Sound Asleep Pillow is music to your ears, and only your ears



Do you have issues falling asleep at night? I can’t really complain about falling asleep, it’s just staying that way that becomes an issue for me. However, for those of you that like to have some sort of noise (like music) playing when you lie down, you might want to check out the Sound Asleep Pillow. This pillow features an interesting built-in speaker that will play music only for the person lying on it.


I’ve seen a number of pillows that promise the world, but this has to be one of the first of its kind. It uses a speaker buried in the pillow to transmit sound that is only audible to those with their head on it. This is great because many times your spouse doesn’t want to listen to your music, and earbuds can be painful if left in overnight.

One corner features a headphone jack that allows you to hook up the speaker to your MP3 player of choice and allows you to select the music that you want to fall asleep to. The Sound Asleep Pillow can be had for just over $40. Just remember that any investment that helps you sleep better is always worth it. Provided that it does indeed help.

Duracell PowerSource keeps your laptop running an extra 2 hours



If you’re anything like me, you tend to carry around a multitude of gadgets. Naturally, when any of these go dead while I’m away from an outlet, I tend to go into a panic. I try my best to keep them all charged up, but sometimes you just can’t help it. That’s why it’s handy to have some backup power for your gadgets.
Duracell has recently launched their PowerSource Mobile 100 unit which promises to provide more than a little extra juice to your portable devices. It features two USB ports and a single AC outlet which will let you power just about anything. This little guy isn’t like some other solutions that only powers your cell phone for an hour or so. This particular gadget will power a laptop for up to two hours, a cell phone for 18 hours (that’s talk time) or an MP3 player for up to 96 hours of play time.
Obviously, not all devices are created equally, so you’ll have to take those times with a grain of salt. One thing is for sure though, you’ll get plenty of juice out of this guy. It does however come with a hefty price tag. While it will set you back $140, it will definitely show its worth the first time your laptop dies on the road.
