Sausage Stylus For the iPhone

Now that global warming has taken over and it’s so damn cold here in Florida, I’m often stymied by my gloves. You can’t use an iPhone without taking off your gloves. iPhone users in South Korea have figured out that a popular sausage snack closely approximates the electrostatic properties of the human finger and are using them as a stylus.

Sales of sausage soar by almost 40% in the Winter. Hmm, I wonder if a Slim Jim would work??

Superinsulationg Aerogels Arrive on Home Insulation Market

Over 70 years ago, scientists invented aerogel, the least dense solid known to man, and an insulator four times more efficient than fiberglass or foam. Famously, according to Dr. Peter Tsou of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "you could take a two- or three-bedroom house, insulate it with aerogel, and you could heat the house with a candle. But eventually the house would become too hot."

Unfortunately, aerogels remained so expensive and unwieldy that only NASA used them with any regularity. However, thanks to recent production advances, aerogel insulation is now available and affordable for consumer purchase.
