Why pirate Adobe’s software when you can just use their brand and image without permission? Exactly my point. That’s clearly what the creator of these Creative Suite pillows had in mind. Instead of calling it an “Illustrator pillow” or a “Photoshop pillow,” this site chose to say “Blue Pillow with ‘Ps’ Lettering.” Trickery at its finest. $80 for the whole ...

This is a neat deal that Google dreamed up. For a limited time, 10,000 people, myself included, can get 25 free business cards from Google and iPrint.com. The cards have your name inside a search bar and your profile information on the back. Even if you don’t want or need them, you know these will be worth money 50 years ...

Having trouble losing weight? This little patch is about to change all that. It’s being produced by a company called PhiloMetron and here’s how it works: slap it on your arm and sensors will measure your energy and calorie intake. From there, the data is beamed to your phone via Bluetooth where you can measure how much you’ve eaten in ...

What! Look at that chair! No legs on the back! How could a chair with only two front legs stand upright? It simply defies the logic of science and I for one won’t stand for it. I mean who in their right mind would pay $1200 for a chair with two leg-ohhhhhhhh! Now I get it! Link

Say what you will but some people, myself included, happen to like Coldplay. If it weren’t for us fans, why else would the band decide to give away its new live CD “Left Right Left Right Left.” You can get a CD version for free at their concerts or you can download the entire album on Coldplay’s official website. Music ...

Excuse the pun, but do Apple fans really give a “hoot” about owls? Sure, I suppose this Earbud Owl, made using a Epilog Zing laser cutter, does resemble the uber-geeky “O RLY?” macro, but that’s� about the furthest I can go with owl geekiness until I reach the point of obliviousness. Admittedly, this is a pretty neat idea. The owl’s ...

When a problem comes along, you must whip it. Am I right or am I right? Totally just made that up. Sounds like I could write a whole song just with that concept. I’ll whip it up a little later and I’ll whip it good. But for now, let’s check out these awesomely kinky heels, perfect for both private moments ...

Oh, man. The transformation is complete. Barbie is now officially inked. The oldest teenager in the world (can you say “mid-life crisis?”) is now offered a new world of tattoos, thanks to Mattell’s new “Totally Tattoos” line of no-mess decals. No, I am not making this up. Mattell offers a range of 40 tats to disfigure Barbie’s beautiful clear skin, ...

This has got to be one of the coolest themed couches ever created. Montanara by Gaetano Pesce creates the illusion of a mountain scene right in your living room, including cushion waterfalls and jagged support peaks of doom. The picturesque couch makes you feel larger than life as you use nature’s largest objects as your personal lounging tool. Just watch ...

Scott Campbell has a laser-etching machine and a lot of cash to blow. Know how I can tell? The sonofabitch took a bunch of ones (c’mon, go for the Benjamins), stacked them up and cut them into various designs. I love the skull. The best part is the name he came up with for his series of art: Make It ...
