German physicists invent “perfect” coffee cup

German physicists invent “perfect” coffee cup

The perfect cup of joe is determined by a number of things, from the quality of the beans to the roughness of the grind. But even bad coffee tastes best when it is served at an ideal temperature: approximately 58 degrees celsius. But coffee cools quickly, and even the most ideal cup of coffee, exposed to the open air, becomes less than ideal in less than a few seconds.

Clip Source: www.geek.com

What’s the java gourmet to do but turn to the sweet aid of technology to help tame that dark but temperate mistress, the coffee cup?

What this means is that if you pour coffee in this cup, the first thing that will happen is that the cup will cool your coffee down to the ideal 58 degrees celsius. Then, when your coffee starts to cool too much, the phase changing material will release the heat back into the cup of coffee.

you can have a perfectly heated cup of coffee without plugging in a warming plate… one that will stay piping hot for up to 30 minutes

Cool Tools: Pak-Lite LED flashlight

The ultimate lightweight backpacking camp light. A tiny 4 gram chip sits atop a regular alkaline 9-volt battery which acts as body, handle, stand and power source. Two modes: high (75 hours) and low (600 hours). High mode produces about as much light as a candle, only steadier, harsher and whiter. The Pak-LIte is an ideal tent light. You can set down and let it burn hour after hour, night after night. I once ran mine for 48 hours continuously and found no drop off in power. One battery should last the longest thru hike. You can make it last years by substituting a 9-volt lithium battery (200 hours on hi, 1,200 on lo). It's easy enough to grab it and use it as a torch or map reader as well. Since the 9-volt battery has a long shelf life it makes a pretty good hurricane/emergency light too.

NHL Drives Buzz with Tweetups

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:16:03 GMT

clipped by: nealstewart
clipper's remarks: This is a pretty cool casy study on how the National Hockey League (who haven't always been the best marketers) stimulated buzz and interest around the playoffs last year by holding tweet-ups in NHL cities. They did this in both playoff and non-playoff cities - so it was really targeted toward the hard-core fan who just enjoys the sport.

When I was with Flying Dog Brewery, we had good success creating tweetups to build stronger awareness and relationships with our consumers. But the cool thing is that loyal consumer who would come to the event would almost always bring someone who was less familiar with the brand, so we got to talk to a partially new audience.

The great thing about tweetups is that you can really build the event around any theme because the objective is to come and meet like-minded people. Whether it's the love of hockey, beer or charity event if you get the word out to the right people and throw out an interesting offer for their attendance, people will come

Clip Source: blogs.forrester.com

The NHL spent only a few weeks and a few thousand dollars planning and supporting the tweet-ups, but the results were fantastic:

Big in-person attendance. More than 1200 people attended tweet-ups in 23 cities (including events in New Zealand and Northern Ireland) for the opening night of the playoffs. Many fans organized further tweet-ups as their teams progressed through the playoffs as well

Bigger online chatter. Those attendees talked a lot about the events on Twitter: On the opening night of the playoffs, the term "NHL" was mentioned on Twitter more than twice as often as on a normal day. And #NHLtweetup became a trending topic for the day.

Enormous total reach. According to the league's research, as many as 240,000 people could have heard about the event on Twitter. And the tweet-ups also generated press coverage that reached millions, including a story in USA Today.

Optimal Temperature for a Good Sleep

Optimal Temperature for a Good Sleep

The right room temperature plays an important role in your sleep.

Studies have found that in general, the optimal temperature for sleep is quite cool, around 60 (15.5 C) to 68 (20 C) degrees Fahrenheit. For some, temperatures that fall too far below or above this range can lead to restlessness.

Temperatures in this range, it seems, help facilitate the decrease in core body temperature that in turn initiates sleepiness. A growing number of studies are finding that temperature regulation plays a role in many cases of chronic insomnia. Researchers have shown, for example, that insomniacs tend to have a warmer core body temperature than normal sleepers just before bed, which leads to heightened arousal and a struggle to fall asleep as the body tries to reset its internal thermostat.
