I saw this article on Engadget about the XFT CPR Flashlight that actually talks you through delivering CPR to someone and thought it was quite an interesting product, and a couple of days later we actually receive one in the office direct from the manufacturer.

As you can see in the photos it’s quite a simple looking product, LED torch at one end, a few buttons for turning the torch on and the CPR instruction, and a speaker on the end so you can hear the delivered instructions.

How does it actually work? Well first of all you can use the LED flashlight by simply press the green ‘LIGHT’ button, which is the first button in the array. To access the CPR instructions you use the ‘ON / OFF’ button, from there you are prompted to select the patient’s age, your choices are ‘ADULT’, ‘BABY’ or ‘CHILD’, via the A, B, and C buttons. Once you have done that you are then prompted to call your local emergency service number, 911 in the US version or 000 in Australian version. After the emergency call command you are then talked through checking the patient for signs of life, then we get into the CPR.

Rather than type out all the CPR commands, which would also make for boring reading, I’ve captured this short video of the whole process.

So as you can see this is potentially a lifesaving device for around the home, in your car, in your laptop bag, etc. So what’s it worth? Well the Australian version will sell for around $29.95 I believe, considering this has the potential to save the life of a loved one then I think it’s very affordable.

I’ve been receiving a number of comments and emails from readers of this blog asking about the Pain Gone pain relief device that I’ve mentioned a few times here. I figured I’d do a quick video with all the information on it so you have a better idea of what I’m talking about.

Enjoy!

Oh and if you missed the link it’s Targeted Pain Relief, and our eBay shop is here, or just send me an email at mathew.packer [at] gmail.com

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve just finished up the recording and editing of my review on the HP Pavillion HDX-9200 notebook computer. It’s in the process of being uploaded now so hopefully it should be live a little later this afternoon.

Here’s a short clip of a fairly windy section of the Oxley Highway between Tamworth and Wauchope in country New South Wales. This video is from the road trip that Cath and I did out to her Sister’s place in Bourke for her engagement party, I think I blogged about it here..

Just playing around with the new video on flickr. It’s quite a simple setup, easy to upload, and easy to embed into a website, blog, whatever..

Over the next couple of weeks you’ll probably notice me doing a lot more video, I’m basically going to be experimenting with a few different things for a project that I’ll reveal later.

Anyway, for now here’s ‘Lucky The Cat’ in his movie debut.
