Tiny bottle cap motorcycles. I find them hilarious and amazing at the same time. #365

Three yummy grilled cheese-apple-cayenne sandwiches on Parisian baguette. I only got to eat two. The other one fell on the floor. And of course it was the one with bacon :(

Earring factory! Brand new stuff. Count this as your sneak peek! I’ll have these ones available at Colasantis on Wednesday May 29. After that, they may or may not end up online. We’ll see! #365 #earring #handmade #etsy #craft

The radically simple Uniject™ injection system

Rethinking the needle to extend the reach of lifesaving vaccines and medications

What if syringes were so easy to use that even untrained health workers could give injections without the risk of error?

What if vaccines for developing countries could be prepackaged in low-cost prefilled syringes, vastly reducing the amount of vaccine wasted?

What if syringes could not be reused—and we knew for certain that gateway to HIV transmission was closed?

The Uniject™ autodisable injection system (Uniject), born in PATH’s Seattle shop, is little more than a small bubble of plastic attached to a needle, but it answers all these needs. It is so simple that health workers can learn to use it after less than two hours of training. It cannot be reused, which eliminates one route of disease transmission. And it is precisely prefilled by the pharmaceutical producers with a single dose, which ensures that the correct amount of drug is delivered and that none is discarded unnecessarily.

PATH developed Uniject with funding from the US Agency for International Development and then licensed the system to BD, the largest syringe manufacturer in the world. As part of the licensing agreement, BD supplies the Uniject system to pharmaceutical producers at preferential prices for use in developing-country programs. Developing Uniject and bringing it to market has been a 20-year endeavor.

Originally developed for use with vaccines, Uniject now promises to extend the reach of other lifesaving drugs as well as contraception.

Uniject is a trademark of BD.

This is wonderful.

So simple but so amazing.

I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike… Rode to and from work today. Not a long ride, but not bad. #365

A gazillion baby gooses across the ditch. #365

For some reason, these traffic lights couldn’t decide whether to be red or green.

I think shower beer > parking lot beer, but only by a little. But I’ll take what I can get. #365

An even better picture. It doesn’t hurt as much as it did last night. But it’s so funny that I’m laughing through the pain. #sunburn
