This Is The Next Best Thing To Twittering In Your Sleep About Butter

Matt Buchanan — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Well, that’s what I dream about anyway. Covered in spicy chocolate sea salt. Oh yes, the pillows. Two versions, Tweetie for Mac or Tweetie 2, $US15 a piece or $US25 for both. Mmmm butter. [MySuiteStuff, Thanks John!]

Throwboy Halloween Pillows Add Some Boo To The Mac OS X Finder

This Halloween I’m planning to dress up as the Spinning Beach Balls of Death. Basically, gut one of these Throwboy Halloween Finder Pillows, put it on my head, and go around New York naked.

Throwboy—the people who do the chat pillows and Mac OS X pillows — says you can get each of the 9 by 11-inch pillows for $US29, or the whole set for $US100. [Throwboy]

Xbox 360 Controller Pillows Actually Look Extremely Comfortable

Now that I’m seeing this handmade Xbox 360 pillow, I can see how the natural contours of the controller might actually be easier on my lower back then they are on my hands.

Unfortunately, this large-scale version was a one-off gift for a lucky boyfriend, but there just happens to be similar neck pillows available right now on eBay. Seriously, it’s like the design team working for Microsoft had a background at Tempur-Pedic or something. [Thread Banger via Technabob]

OMG Chat Pillows FTW

Jesus Diaz — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:00:00 +0000

The Throwboy people are at it again with more pillows for 21st century boys and girls. Now with chat dialogs with common chat phrase contractions, from WTF to FTW, going through OMG and BRB. Wait, no TFSU? For shame. [Throwboy]

Cmd + Z Mac Pillows Won’t Actually Undo Last Night

These Cmd+Z Mac pillows are the most functional geek pillows we’ve seen—you know, if they actually did take back all the horrible things you did last night so you could do them all over again. [Etsy via Cult of Mac]

Japanese Toilet Kneeler Puts You Closer To the Action

Jason Chen — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:00:00 +0000

Splashes become a worry once you hit the high end of five feet, which is why this Japanese “Angels Knee Pillow” is a decent alternative, even if it is a little degrading.

The pillows come in two options, a split-mode one and a larger, single unit variety. It’s pretty gross when you think about getting your junk THAT close to the toilet, but even grosser if you’re so short that your goods actually touch the rim of the bowl. An easier solution would be just to pee sitting down. [House Doctor via Inventor Spot via Crunch Gear]

This Is the Best Laptop in the World (Or At Least the Softest)

Jesus Diaz — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:20:00 +0000

MacBooks, netbooks, schmbooks. Nothing can beat a laptop that lets you nap on top of it without getting keyboard marks on your face—like the ones I get with my current one. [Likecool]

Adobe Creative Suite Pillows Are All About Design

Sean Fallon — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:00:00 +0000

The movement to turn all of our furniture into a fluffy application dock continues with this handmade Adobe Creative Suite collection.

The set includes icons for Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash, InDesign, and Dreamweaver. That should be enough for anyone, but if you want to go the extra mile you might want to pick up a Photoshop shirt. The idea is that while wearing it and sitting on your Adobe couch, you physically complete the theme. [mysuitestuff via Design Milk]

Ctrl-Alt-Del Cushions Reboot Your Living Room Style

Sean Fallon — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:20:00 +0000

Mac fans have their OSX pillows and now Windows dorks have their own Ctrl-Alt-Del version.

Picking up the set will cost you $US60, but I feel that it is time to take a stand against the throw pillow scourge. Whenever I see a mount of pillows on a piece of furniture I want to reboot them right out the window. [Etsy via Swissmiss via Tech Digest]

Pillow Keyboard For Napping On The Job

Sean Fallon — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:10:00 +0000

With all the work that needs to be done, it’s often difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Knowing this, some Russian dudes with a vision have decided to create a working pillow keyboard.

You can work, catch a bit of rest at your desk, then wake up and get right back to it. What could be more efficient than that? Productivity will skyrocket! You’ll wake up with QWERTY (or the Russian equivalent) stamped across your forehead! It’s a win for you aaaand a win for your co-workers. [Project Page]
