A little bit of art for your Monday afternoon from an expected source. At first glance you could mistake this for some sort of abstract expressionist painting. The source however is not a skilled artist applying paint to canvas, but rather the dirty interior of a printer after a toner explosion. Not quite as sexy. More

A few weeks ago, we reported about a latte printer that printed images on foam. Now you can print things on your toasts as well. The Scan Toaster printer is the brainchild of South Korean designer Sung Bae Chang. More

A few weeks ago we found Flickr photos of the offices of Matthew Williams Design. A particular photo caught our attention, a shot of what was happening behind Matthew's desk. The photo had a link to what his office previously looked like and we have to say we like the changes. Above are the before and after. After contacting Matthew we found out the designer had a lot of great finds and resources we thought we should share... More

Our associates at Re-nest have a good point: printers are one of the largest contributors to e-waste in our country. Since it's Green month, we thought we'd sum up a few ways you can deal with that broken laser printer of yours when seems like it has outlived its lifetime. More

This week we welcomed three trial bloggers, Taryn, Taylor, and Range (though we're tempted to nickname him T-Range to keep with the T theme). One of these bloggers ended up with a top ten post this week. Congrats Taylor. Unplggd readers seem to be digging your home networking post. After the jump a full rundown of the ten posts you guys found the most intriguing this week... More

Here's Range again, giving us the scoop on shopping for cheap tech in Asia. This time he goes into the art of haggling...

One more introduction. Range is trying out to be our special correspondent from Asia. He's a Canadian splitting his time between Taipei, Taiwan and Quebec City, Quebec Canada. He has a photo project online called 366 Photos, where he takes a photo a day and posts it on his blog.

One of the best things about either visiting or working in Asia is getting access to the latest technologies made in Taiwan and Japanese factories. Most gadgets come out these two countries first, sometimes as much as a year before they're released in North America, and on the cheap.

All of this tech can be found in the cities' technology markets, a Costco of sorts for all things gadget. They can overwhelming to say the least. I remember my first visit. I was so overwhelmed that I just walked around for an hour and left without buying anything...

We're weren't quite sure at first whether Canon got into the beach pail market at first glance of their SELPHY CP770 printer. The portable printer sports a 2.5" color TFT screen ontop, accepts a myriad of memory cards, produces 300 x 300 dpi dye-sub waterproof prints, and also works wirelessly with a Bluetooth-enabled device and optional Bluetooth adapter. It will not help you build better sand castles though. Check out it in action under the jump... More

A couple weeks ago when we discussed the trouble with hiding cables, Unplggd reader kdkaboom mentioned her set-up. We asked her to send over some pictures and she did! Katy's hideaway for all her home office peripherals jump starts a new section here on Unplggd called "Close-Up." This new category will give us a chance to magnify the rad tech solutions other people have.

Name: Katy Maslow and Peter Maslow

Location: Midwood, Brooklyn. It’s a Co-Op bought 20 years ago by our single mom of three children, then taken over by us kidz when she moved out of NYC.

Years Lived In: It's the apartment we moved into when I was seven years old! So, off and on since 198...6?

What's your philosophy on how to integrate your technology into your living space?: Love it, live with it, or hide it. Or do as our mom does…sew covers for it! In different fabrics for the different seasons.

After the jump a close-up of Katy's "Closet of Doom"...

Do you have a great set-up? Email us snapshots and a brief description.

While perusing Flickr for décor ideas we came upon a New Yorker's solution for packing a media center, library, and home office in one wall within her small bedroom.

Using Ikea's Ivar shelving unit as her base, Gail built out folding doors, a turntable tray, a keyboard tray, and a desk...
