Nora on 'ice vests' for workers in hot weather; Cathi on the Barsys automated bartender
Hi folks!
Hard to believe it's Labour Day already! Cathi and Nora are back at it for a new season. We met at Cathi's place to talk about our summers and of course, new gadgets.
Nora talks about this Wired article on the popularity of 'ice vests': wearable gear to keep outdoor workers cool in the summer heat. It reminds Cathi of the breathing tech in Dune. Is this kind of thing part of the future of climate change adaptation?
Cathi has her eye on the Barsys, a stylish drink-making appliance for those looking for cool cocktail culture accountrements. Do people want to do their own mixology, or could this be a high end party favourite?
