Link of the Day 050208: Cleaner Water With a Wand (No Magic Required) [NYTimes] 

by Catherine Laine
May 2nd, 2008

Interesting. Very interesting.

From the NYTimes:

TRAVELERS who don’t trust the water from a mountain stream or a hotel-room faucet have often used chemicals or filters to purify it. Now they have a high-tech option as well: swirl the water with a portable, lightweight wand that beams rays of ultraviolet light.
