I will let you into a little secret; sometimes I fall asleep at my desk, so therefore it must happen to other people too! Which is good because on the one hand it makes me feel a little better and it give me the chance to show you this neck tie?

Of course this is no ordinary neck tie; it is a blow up neck tie! Oh yes, so when you feel a little bit tired simply blow the tie up and you have a nice cushion to rest your head on, it’s much better than waking up with Post It note stuck to your head!

Here are the specs and details for the blow up tie:

This astonishing technological breakthrough is by far the most innovative advancement in history. What appears to be a very high quality, normal, silk Tie is actually a very high quality, Pillow-Tie. All you need to do is pop out a small valve on the backside of the tie, blow, and voila! Your Pillow awaits. Then pop the same valve out for a moment of deflation when you’re rested. PURE GENIOUS!

by David Allen on September 7th, 2010

The lack of a physical keyboard has not put off people from buying the iPhone and raving about how wonderful it is, but secretly some users do crave to use proper keyboard with QWERTY keyboard and just the general feel of a key under their fingers.

That is possible with the NUU mini key, is not just a keyboard its primary job is that of being a case for the device, it just opens up to reveal the keyboard as a bonus.

It is not ready for the market just yet, but is due to hit the retail stores before the end of the year and is expected to have a $69 price tag, which is not too bad, so long as that part is true!
