Pillow Made For People Who Sleep On Their Arms

Rejoice, fellow brothers (and sisters) who sleep on their arms! A pillow has finally been created for us. Yes, this pillow is specifically design for people who place their arm under their pillow while they sleep. I happen to be one of the many dreamers who do this and I’m quite surprised I can’t find one of these bad-boys at Walmart.

Wondering why this is such a monumental event? I can’t begin to tell you how much pressure your 10-pound cranium puts on your arm if you sleep on it. Buy your “Arm Sleeper’s Pillow” now.

Neato XV-11 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Cleans With Lasers

One of my biggest gripes about the Roomba is it’s random way of cleaning my floors. Before it broke down (after a year and a half of use) it would clean my carpets fairly well but since it did so in a completely arbitrary fashion, it didn’t clean as well as it should.

Well, a company with one of the most unoriginal names is here to change that. They call themselves Neato. Their newest robot vacuum is called the Neato XV-11 and it uses lasers to scan and map your entire room. Its design isn’t as elegant as Roomba’s circular shape, but it does get the job done efficiently. Using its mapping system, it not only ensures that every inch of floor gets cleaned but it doesn’t waste precious energy on recleaning floor that’s already been covered.

It sounds a lot like the Furot II, but unlike the Furot, it uses the principles of jet engine airflow to pick up the tiniest of dirt and dander. You can order the Neato XV-11 online at Neatos website for $399.

Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory Building Hygiene Products, Not Skate Products

Rob Dyrdek is now loved by more than just skateboarders. With a hit television show and a soaring skateboarding career, it’s no wonder why this young entrepreneur is building his own brand. Dyrdek’s latest product — well, not really “latest” –  is in the smell good department.

TAG Signature Series features the faces of two other celebrities: Carmelo Anthony and rapper extraordinaire, Ludacris. While the deodorant’s name is probably the longest ever (full name: TAG: Signature Series: Make Moves: Rob Dyrdek), it’s by far one of the best smelling men’s deodorant I’ve had the privilege of wearing. I’m not kidding, either. Being that I’ve been in this world for over 25 years, I’ve had my fare share of deodorant testing.

The only downside to the Dyrdek’s deodorant is that it’s a white solid. Sure, the package says “Invisible Solid” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Clumps abound when you stick it to the curb. It also offers painful reminders of the countless commercials for women’s deodorant.

Other than the “invisible solid” issue, Dyrdek and TAG score high in the smell and anti-perspirant areas.

iB Rubinetterie Shower Heads: A Disco While You Wash

Yeah, the lights are gimmicky, but I love the slick design these flat iB Rubinetterie shower heads offer. The lights are supposed to offer “color-therapy,” or what us unwealthy folks like to call “lame.” Nevertheless, the style is totally in. While the iB Rubinetterie lets you choose from a wide array of light settings it also allows you to control how much, or how little, water you want flowing out of them. So, if you want to be dancing in the rain (and seriously, who wouldn’t?) flip it over to full-flow or simply relax on the gentler side in a spring shower.

New Panasonic Light Bulbs Last — Gasp — 19 Years!

Talk about efficient: Panasonic has devised an LED light bulb that last 19 frickin’ years. Think about it folks, how often do you buy light bulbs? Even the new swirly florescent light bulbs don’t last that long. Panasonic has discovered that the key is LED or Light Emitting Diodes. What’s best about the bulb is that it also only costs around $2 to run per year. That’s a lot of savings. Now to the bad part: they’ll cost around $40. Wait! Are you still there? Ok, I know that sounds like a lot, but think of the savings. Not only are they way cheaper to operate than traditional light bulbs but you won’t ever have to replace them in your home ever again. I mean, people move houses every 10 years, right?

Samsung Furot II Ready To Take On Roomba

In the world of robotic vacuum cleaners dominated by Roombas, you wouldn’t think there’d be room for another — especially with iRobot‘s monopoly. Samsung is looking to change that, however, with the introduction of it’s newest robo-vac: Furot II. While not as sexy as the Roomba 550 or any other Roomba for that matter, the Furot II sports better mapping technology than it’s popular cousin.

Samsung has apparently released a little information on the Furot which details some pretty nifty features. The first, which I believe is the most important feature, is it’s new camera and mapping system. Basically it outlines your entire house and remembers every detail so that it never cleans a portion that’s already been cleaned. This, in turn, saves the vacuum time that could be spent on cleaning dirty areas. It also will help the robot remember where it left off should it’s 90-minute rechargeable battery go dead. Some other features include HEPA 11 filter, it knows its way back to its charging station, comes with a two-sided brush to clean those hard-to-reach areas, high suction power (did I even need to put that in there?) and supposedly has an ultra-low level of noise factor. Must buy? You bet.

Unfortunately, no release date or pricing information was given about the Furot II, but I’m sure we’ll hear something soon straight from the horses mouth.

Floating Table Cloth Is A ‘Grand Illusion’

Looking to get yourself a new side table for the house? Have a look at the Grand Illusion, a tablecloth made out of 4mm of acrylic. It was made to trick the eye into thinking you were looking at a floating table, but in reality, it still has the four legs. Handmade by John Brauer out of Germany, you can spot the Grand Illusion on Essey.

Unique Pizza Cutter Would Make ‘Orange County Choppers’ Blush

Do you like pizza? What about things that look like the came straight from a Harley Davidson showroom? Well, have we got a pizza cutter for you. Apparently there’s a man on the web named Frankie Flood. He creates one-of-a-kind pizza cutters, like the one seen above, and I got to admit, it looks freakin’ awesome. These dark, yet beautiful, masterpieces are carefully crafted with painstaken detail.

“[...] The outlaw biker image is a break from the conformity that has taken over America since industrialization.  My machined pizza cutters draw inspiration from chopper motorcycles and attempt to reclaim the mythology and economic usefulness of the American worker as patriarch; translating machine or functional object into flesh and blood.  [...]“

Sign me up for one; hell, two. Now if only he can do the same to my spatula. Could you imagine? Check out more of Fankie’s work at the link below.

Watergate: It’s A Gate, Made With Water

Did your head explode? I know, it’s a hard concept to wrap your head around. The idea is simple, a gate made out of water. Why? Because people will just try to make their way through gates. But, if you knew your clothes would get wet and then you had to explain why your crotch was wet, would you still go through? Probably not. It’s very clever, if you ask me.

Another advantage to the Watergate is during emergencies people could just run straight through the water. Also, being able to run straight through it without being inhibited by steel or metals could potentially be a life saver in large groups.
