Keyboard carpet that actually works
Have a "Tom Hanks in Big" day

Most of us watched the Disney classic, Big, when we were, well, little, and were so jealous that Tom Hanks got to bounce around on a giant keyboard playing chopsticks.
Well this is not a piano keyboard but a computer keyboard but you could have just as much fun jumping on this carpet - it's definitely a novel way of getting an email out.
Electronics hacker Maurin Donneaud created the huge keyboard carpet for his living room, punching hundreds of holes under each letter to guarantee that the conductive switches would pick up his socked feet.
Definitely as much exercise as th Nintendo Wii and you could actually get some work done too!
(And just because we're nice and it's a Friday afternoon - hit the arrow button for a clip of that oh so nostalgic Big moment.)
