Log Pillow lets you literally hug a tree as you work

Any one who has ever used a laptop the way its name suggests, knows that these things get pretty hot after a while, so having some kind of support that keeps the computer and your body separated and cool is a good idea. While there are plenty of so called cooling pads on the market, most are hard and uncomfortable. This log pillow from Intelligent Forms Design on the other hand is nice and cushy, with plenty of space between the logs that allow air to circulate. The front log also acts as a soft but supportive wrist rest. Made from natural materials like hemp canvas and using buckwheat hulls for fill material, there's a literal aspect to the tree hugging part as well.
The Log Pillow should be available soon for $160.

For something that is supposed to add support to a portable device, it doesn't look portable friendly. How readily would it fit in a laptop travel bag or case? Where would you store it when traveling?
And then there's the testosterone issue. How much testosterone does a man have to be seen in public with one of those things? If women want to lug and use that thing, fine, it sort of looks cuddly, but any self-respecting guy? I hope to God not!

The design of this pillow is really nice and unique, very useful if you'll be using your laptop at home, looks comfy, but if you're traveling this laptop pillow is a big no no to bring since this pillow isn't portable.

$160 for pennies worth of foam and fabric, insanity.
