Pancakes from an Aerosol Can
by Steve
Thursday, October 25, 2007

Batter Blaster is probably going to change the way pancake batter is sold.
This probably needs little explanation: just shake the can, point it to a hot griddle, and push on the nozzle.
Not sure why this hasn't been thought of earlier.
The nutrition label says each can contains 8 servings, and it's carries the USDA "Organic" stamp.
The Batter Blaster website comes with a video showing you how to use this. It also has instructions on how to cook pancakes.
There's also a store locator, but I couldn't find any stores sellings this in the Southern California area where I live. So I typed in a San Francisco zip code (94102), where the company is located, and a bunch of stores came up.

Predict Your Baby's Gender Before Conception
by Steve
Thursday, October 25, 2007
A man named Horatiu Terpe claims to have developed a tool called, "GenderClue" that will predict the sex of a baby before it has even been conceived.
It's an algorithm based on a type of circadian cycle using the Father and the Mother's birth dates and displays the results in a calendar showing you what day to have sex on, to produce a boy (blue) or a girl (red).

The beginning of a cycle has the highest probably of accuracy, while the end of a cycle has the lowest.
The product's website says...
The Y and X chromosomes (male and female) for each person have certain variations, different from each of the two chromosomes. The cycle of the two chromosomes start at birth. Genderclue's algorithm calculates the cycle for the Father and the Mother to be and compares the two cycles.

Computerized Pillow Stops Snoring
by Steve
Wednesday, October 03, 2007

Reuters reports that a German scientist named Daryoush Bazargani has invented a computerized pillow that automatically adjusts the position of your head to minimize snoring.
"The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises", says Bazargani. "The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during sleep."
He has apparently talked several U.S. firms about manufacturing the pillow.
