led me to look for a compilation of his other most famous catchphrase... "Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a (insert profession or object here)".
Lest you think I made an error...the quote is NOT "Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor not a..." as has often been misquoted, because Bones never swore on the actual show.
Given that I'm a blogger, it's clear I'm not hiding my ubergoober-ness from anyone anymore. So, I guess it's safe for me to come out of the campy sci-fi closet. By now you've figured out that I'm a star trek fan. NO, not a trekkie or trekker, (however, admittedly I did attend one star trek convention years ago ...but only as the date of a journalist for E!) just a fan of the original series.
Below is a video montage of scenes from the original gene roddenberry star trek series (which, by the way...only ran for three years) in which the ship's doctor, Bones, makes his daily declaration to Captain Kirk about the demise of either a unknown ensign crew member or alien.
And, for the rest of those fans, fanatics, trekkers, trekkies, I happily found a compilation of his other most often uttered phrase, but it dosn't include all of them- it's kind of a mini version. But it does include my personal favorite from the episode guest starring Julie Newmar in which he claims' I'm a Doctor, Not An Escalator":

Wikipedia info for you:
Leonard H. McCoy (nicknamed "Bones"), played by DeForest Kelley, is the Doctor character in the original Star Trek series, and the first six Star Trek films. The character does not appear in the two pilots for the series, "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before"; the ship's doctors in those episodes are Philip Boyce (John Hoyt) and Mark Piper (Paul Fix), respectively.
If anyone find a more complete compilation of the "I'm A Doctor, Not A..." phrases, let me know...

Acrylic Headboards & More From Swedish Designer Myrica Berggvist
Above: furniture and product designer Myrica Berggvist with some of her creations
Myrica grew up in a home filled with furniture by Scandinavian designers such as Carl Malmsten, Alvar Aalto and Josef Frank and that, together with her five years in Rome’s classical, conservative architecture and Italy’s decadent dolce vita, has a strong influence on her designs.
Sheerhome has bought together a new and innovative collection of acrylic headboards by Swedish designer Myrica Berggvist:
Above the led illuminated Sir Elton headboard is available from Sheerhome or from Huset
In addition to headboards Myrica makes napkin rings, lamps and bowls with the same acrylic laser cutting:

New App For iPhone: Ushow Video Recorder!
With the growing popularity of the Flip Ultra video recorder (which I blogged about as one of my picks for christmas gifts this past year), I wondered when iphone was going to have an easy-to-use video recorder. Well, I can stop wondering.
uShow is a video recording and video sharing application for the iPhone. Still in development, the application did have a closed beta testing quite a ways back, so it should be available soon.
It sounds as though you can share your video creations easily on social networks such as YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, Friendster, Metacafe, and Photobucket. In addition, you'll be able to e-mail the video or save it directly to your iPhone.
The site is clearly new and still has many sections 'under construction' and told to 'check back soon', but there is a sign up list for all you iPhone-ophiles to join the beta registration as of this sunday night (4/20).
Click on the images below to enlarge:
Don't forget, sign up here on april 20th!
Note: They obviously have a good sense of humor since their sign up page for the beta registration on 4/20 has Cheech and Chong on it. If you don't get the correlation between 4/20 and Cheech and Chong, that's your loss.
