Hug me pillow

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but …

uh, yeah, maybe its that CREEPY pillow that is making you dizzy and blue and freakin out your dreams.

Yeah, that is weird. Overstock is selling these "hug me pillows" that were apparently modeled after Brad Pitt (I guess that means no chest hair?)


Read the comments at Overstock, the are fairly humorous, for example:
"I LOVE the hug-me pillow. I sleep with 5 of them, it makes me feel like i'm in bed with a whole family.I've always felt there was something missing in my life, a void. I can't explain it but I now feel like one complete person. thank you hug me pillow!"

What to say?
The picture says it all...
"Well yeah, it was a bit cold out, so I grabbed an old iron and a lead acid battery, and well, there it is."

Steampunk Keyboard II

Yes, the Scrabble keyboard was cool, but this is WAY cooler!



AND, the directions for making your own are on the makers website!
So that means that you could put the keys in the Dvorak Layout. Unfortunately this project appears to be rather complex and requires tools that most people don't have just hanging around. :( BUT, its still pretty cool!

PS I think that the guy lives in or near Groton Ma

Flaming Lotus Girls

Its REALLY hard for me to NOT watch a video with the keywords
industrial arts
sculpture
steel
fire

This is a video about the Flaming Lotus Girls from the West Coast, they make, well, like the keywords say: Industrial art using steel and fire. :) The group is predominantly women, but that's not the point...
