Azoo Eco-Desk Puts a Self-Cleaning Aquarium in Your Desk
I'm pretty sure Missy Elliot had something similar to Azoo's Eco-Desk, which has a self-cleaning tropical fish aquarium contained within a glass and aluminum body. Alas, hers was made by Lamborghini, so this is the poor man's / international female hip-hop star's iteration, but it's still a bit of cool for your apartment. The glass top rests on a hinged support, which can be pulled open to allow Nemo to escape back home, or better yet, add some company to the captives inside. The aquarium contains Azoo's solution for biological, water and temperature control, meaning you don't have to worry about anything other than why your Coi Carp look so damn uncomfortable.

The Local River is an aquarium-vegetarium (hang on a minute) by Mathieu Lehanneur, the same guy who thought up last year's Bel Air plant filtration system. Using the same curved white design that tickled our fancy with the Bel Air last year, the Local River is a home storage system for fish and greens that is inspired by the Locavores movement of San Francisco, people who only eat food grown within a 100-mile radius.

Microsoft Research: Trident Workbench for Zissou Wannabees
The major thing consumer press does not actively recognize is how much support Microsoft gives the research world. Everyone covered Worldwide Telescope. But at their Techfest a few weeks ago, one of the most impressive and seemingly selfless feats of the company was in the Trident platform, an oceanographic visualization tool. In short, researchers have always had tons of data for currents, migratory paths of animal sea life, temperature and weather over and in the deep blue. But what to do with that data has always been a major problem. Believe it or not, researchers were required to manually create visual representations of their info, or drown in excel sheets.

Octopus Studios' Silverfish Aquarium Is 1980s' Future Fish Tank Now
The Octopus Studios' Silverfish Aquarium (see BBGadgets for bookworm joke that, I'll be honest, took me a second) is one of those things you wish you had right up until the day you get it, then you spend a couple of years wondering what you were thinking. Sure, its six orbs of sturdy clear PMMA plastic are future funky in a retro-1980s Schwartzenegger-movie kind of way, and the advertised "easy installation" of this $3,400 complete-kit aqua-sculpture is certainly believable. But the minute green filth starts to build up in the linking tunnels, or one of your gouramis goes belly up in a lower-quadrant globe, well, that's it for fun with fish. [Octopus via BBGadgets]
Hype Sheet: Electrocution is Comcastic!
The Pitch A harried mother, her face creased with exhaustion and dread, pleads with her son's principal via telephone. It seems that little Sammy's been expelled on account of some violent malfeasance. Mom promises that her demonic offspring has seen the light, but Sammy proves otherwise in the background; he inserts a vacuum in the family aquarium, just to see the fishies die. Fire and mayhem result, though all involved are lucky to be alive—water plus electrical appliances generally equal tragedy, no? (Or at least so I learned in the first scene from The Believers). It's the perfect setup for an insurance ad, but don't be fooled: The product on offer here is Comcast Digital Voice, the cable Goliath's phone service. "Your phone calls won't change, they'll just cost less," the narrator promises. But is this money-saver really such a revelation, especially compared to VoIP upstarts like Vonage?

The Office for Metropolitan Architecture has designed this stunning 247,569-square-foot Science Centre for the Hamburg Hafencity, which is part of the Hamburg harbor, one of the largest ports in the world. The stunning ring design is composed of 10 modular blocks, and it will include a science theater, aquarium, theater, offices, laboratories and retail area. It may be their painterly nature, but the rest of the rendering makes it look quite surreal, in a Matrix-meets-Tetris kind of way.
More »Spaceariums Put All Other Aquariums to Shame
Aquariums are pretty neato decorations, even if you need to imprison a bunch of fish that your kids will try to emancipate after they see Finding Nemo. But if you think a regular old aquarium is cool, take a gander at the Spacearium. Suspended from the ceiling, lit up all slick-like, and can be used as a room divider if you so desire.More »

Area Man Parks Car On House Roof, Tells Police "GPS Made Me Do It"
CHICKASHA, Oklahoma (Agencies). Chickasha resident James McFarlan, a 45-year-old computer analyst and part-time fabric designer, drove this morning into Annie Svenson's home roof after what he referred to as an incident with his car GPS. "I told him [Sheriff Furillo] that my GPS made me do it. I was just driving when the nice sexy voice inside the box told me to turn left while I was driving through the bridge on Frisco and 62nd," said McFarlan after being released by the police. "She was like, come on, do it. Do it! Dooooo iiiit!!!" The next thing McFarlan recalls is 78-year-old retiree Mrs. Svenson in her nightgown, knocking on his windshield.

Japanese Aquarium Bathroom Makes You Feel Like a Mermaid While You Go #2
You think your bathroom is awesome? It's not. Check out this Japanese bathroom that's built into an aquarium, featuring a peeping tom of a turtle and a bunch of fish with no dignity. It's a ladies' room, so there are no dudes allowed, unfortunately. It cost $270,000 to build, which is a lot for a bathroom but not that bad for a gigantic aquarium. And you thought running the faucet made it easier to go. [Pink Tentacle]Wall Mounted Aquarium is the Next Best Thing to a TV
Aqua Photo, a Korean based company, did the most logical thing to an aquarium, they mounted it on the wall and made it look like a TV. With specs that sound more like a TV rather than a fish tank, this aquarium has a 1460 x 640 cm measurement, 100 watt back light, and a 35 fish capacity. At $2132, the Aqua Photo Wall Mounted Aquarium even has the huge price of an expensive TV. [Uber-Review via tfts]

Wi-Fi Fish Tank Lets You Care for Your Goldfish From Afar
Thanks to the magic of technology, soon you won't have to rope one of your friends into feeding your fish when you go on vacation. Mohamad Abou El-Nasr, an assistant professor at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology in Egypt, has developed the Wi-Aquarium, a Wi-Fi–equipped fish tank that allows you to feed your fish, control the lights, filter, and temperature, and even see your fish over the internet using a webcam. It'll even send you an email daily on the status of your precious aquatic friends. Now you'll never have to come home to a floater again — at least not one you weren't ready for because you saw it a few days ago via the webcam feed.
