German tea producer Hälssen & Lyon decided to do something a little different by creating what's billed as the world's first tea calendar.  <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/halssen-lyon-tea-calendar/27514/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27493"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-solar-lantern/27493/">Panasonic to distribute 100,000 solar lantern/chargers to the developing world</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/author/david-szondy/">David Szondy</a></div> <div class="date">May 13, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-solar-lantern/27493/#comments">7 Comments</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-solar-lantern/27493/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130902154509im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/panasonic-solar-lantern-2.jpg" title="The Panasonic solar lantern can also charge small electronic devices" alt="The Panasonic solar lantern can also charge small electronic devices"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> We live in an age where people in the developed world are so dependent on electricity that if it wasn't available a whole civilization would collapse in a week. It’s therefore ironic that 1.32 billion people around the world are still without what most people have come to see as a basic necessity. To mark its 100th anniversary, the Panasonic Corporation plans to distribute 100,000 solar lanterns that the company has developed that can not only provide light, but also charge mobile phones and other small devices.  <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/panasonic-solar-lantern/27493/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27456"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/chillsner-beer-icicle/27456/">Icicle-like Chillsner keeps your beer cold from the inside out</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jonathan-fincher/">Jonathan Fincher</a></div> <div class="date">May 13, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/chillsner-beer-icicle/27456/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/chillsner-beer-icicle/27456/pictures">12 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/chillsner-beer-icicle/27456/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130902154509im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/chillsner.jpg" title="The Chillsner is a freezable metal spike that fits inside a beer bottle to keep your brew ..." alt="The Chillsner is a freezable metal spike that fits inside a beer bottle to keep your brew ..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> While beer is best served chilled, everyone who’s tried it knows that beer and ice generally aren’t a good mix.

Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) announced last week that it has installed ten of the Finnish-designed GoSleep pods at Abu Dhabi International Airport to provide passengers with individual sleeping quarters while waiting for flights.  <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/gosleep-pods-abu-dhabi-airport/27475/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="27434"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/neolucida-modern-camera-lucid/27434/">NeoLucida brings 19th Century sketching tech into the present</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">May 8, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/neolucida-modern-camera-lucid/27434/#comments">6 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/neolucida-modern-camera-lucid/27434/pictures">8 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/neolucida-modern-camera-lucid/27434/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130902154509im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/neolucida.jpg" title="A view through the eyepiece of the NeoLucida " alt="A view through the eyepiece of the NeoLucida "/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> As long ago as 1807 – and possibly up to 200 years earlier – many artists used an optical device known as a camera lucida to help them in sketching subjects. A controversial theory even suggests that some of the famous Old Masters created their masterpieces not by sketching freehand, but by using such gadgets. Now, two art professors are trying to bring the camera lucida back, in the form of the low-cost portable NeoLucida.  <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/neolucida-modern-camera-lucid/27434/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="pagination"> <div class="next_prev"> « <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/3/">Prev</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/">1</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/3/">3</a> <span>4</span> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/6/">6</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/7/">7</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/8/">8</a> <a href="/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/5/" class="next_pagination">Next </a> » </div> </div> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20130902154509/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
