Introducing, Ostrich! Never before has a paperclip holder been so awesome. The magnetic silhouette takes on the familiar form of the world’s biggest bird. Beautiful on its own, the shiny metallic finish and funky red “sneakers” make it an interesting desktop ornament. Add on the included black paperclips, however, and you’ve got something entirely new! If I had this functional decor on my desk, I doubt I’d get anything done. DO want!

This tiny ostrich bot, unlike rival robots, doesn't using computers and sensors to balance. It manages to keep running (at up to 10 mph) thanks to its built-in dynamic stability. Jerry Pratt, the senior research scientist at IHMC who leads the team d...

Remember the Ostrich? It’s kind of like a pillow that you can wear over your head so you can take a nap or get some rest, anytime and anywhere you feel like taking a breather. It looks like a cushy helmet with a huge opening in front for your face.
It started out as a concept that quickly went viral because it was just so unusual. Now kids can’t get in on the action and grab some shut-eye whenever they’re tired because the folks behind Ostrich just unveiled the Ostrich Junior.
As the name implies, Ostrich Junior is a smaller-sized version of the Ostrich. It’s intended for kids who are 6 years old and above. It makes sense for them to make one in this size, since kids are napping all the time, regardless where they currently are. At least with the Ostrich Junior, nap time is infinitely more comfortable.
The Ostrich Junior pillow comes in two designs: Berry Snooze and Dreamy Waves. It retails for $75(USD). You can find out more about it on Studio Banana’s website.
Ostriches are known for burying their heads in the sand and now you can bury your head (and hands) in the bizarre Ostrich Pillow. This odd pillow lets you pull it over your head and take a nap anywhere. Clearly not for the claustrophobic or people who need to breathe freely (yes there is a hole for your mouth and nose). On the other hand, it could work as a nice sound muffler for snorers. You can even slip your hands in there for extra something (warmth? comfort? not sure really why you would, but you can):
Sure, you may draw a lot of stares and glances but who cares? You won’t be able to see them with this thing over your head. Designed by Kawamura-Ganjavian, this is a fully funded kickstarter project so it will be produced and shipped. Just odd.
