Toothpaste tube with integrated dental floss.
Just like everybody else we do not floss enough. And if it were not for the little Hummingbird (that we posted on a while back) we would not be flossing nearly as much as we do. To that end, here is a new idea for a toothpaste tube with a roll of floss. This will obliterate the "I forgot to buy floss" argument forever. It is called Floss'n'Cap and as you can see it is from Aquafresh. It has been on the market for a while, but we have not seen it in Sweden. If it sells reasonably well, we would not be surprised if there is a Colgate and/or a Pepsodent version on the shelves pretty soon. The tube won a silver award in the 17th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation in 2004, and it is USD 3:50 a piece on Dentist.net. [Via]

Why, oh why, did I not think of this?
Some ideas and solutions to common problems are so brilliantly obvious (after you've seen it) that all you can do is blushingly admit that you did not think of it. I'm sure you have experienced that after a bit of working, there is not enough room between the hacksaw frame and the blade. And I'm sure you have worked around it somehow to get the job done. But did you think of this? If you did, we can only congratulate you, 'cause that makes you smarter than we are. [Via]

If you want to have breakfast or work in bed.
We must admit we are a bit partial to breakfast in bed. Particularly in hotels. But one problem with eating in bed is that most trays are very unstable. And the bread-crumbs, of course. But we digress. This tray, designed by Harald Hynell (who mailed us to tell about it) for Bosign, has a pillowy base which makes it adapt to whatever it is placed on (your legs, for instance). That makes it steadier than most. We are sure it is very good for using laptops on your lap top, too. It is available in black, white, willow- or wenge wood and it is SEK 494:- (approx. USD 70:-) on the PID web shop.

Transparent thermometer sticks to windows without glue.
This tip comes from Bertil J. who imports these see-through thermometers. We have see the material before; its a kind of plastic that clings to glass through static electricity. This application, however, is new to us, and we think it is kinda neat. The KleerTemp sticks to your window or glass door (no glue, nails or screws) and is easily readable from the inside. It is available in both Fahrenheit and Celsius versions and it is USD 8:- on ElectroOptix' own web shop. It is also on Amazon
for USD 6:-. Plus shipping, one might suppose.15 March 2007
Magnetic induction self powered bike lights.
Today is a sunny day and the thermometer shows +6-7°C. Spring is here and so is the bike season. To mark the occasion we will feature another bike gadget. This tip comes from Paul L., who admits he has not tried them, but still thinks the idea is smart. We can't but agree. The lights are from Danish Reelight, and they are invented by Troels Pedersen. The light, or lights, are based on electromagnetic induction, which means they generate their own power. No resistance like you get from an ordinary dynamo, no battery changes as with ordinary bike lights. The light are attached to the front and back hubs, and the magnets to the spokes of the wheels. Every time a magnet passes a light electricity is generated. Simple. The lights are DKK 299:- (approx. USD 53:- or EUR 40:-) for a kit of front and rear lights, four magnets and mounting details.
