Crocheted White Album vinyl: the perfect addition to a Beatlemaniac's couch

We don’t cover pillows a lot here at CrunchGear, but this was too cool to pass up. I like the idea of knit, crocheted, and plush gadgets — I don’t know if that classifies as a fetish or anything, but I think they’re great. And this cute little crocheted record is no exception.

Lessons in parenting: Here's a baby pillow with a built-in MP3 player

Since being a lousy parent seems to be all the rage these days, here’s another weapon for your doing-the-bare-minimum arsenal.

Geeky OS X pillows now have an official website: Throwboy

You may have seen these nerdy little pillows around back in the day, but until now they haven’t really been readily available. I’ve already resorted to using a big sharpie on my own blank pillows, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Especially when the guy has launched a real live site and store dedicated to the cute little buggers. No third-party apps yet, which is too bad… → Read More

Wake up with the 'glo Pillow'

Good morning CrunchGear readers. Can I get you some coffee? Maybe some gadget news from around the Internet? Take your time getting up — let’s just ease into our Friday here, hmm-kay? How’d you sleep last night?
