It’s summer. It’s stinking hot. And for any silly person who leaves their pets (or any imbecile who leaves their kids) inside a parked car, watch this video where a doctor traps himself inside a parked car to see how how it gets. Even with all four windows cracked down a bit, the car temperature reaches 117 degrees in only 30 minutes.

Thanko – USB Necktie Cooler 3 – A tie that cools down your body – Savior of Japanese salarymen in the summer time!
Posted in: Today's Chili
Those who have ever visited Japan in the summer time must remember how brutal Japanese summer is. It’s very hot and humid so that you pour sweat all over your body right after leaving home. Japanese salarymen (meaning corporate employees in Japanese) are poor things because many of them have to put on a tie even in the hottest month of August.
So, we would like to recommend the “USB Necktie Cooler 3″ released by Thanko. It looks like a regular tie at first sight, however you can pull the knot down and a fan shows up. Once you connect the tie to your PC’s USB port with the accompanying USB cable, the fan starts running and cooling down your neck area.
With a portable battery (sold separately), you can run the fan anywhere and anytime without a PC.
This practical tie with some light humor could be a great belated gift for your salaryman dad for Father’s Day.
Price: ¥2,980 (including tax)
Size: 480 x 95 x 24mm (tie part)
Weight: 120g
Power source: USB bus power
Accessory: USB cable

Spring has finally maybe broken through here in Tokyo. And Golden Week starts this weekend! Time to enjoy the nice weather and a refreshing beverage. What could be better than some Kirin Ichiban Shibori beer in a beer garden in Tokyo…
Kirin has opened Ichiban Shibori Garden, its flagship Kirin beer hall, this week in Toranomon, Tokyo for a limited time only. And Japanese actress/model, Yu Aoi was on hand to celebrate the opening and try her hand at pouring a draft.
More Kirin stores will open in other cities in Japan soon and then overseas starting in China, Taiwan and Korea in mid-May.
The concept of Kirin Ichiban Shibori Garden is “A space to propose a new beer style and share happiness”.
In addition to regular draft Kirin Ichiban Shibori, on a hot day you may want to try a draft beer called “Ichiban Shibori Frozen” – it has icy foam on top of the beer so you can enjoy a new texture in your beer…
Or, perhaps a beer cocktail called “Ichiban Shibori Two-tone” that has juice or liqueur on the bottom.
It will definitely become a hot hang-out spot for salarymen and OLs this coming summer!

What we wouldn’t give to have access to Google’s treasure trove of human wonderings. Every day millions of folk tell the search giant exactly what they are thinking about, without even realizing it. It’s not all take take take, though, as Mountain View has just released some data letting us all know what we and our (geographical) neighbors did this summer. By compiling popular search terms used in Google Maps between May and September, we can see that, while Canadians and the Spanish were looking for the beach, Britons were more partial to a game of Squash, or a trip around Trafalgar Square. Back home, Death Valley, Redwood and Yosemite National Parks were earning the most interest, while Paintball was the top activity — but we’re hoping the two are unrelated. Want to see how the Dutch like to unwind, or how Indians like to cool off? Jump on the tour bus source link to find out more.
