USB Hand Warmers

Not sure this is any good for here in Brisbane....but this is the story anyway (i guess USA)

Spring is supposedly here and it's allegedly not so cold during the day that one can go out in a fleece hoodie instead of a winter coat. We wouldn't know from experience, since Gawker Media recently had us fitted with house arrest anklets to keep us home typing up posts for your enjoyment. At any rate, if the weather is still so chilly as to keep you from comfortably typing on your keyboard or playing games, you might want to purchase a pair of USB heating gloves.

These wool gloves with heating elements inside have two heat settings and can rise ten degrees in five minutes, making sure your hands are toasty warm for optimal Katamari rolling. $22 for a pair, and they come with cables you can plug into any computer or game console with a USB port. These plus a Slanket and you're set for next winter!

Connection Glasses

The Connection Glass was born out of two things product designer Priscilla Bernikowicz realized about bars: 1) that they’re terrible places to meet people, because the noise prevents you from hearing what anyone is saying, and 2) that people clutch their glasses like security blankets. So the Connection Glass is kind of like Dodgeball except not on your cellphone, in that it tells you who is in your vicinity and lets you look at their profiles and send messages. You can exchange details with someone you find interesting by clinking your glasses together.

It’s an interesting idea, and Bernikowicz is looking for backing so she can do more research and go into production, but at the end of the day is this something we really want or need? Most of us spend our work day locked down in front of a computer screen, only to spend our nights out coordinating our social lives over tiny cellphone screens. Instead of having more interfaces between us we should just relearn how to actually talk to each other face to face.
