I saw this over on Gizmodo and thought it was ingenious! It’s the Kug, as in kettle+mug. Two students designed it to address the fact that people with severe arthritis in their hands have a hard time lifting a kettle full of water.

Of course, I think the general idea is that this just seems like a smart idea regardless, since in the morning I am always boiling water in a kettle and then pouring it into my travel mug before I head to class.

Unfortunatley, my iMac is still on the fritz, otherwise I would post the design I’m working on for next year’s orientation week t-shirts.
