<p>Dubbed the Legacy of the River room, the project is the brainchild of Ben Rousseau and architect Ian Douglas-Jones.  These two have previously worked as a team and this year, they decided to team up once again to join the Icehotel competition in Sweden. </p>
<p>Quite obviously, these two are genuine <a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/tag/tron_legacy">TRON: Legacy</a> fans &#8211; a look at their work is enough to convince anyone of that fact!  The guys worked for extended periods of time in freezing temperatures, and while they were provided clothing by Oakley, I still can&#8217;t imagine going through all that!  </p>
<p>On top of the aesthetic value, they made it a point to use sustainable lighting.<br />

I have to have at least two trips in a year to maintain my sanity.  Otherwise, work would just burn me out.  I am not a particularly fussy person but if there is one thing that would convince me about staying in a hotel or resort, it is the fact that they have free wireless Internet access in the rooms.  Perhaps some of you are the same?  Well, you will be interested to hear about the list that PC World came up with:  the best hotels for the geek traveler.  <span id="more-12668"></span></p>
<p>They have a total of nine in their list, here are the most appealing to me.</p>
<p><strong>Hotel Gansevoort</strong><br />
Located in the meatpacking district of New York, rooms don&#8217;t come cheap here. But then, you get free WiFi, 42-inch LCD TVs, CD players, alarm clocks with iPod docks, in room safes, and Wii consoles by request.  Can&#8217;t beat that, can you?</p>
<p><strong>Seattle Hotel Monaco</strong><br />
Considered a boutique hotel, this is relatively low-tech compared to many.  The main selling point for me is their Guitar Hero social hour, from 5:00-6:00 pm.  Perfect time to relax before going out for the night!</p>
<p><strong>Peninsula Tokyo</strong><br />
Of course, we can&#8217;t talk about hi-tech without mentioning Japan.  This hotel has all the hi-tech amenities that one can ever want.  From nail dryers to fax machines to espresso makers to heated toilets &#8211; ultimate hi-tech luxury!</p>
<p><strong>Pod Hotel</strong><br />
For the budget traveler in NYC, this hotel sounds perfect.  Rooms start at less than $100 but you get iPod docking stations, LCD TVs, and their Pod Community Blog, which is a veritable treasure trove of information.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/164882-8/nine_geek_hotels_for_the_traveling_techie.html">whole list here</a>.</p>
