Quickly Find a Nearby Emergency Room With findER
Finding an open Emergency Room while away from home should be fast and painless, and without any concerns that it recently moved to another hospital campus or that the hospital may no longer be in business. The folks at Massachusetts General Hospital realized that a consistently accurate database of ERs simply does not exist, and took on the challenge. Over the last few years they’ve developed that database and created a methodology to ensure the accuracy of the data, while providing an easy way to access it. Initially, they released an iPhone app that can quickly direct you to the nearest ER, and now they have brought the same functionality to the Blackberry and Android platforms.

USB power pot uses excess heat to charge your gadgets
Most stoves produce heat that far exceeds the temperature necessary to boil water, but TES NewEnergy has found a way to convert that excess energy into power, which can subsequently be used to charge your USB gadgets. Released yesterday in Japan, the Hitochaja HC-5 USB power pot can generate up to 400mAh of juice -- enough to charge your iPhone in three to five hours. Considering it needs a constant heat source to generate electricity, the ¥23,000 pot (about $285, before tax) is even less practical than last week's C-type battery laptop charger, but if you want to expand the service offerings at your local soup kitchen, this double-duty cooking vessel may be the solution you've been looking for.
