These tweezers have two integral LEDs that turn on when the slightest pressure is applied to the gripping arms, providing illumination where it is needed most during the delicate removal of splinters, or whenever the tweezers are used. Unlike steel tweezers that can corrode, these are made of rust- and shatterproof polycarbonate, and each tip has three interlocking gripping ridges for best traction during use.

With “The Simpsons Movie” opening on July 27th (and rumored to explore more irreverent faith-focused storylines), the time is ripe for a list of the top ten (plus 1) episodes dealing with religion. It wasn’t easy, but as a repeat viewer and a student of the show, here is my list. Whether you’re a die-hard Homer fan, a subscriber to the Ned Flanders school of faith, or even an Apu enthusiast, there’s something in this gallery for you.

Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.
