Beds are originally meant to be a place of sleep or rest, where you shut your eyes and blank out to the world of dreams. A typical gadget lover wants more out of his bed. In between the time of wakefulness and shuteye, a geek will want to play with his gadgets. The Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed offers more than a sleeping place for the gadget lover.

The Starry Night Sleep Technology Bed includes wireless internet connectivity, an iPod docking station and a plethora of surround sound audio treats, including four 9in sub-woofers. But, rather than simply building an LCD TV into the foot of the bed, the Starry Night has a wall-facing 1080p LCD projector integrated into its headboard to provide a 6000:1 contrast ratio and 2000 lumens of brightness.

One other cool thing about this bed is that the bed’s sides rise automatically to stop snoring, and drop back when the snoring stops. You can also adjust temperature for separately for each side of the bed. I tell you, this is the type of bed I like to sleep on.

The bed is available in the range of $20,000 to $50,000 with the mattress.

I am not a fan of Apple iPod. I used to be until I started using Sandisk Sansa MP3 Player. I found out that it delivered all I want in a portable music player. Currently, I am using the 8GB Sandisk Sansa e280.

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze, at 2.0 inches wide by 3.1 inches tall by 0.3 inches deep, it fits nicely in your hand. The illuminated jog wheel is a nice touch on this good-looking player, too.

The robust feature list includes support for subscription services such as eMusic, Napster, and Rhapsody To Go. You can display video and images on its 1.9-inch screen. The player also has an FM tuner (with 40 presets), a voice recorder, and microSD expandability.

The 4GB costs $100 and is also available in 2GB and 8GB versions, for $80 and $130, respectively.
