SMOKE BREAK #992: Viral “Ostrich Pillow” Concept Becoming A Kickstarter Reality

If we napped in the office or could sleep on planes we’d have put the Ostrich Pillow in the Cool Things We Want thread when the concept went viral a while back. Now the personal “micro environment” is actually becoming a viable product with Kickstarter funding (53% of target at the time of writing). Do we want it now? Not particularly. But we wouldn’t mind trying it out just to see what we’d look like if we’d been fathered by Admiral Ackbar. Bonus: total win for agoraphobes!
