TO THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THEIR WORK PROMOTED

Hey guys and gals! We FIND and PROMOTE people's work, we never take credit for things we haven't written, we just love sharing the things that are interesting, but if you don't want your work or pictures shown, please let me know and I'll take it off, we're not trying to harm any one here or infringe on anyone's copyrights, just late night entertainment for my friends and I after a long days of work.

We're not making money off the site, nor are we publishing anything to other places through feedburner claiming that it's our work, just a hobby of finding cool things around the internet, that's all. Sometimes we copy and paste too quickly and a link giving you credit doesn't appear, if that's the case and you DO want your work promoted, we will add in the backlink, we would love to give credit where credit is due!

Please contact me or drop a comment on any posts you guys don't want up and I'll take it off within 24 hours, thanks!

Wake up delighted with the glo Pillow - talk2myShirt

gloPillow.jpgWould you like being waked up by light coming out of the pillow, gently increasing it’s light intensity simulating the natural sunrise?

If you are tired being hit by an alarm clock that gives off a shocking noise you might want to swap your alarm clock with the glo Pillow.

The glo Pillow is the brain child of Ian Walton and teammate Eoin McNally, two inventive designer from Ireland.

Designed as an alternative to the traditional alarm clock to help combat the pressures of the ‘24 hour’ lifestyle many of us are living today, the glo Pillow moves you over from sweet dream land to reality in a natural and more peaceful way.

The pillow uses an LED fabric substrate below the surface to wake the user with light. This LED fabric also functions as a display, showing the time on the pillows surface.

40 minutes before the pre-set alarm time the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. This natural waking process helps to set the circadian rhythm or ‘body clock’ and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns.

Although the glo Pillow is ‘just’ a design study it might be not too long to get it commercialized if companies pick this idea up.

LED fabric substrates are basically available in the form of Philips Lumalive, NYX Jacket display and other demonstrations we have see like the Jacket from Kanye West or the Jackets of Moritz Waldemeyer for OK Go.

The glo Pillow is a very innovative idea which has been recognized in Time MagazinesBest Inventions of 2007‘.

Anyone willing to pick up this idea and get it to the market? It would be a great relieve to everyone who hates that shocking alarm going off every morning killing the sweetest dreams.
