]]> Express your geekiness or just have conversation pieces to throw out (or at) your visitors with Throwboyfeed_couch Pillows. This hot property is starting to catch up with the non-technorati as well as with one of the royalty of the tech world Chris Pirillo who interviewed the founder of Throwboy Pillows Roberto Hoyos.

Roberto, the grandson of a Peruvian seamstress, came up with the idea a year ago to sew MAC computer icons on small pillows. He and his family are still sewing 100 them a month in their home and the growth in demand is forcing Roberto to look for outside production resources. Throwboy Pillows are proving to be conversation starters, or enders depending on the acronym you use. (AFN – all for now)

Last weekend Throwboy Pillows got the Twitterverse buzzing with their new line of Chat acronym pillows. Chat abbreviations are used in text messages or online like LOL (Lots of Laughs), OMG (Oh My God, or Gosh depending on your interpretation) and many others.

Perfect timing to send along with your Facebook profiled, Twitter Tweeting, teenager off to college. YA Rly! (Yeah Really) Yes, the digital age has a language all its own, you might need a text slang dictionary
