A pillow that tells you how good the waves are
The Aussies have done it again. This time with a pillow that eliminates the need to get out of bed to check the surf. It communicates wirelessly with special surf-monitoring software that you install on your computer. The pillow vibrates according to the size of the waves, i.e. bigger waves make the pillow vibrate more vigorously. The pillow even mimics the period of the waves, so you can get a sense of how often the sets are coming in.
They should make a seat cushion for desk chairs, too.
