My RSS reader (Google Reader is my choice) has become somewhat of an addiction. I have filled my reader with more subscriptions than I could ever read in one sitting, but what can you do, knowledge is power right?

I think this awesome RSS Icon Pillow would remind me that I have plenty of feeds sitting, waiting on the net for me to read. In other words, a reminder to get my ass out of bed earlier. Anything that can motivate you to wake up in the morning is a good thing. Might just have to pick one up, only $15.

Don’t forget to add Gearfuse to your feed readers for awesome gadgets, design tech news and all-around geeky goodness (nearly) every day!

Check out these cool Halloween-themed “Finder” icon pillows created by Etsy user THROWBOY, one of which claims the same name as the old orange Macs. The vampire? That’s “Count Macula.” The ghost, that’s the “Spooker.” The Frankenstein, that’s the “Finderstein.” As for the pumpkin, it’s called the “Mac-O-Lantern.”

Sound familiar? Of course it does. Instructables already gave you the know how to make your own orange Mac. How many different Mac-O-Lanterns are we going to see this season? The Halloween Mac pillows are yours for $39 a pillow. If you’ve got an old Mac collecting dust, why not save yourself some money and turn that into your Mac-O-Lantern this year.

Survival equipment doesn’t come in a more affordable price than the Heatsheets Survival Blanket. At $6, this blanket takes survival gear to the next step, killing two birds with one stone. Not only does it come in a bright orange color with a reflective stripe so airborne rescuers can spot you from long distances but it also reflects up to 90% of body heat, so you don’t end up like those folks who went too far north during their Oregon Trail campaign. It’s easy to adorn as well and doesn’t require labor to set up like the testicle-like cocoon survival shelter.

But perhaps the best part about it is that survival and first-aid instructions are printed directly on the blanket, because we all know how heavy those survival books can be. With this blanket, you’ll never forget how to do correct CPR and you won’t need to carry an extra peripheral that does CPR for you. That’s a life saving deal, right there.

Gearfuse reader Simon sent us a link to the “Unique Lizard Ball-Point Pen Hand-Painted Animal Ball Pen Yellow.” Long name aside, we like it. It’s a standard pen, housed inside an incredibly awesome orange lizard. At 9″ long, you can have your girlfriend compare it to your manhood for the sake of shits and giggles. Better get one fast, though. According to the site, only 5 are in stock and who knows when an opportunity like this one may present itself again…

How big of a fanboy do you have to be to put your dog through the hassle of shaving a mohawk strip down the center of its back and then painting it Firefox orange. Can’t the ASPCA do something about this? Come on, animal cops, this is clearly animal cruelty.

Now, if only the doggy’s little bed was a little globe pillow, they’d be all set. How could you forget the blueness? And they call themselves nerds. — Andrew Dobrow
