Nike SB goes blue
The Nike SB Packaging has gone blue! This will be the 5th time Nike SB boxes have been changed, and this one does it right again.
It all started with the original Orange/Brown packaging, which later on turned into Silver, then came Pink, Gold, and now Blue. You can expect Blue on all April releases.

I wonder which SB shoe will be coming out in one of these boxes, any blue's clues?
Unique Pillow designs
The Great Slumber aka The blood puddle pillows
The pillows are inspired by those suspenseful moments when a sleeping loved one is a little too still for a little too long. Using an irreverent combination of comfort & fear the pillows parallel sleep & death. Project goal: taking ownership of morbidly intrusive thoughts through humor & play.
- - - - - - - - - - -
averaging size: 16" x 16"
materials: Silk Velvet & Batting.
The Glo Pillow Alarm Clock uses LED fabric substrate to wakes the user using light. This substrate also functions as a display, showing the time on the surface of the pillow
Stone pillows
strictly for the Narcoleptics out there and you know who you are!!!
This should be out in the market very soon.
Check out the specs for I-sleep:
Heating up
By closing the laptop an air cushion blows itself up, which is connected via usb with your computer. The computer is in the "sleep mode" and air is blown into the pillow. The material is coated with Latex at the inside, so the supplied air can be kept inside for a longer time. By opening the laptop again, the air leaves the cushion through an integrated valve.
Making music
By closing the computer a playlist can be activated by a music program. This playlist can be individually created. The titles being played correspond to the duration of the desired sleeping time. Recommended sleeping time is 10 min. More than this you will fall into the deep sleep mode which makes you even more tired by waking up:)
Waking up
After the last music title being played or 10 min of silence passed, the possibility exists to be waken up. The waking time, the waking tone are individually adjustable.
The Icon Pillow Collection Hand Crafted » Filled with polyester fibers » 100% Fleece
You can get these for $29 US each or a set for $140 US
* Stylish pillows look like giant pieces of sushi
* Completely hand made in the USA
* Pillows are approximately 15" long x 8" high depending on type

I always feel like somebodys watching me
Did you know the song's success was derived from the presence of Michael Jackson's recognizable voice on the chorus. The Jacksons were one of the last elements added to the recording and it reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984.

Is it twitter a journey or is it a destination?
Well you can find out by signing up and trying it yourself.
Biggie's last party
Here is never before seen footage from the infamous night at the Petersen Automobile Museum. In the clip, you see P. Diddy, DJ Clue, Missy Elliott, and other hip-hop stars having a grand ol time. The most ironic and chilling part is at the 6:07 mark, when Ed Lover gets on the mic and gives a rest in peace shout out to 2Pac. Little did he know, he'd be doing the same thing a few hours later.

Through the eyes of a hawk
This is Blackhawk Pilot Michael Grieco who flies medical evacuation missions over in Iraq.
I met him earlier this year when he returned back home to the states and I must say I saw something different through his eyes than anyone else I have met.
You can tell he's seen things that I will never ever see in my entire life.
He recently came back into the states and brought back a few flags that he flew while he was out in Iraq. His job was saving our soldiers and getting them to safety as fast as possible and if they needed medical aide he was responsible to get them there.
The flag which will fly over City Hall to show solidarity for the brave men and women defending our nation flew during the war in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Always remember there are those that are in the struggle that risk their lives on the daily...
