Coffee Joulies – A refreshingly new way to drink your Coffee
Coffee or Java as it is most popularly called, is a magical drink which mesmerizes millions of people around the world with its tempting and delicious aroma and flavor.
Hot cup of Coffee
For most of us a good hot cup of coffee is the right way to start our day or rather a perfect way to start our day. Imagine the best cup of coffee burning your tongue and playing spoilsport on your early morning coffee drinking experience. Or imagine waiting for your cup of coffee to cool down to your comfortable drinking temperature. Or frankly speaking for people who like to drink their coffee not so hot (just like me 
) – I know people might wonder – “How the hell do your drink that not so hot coffee – Yikes!!!” For all of you now there is a good news. Two design engineers from US named Dave & Dave have designed a special coffee bean called “Coffee Joulies“
Coffee Joulies
Coffee Joulies cools your hot cup of coffee immediately (three times faster than normal) and gets it to a comfortable temperature. Also it retains the comfortable drinking temperature for almost 4 to 5 hours for you to savor. Yes, its true. This is achieved by packaging a special type of non-toxic material inside a stainless steel polished shell. This material absorbs the heat from the hot cup of coffee instantaneously and releases it over a period of time keeping your cup of coffee hot for a longer period of time. Surprising isn’t it. These two engineers have revolutionalized the way we drink our every day cup of coffee. Its priced around $50 per bag of Joulies.
I know you wouldn’t believe what I say – Watch this video to believe the unbelievable
The two Daves started this Coffee Joulies which was launched as a project on Kickstarter. Seeking $9500 to pay for half the cost of tooling, Dave & Dave ended up raising $306,944 earning them third place in the Kickstarter Hall of Fame and providing enough money to make Joulies in the USA.
I would really like to try those out if I get a chance to do so. So will you I think…

WordPress 2.7 is now online
Seems interesting, subscribe the way you want to keep updated…
Finally after a long wait, its now online. Yes WordPress 2.7 is online now. Those who have not logged in for a very long time will find it very different and interesting to see the new version of WordPress when they initially login. Even I felt the same way when I logged in today. A sudden change in the view leaves you confused (even when I logged in yesterday). The sudden change in the homepage itself gave me a hint about the availability, but I wanted to check it with my eyes before I can believe it. So the change is good…
This new upgrade is more interesting than its predecessors. The new design is based on the JSR 168 Portlets design it seems if I’m not wrong. Portlets are pluggable user interface software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal. Typically, following the desktop metaphor, a portal page is displayed as a collection of non-overlapping portlet windows, where each portlet window displays a portlet.
The navigation is so easy between the modules. You just pick a module and rearrange the way you like it. If one wants to get a feel of the power of portlets, you can see IGoogle by loggin in. The pages in the webpage are easily adjustable and rearrangeable. This upgrad of WordPress is designed the same way I believe.
All together, the new upgrade is very nice. Try it out yourselves to get a feel of it.
Need Blood – It’s just an SMS away
Seems interesting, subscribe the way you want to keep updated…
Airtel, India’s leading mobile service provider today strengthened its tie up with Jeevan Blood Bank of Chennai, taking a step ahead in its “Airtel Cares for Everyone” (ACE) project. This is a first of its kind initiative, wherein people can source information on blood within minutes and access the real time stock of tested blood components from Jeevan Blood Bank 24 hours a day.
Airtel already has a partnership with Jeevan, in which a few numbers have been provided free of cost for Jeevan to stay in touch with people wanting to donate blood and patients in need of blood. This is now being strengthened through an SMS service, which provides information about availability of blood.
Procedure:
Type <Blood group + or -> and SMS it to 9600097000
Ex: Type “Blood B+” and SMS it to 9600097000
A response will be sent back to the person within a minute, containing information on quantity of readily available tested blood components of the group required. This facility is available for customers of all networks and you know it is toll free for Airtel mobile customers .
If the required blood is available, one can call Jeevan Blood Bank directly on 044-28351200 or 044-43524242 for further assistance. This service will help minimize the time spent on searching for safe blood and help save more lives.
About Jeevan Blood Bank:-
Jeevan Blood Bank and Research Centre was started on 24th September 1995 with the vision of providing, on demand, safe blood and blood components collected from non-remunerated voluntary blood donors using appropriate and current technologies and in accordance to international standards. Over the past thirteen years Jeevan has collected over 72,000 blood donations and made available over 130,000 units of safe blood and blood components to the community. Every blood donation is tested for HIV ( HIV Ag and 1 & 2 Ab), Hepatitis B ( HBsAg & Anti HBc), Hepatitis C ( Anti HCV ), Malaria, Syphilis and Leptospira.
Please note that every unit of blood is being tested by Nucleic Acid Testing ( NAT ) for DNA / RNA for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.
I hope you will also spread this word across your circle so that you can also be a part in saving many a lives.

Vodafone offers iPhone 3G on EMIs
Seems interesting, subscribe the way you want to keep updated…
Vodafone one of the two leading providers of iPhone 3G (which is one among the Gadgets to watch in 2008) in India, the other being Airtel is planning to provide it on an EMI scheme for its subscribers.
Vodafone is in talks with Barclays and ICICI Bank for this scheme. In India, the iPhone is priced at Rs. 31,000 for 8GB and Rs. 36,100 for 16GB of memory space. The schemes are based on a period of 6 to 12 months from which the subscribers can choose from. The iPhone is being sold in Hyderabad and Bangalore besides the four metropolitan cities and will be later introduced in 65 cities. The phone comes locked to the service provider, which means a user cannot switch his or her operator while using an iPhone.
The price of the iPhone 3G is kind of overpriced in India by an enormous amount, thanks to our import duty policies . The original price of the same in US being $199 (around Rs. 8800) for 8GB and $299 (around Rs. 13200) for 16GB. Also there are talks about slashing the prices six months from now. So people can make choice of either waiting for a slashed price some time later or grab it fresh ‘n’ overpriced, also considering the fact that currently there are no 3G networks in India to use the iPhone 3G to its full potential. I’ve read somewhere that BSNL is rushing out in its plans to roll out 3G in India by end of this year or early next year . So watch out this space for more details as and when it is available.
