iF Log Laptop Pillow: keeps your legs cool and your penis un-burned : Tech Digest

I just stumbled upon something fantastic while writing my last post. Laptops can be really uncomfortable on the thighs. There are forums out there about leg welts and one man even burned his penis with a laptop, but this scorched community can breathe a sigh of relief again.

Throw away your ointments, dispense with you cooling salves because the ultimate in laptops cushions is here. Meet the log pillow.

Now, I've never actually been burned but it does get bloody hot under my Dell and not only is the log pillow super comfy but the lattice structure gives plenty of room for air to circulate and that nasty heat to disappear. Utter joy.

I've e-mailed the designers at iF to find out how much these will cost but in the mean time what I can tell you is that they're made of recycled materials - hemp and organic cotton - and each log snaps together with poppers to keep your computer still and your laptop off your lap.
