Behind the Scenes

Part of the first floor of our building is in a transition period, having recently been vacated by the prior tenant to make room for our expanding office needs. Currently, it's filled with, well, nothing, and my thought is it would make an excellent roller rink until we determine how to more productively use it.

Last week, seen in this photo, it was used to film some cool web videos for the upcoming Mirage product launches. It's amazing to me how the finished product can look so professional, clean, and bright, yet the behind the scenes look dark, gloomy, and mysterious. It's how I imagine Hollywood, on a slightly larger scale.

I could no longer resist the adorableness of these little powerhouse speakers from Mirage, and bought this pair to take home with me yesterday. The best thing about them? They are potty trained, won't chew my furniture, and don't require shots. And are still freakin cute. I think I'll name them.

How Much is that Speaker in the Window?

The Nanosat Prestige Satellite is one of the more recent products from Mirage, a brand we acquired a couple years ago and are continuously learning about. This little guy (about 6" x 4" x 4") has a magnetically attached dome grille, but I thought the unique design underneath made for a more interesting photo.

The real wood veneer (yes, real wood) is lacquered by hand in a high-gloss finish to look and feel very cool. Made with a patented Omnipolar technology, they sound great no matter where you are in the room, are surprisingly powerful, and also surprisingly heavy.

The most compelling thing about these for me, however, is the sheer cuteness. They are so doggone cute, I found myself cuddling with this one like a puppy as we walked around looking for interesting photo opps. If it had the ability to look up at me, I probably would have taken it home, powerless to resist.

$175 each.
