Hands

I have a far longer article in the works regarding gadgets and gizmos but just thought I would share this one for starters. Im not sure this stuff is available in the UK (anyone??) but at first glance it looks amazing. Called "Plasti-Dip" it comes in a spray can and adds grip to practically any household object. Brilliant. Although it can't claim to turning a tool/utensil into a "oxo good grip" it certainly adds texture to an object that may increase friction. However reading some comments on this product suggests that it does tend to flake. Loctite Color Guard is a suggested alternative (although again, not sure about its availability in the UK) as is "pickup truck bed liner" whatever that is..?!

See this 5 page article on how to use it (via Make)

Wow. This is of course some clever Germans having fun with some computery graphics but if future prosthetic limbs look anything like this the future of hand therapy may be quite different.... (you'll need quicktime to view it)
