The oxygen tank lamp is, unfortunately, not powered by oxygen. It runs on electricity, but that does not stop it from looking really, really cool. If you are going for an industrial / mad scientist look for your home, putting together something like this would be a pretty good start. It is a real oxygen bottle, with real gauges but does not actually hold oxygen (for obvious reasons).
If you want a price you are going to have to ask the artist. [Yab Design via Nerd Approved, Oh Gizmo]

New year, new start. The fine people of planet Earth have made their New Year’s resolutions with most breaking them before you even finish reading this page. Maybe all you need is the right gear to make the resolution last longer than a day. Here is a look at the top ten New Year’s resolutions (based on Google’s top match) and the gadgets that may help. Enjoy.
Get into shape
If you think you are just “big boned” or if you prefer, “husky”, it’s time to get off the couch and start getting back in shape.
To help you with that, the Power Plate produces a vibration through which energy is transferred from the platform to the body. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the selected frequency, results in muscles vigorously contracting 30 to 50 times per second getting you in shape in no time.
If you can’t get off the couch maybe the couch bike is the answer for you 
Quit Smoking
For those who have an affinity for coffin sticks the Cigarette Counter may help you with cessation of all things tobacco. By using it daily you will become aware of how much your really smoking and hopefully wean yourself off. Clip the counter to each cigarette pack top (or side, in soft-packs), and it is easily activated by pressing the on/off button.
If counting is not your thing, you can try the Locking Cigarette Case which only opens on set timed intervals. $35.00.
Spend more Time with Family and Friends 
What better way to help you spend time with family and friends than Table Hockey.
For the ultimate table hockey game on the planet you can check out the CLASSIC by Artizan. Molded 3-D players, zero dead spots over the entire ice surface, Real mesh nets, and a fully electronic gondola make for a great game. It’s also the world’s largest table hockey or rod hockey game with a dimension of almost 4′ x 7′, good enough for two to six players .
Quit Drinking
Determined on keeping out of your Baby Duck sparkling wine collection? The Lock Stop is simply to use, just get someone to set the code, place in the top of your favorite sauce and twist until the unit becomes firm.
approx. $27 US
Enjoy Life More 
International man of mystery approved, this shag-a-delic mobelform Rotating swivel bed is run by remote control. Guaranteed to add a new spin to your life.
Get Out of Debt

Simply plug it into your PC’s USB port, use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and VOIP away. It currently works with imtel and Skype. If you you travel, say good bye to roaming fees.
For anyone that has little ones, Crayons are priceless especially in restaurants. They also break into little pieces and end up all over the floor. Now you save some cash and recycle old worn crayons into new ones with the Crayola Crayon Maker. Price: $23.99
When you save your money, your going to have to put it some where. The Time is Money Clock is a good answer.
Help Others
You watch all the medical shows (ER, Scrubs, MASH, you get the picture) and you feel watching all that medical drama makes you an honorary medical resident. If you need to put your advanced medical training to use the LifeStat is an emergency airway device for use in respiratory obstruction or failure. This innovative device facilitates a lifesaving method in emergencies when other efforts have failed. LifeStat is small enough to fit on your key ring. Price $135 [via Book of Joe] . If a Bic pen or a straw is more your style you can go here .

Get Organized
The Garmin Nuvi combines a GPS navigator, language translator and travel guide capability, an MP3 player, an audio book player, a currency and measurement converter, a calculator, a world clock, and a digital photo viewer and organizer, all in a slim device. It even comes with a rubber suction cup for sticking to your car windshield. The nuvi can also be powered by a PC/USB cable connected to a computer. Price $1,000.00.
Lose weight 
Jogging is good exercise as long as you do not get hit by a car. That is where the StrideLite Strobe Jacket comes into the picture, it’s made up of 24 micro thin Electroluminescent lamps that strobe away letting those nice people in big cars know of your whereabouts. The 2 AA batteries are good for about 300 hours and are incased in a waterproof shell and the lights are good for 20000 hrs. With all that longevity, the jacket will more than likely last longer than your exercise regime.
If after all that jogging and you still can’t fit into those pants you can always slip a waistband button over the button of your pants to add an extra inch to the waistband. Our little secret.
Save money
Turn any window into a giant solar panel. XSunX says that it has developed a thin, semi-transparent coating for glass windows making it a see-through solar panel. The product is still in development but it should cost one quarter of what traditional panels cost. [via]
