  • We've all done it--used our luggage as a seat while waiting in endless lines at the airport. But Dutch designer Erik De Nijs took that action to a whole new level when he created Suited Case, a collection of suitcases that can be fitted together to create a couch. Says the artist, "When a familiar object from home is taken with you on a trip you feel much more at ease. And which object is more familiar then your own comfortable couch." [Neatorama]

  • Living like a modern-day Jack Kerouac is the newest trend. Take the Dudley family. Dad Dave lost his job and, figuring it would cost his family $3,000 per month to continue to live in their house or $300 per month to live in an RV, he and his wife decided to pack up the kids and live on the road, or "Anywhere, U.S.A." Find out how they do it on this Today show special, or learn about how other families are living on the road at FamiliesOnTheRoad.com. [TODAY]
