9:40AM Adam Frucci | Your shelves officially suck compared to these. They’re Donkey Kong shelves, complete with a monkey, NES, SNES and N64. Oh, and the N64 only has Goldeneye as opposed to a full collection of games. Awesome. [Sprite Stitch via TDW]

StairCASE’s Bottom Shelves Keep Highest Books in Reach
12:30PM Gizmodo US Edition | It’s no surprise that a dude who lives in a city of 18 million people would appreciate the need to conserve space. Shanghai-based artist Danny Kuo created the StairCASE, a bookcase where the shelves slide out to become a stairwell. We’ve seen the amalgamation of shelves and stairs before in London, but StairCASE can be put just about anywhere. The design lets you have a much taller bookshelf (most top out at roughly six feet to accommodate human height), or functions as a way to reach a lofted area for sleeping or storage. I could’ve used something like this in New York. [Danny Kuo via Craziest Gadgets] More »

Plus, just spit-balling here, you could attach another set of skis inverted below the first set to create a gnarly wave effect. [Five Whys via Curbly] More »
