What Wired staffers bought this month
I love listening to songs on my iPod, but I hate headphones - they're uncomfortable, keep others from catching my groove, and are downright dangerous when I'm driving. The iTrip plugs into my iPod's headphone jack and broadcasts an FM signal to any radio within a foot or two. Voilé - 'phones-free music compatible with any stereo. Finally, there's something good on the radio. - Robert Levine
iTrip: $35, www.griffintechnology.com
If I'm spending the equivalent of two pairs of Pradas on a desk chair, it'd better be as sexy as it is comfortable. The Life chair has exquisite lumbar support and adjustable orbital armpads that I'd only notice if they weren't there. From scads of combinations, I chose reddish-brown (aka Earth) upholstery with an aluminum frame and clear casters, which fits me as perfectly as my old designer mules. - Jessie Scanlon
Life chair: $756, www.knoll.com
I needed to squeeze a fourth computer into my cramped apartment. Another tower PC? Only if I ditched the bed. But at just 12 x 8 x 7 inches, Shuttle's sleek minibox fits in my sock drawer. The DIY case comes with a badass motherboard, and it's a snap to add the latest components. Now the rest of my tech arsenal looks oversized and out of style. - Brian Lam
SN41G2: $359, www.shuttle.com
