SMART STUFF #4, VOLUME 4. APRIL 2008 |..<.....7..8..9..10..11.....>

New thermo effect glasses.
We've covered this ground before, with glasses that keep drinks cold or warm depending on your preference. But these glasses have a new and cool design by Alissia Melka Teichroew. They are called inside-out glasses and they are, from the left, cocktail glass, liquor glass and champagne glass. All are mouth blown with double walls using borosilicate glass. They are USD 65:-, 55:- and 65:- respectively for a two-pack at the MoMa store. [Via]

New lancing device promises to reduce pain.
Most, if not all, lancers or auto injectors works by jamming a spring loaded needle into your skin to draw blood or inject drugs. This creates several problems, one of them is that the cutting depth cannot be adjusted and that the wound tract is quickly contracted often causing a bleeding under the skin. (fig b). Many, particularly children, also think the pinprick is uncomfortable and downright painful. A new device, the Pelikan Sun lancing device, promises to remedy this. By pushing the lancet into the skin, stopping it, and pulling it out in a controlled motion over about one second, no sudden trauma that causes pain should occur. Also the wound canal does not close immediately, making the blood sample easier to collect without squeezing (fig a). A microprocessor controls the entire operation and determines how deep the cut should be. The device is available in the US, Germany, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. If your insurance does not cover the expense it is about ca USD 200:-. The cost of the disposable lancets should of course be added. [Via]

Watch out for these baddies if you go to Australia.
Australia probably has more dangerous and/or poisonous animals, insects, reptiles and fish than the rest of the world combined. Maybe the continent's isolation and harsh living conditions has benefited a natural selection of the most dangerous. Anyway. Many young Swedes goes to Australia to work and to experience the world, and that's cool. We'd like to go, too. But before you go you might want to check out some of the animals you'd better stay away from. Here's a web resource where they have collected some of the most dangerous fish (are jellyfish really fish?) that you'd be wise to recognize before you encounter them. From the left, the Blue Ringed Octopus, the Stonefish and the Box Jellyfish. [Learn more on wikiHow]
