Philips Elite 9500+Reports
Philips takes your everyday toothbrush and transforms it into the ultimate ultrasonic tooth-cleaning device. The Elite 9500+Reports features on-board Wi-Fi to connect to your home network and does not require a PC to report brushing. Simply let your children brush, and parents can monitor the status of the toothbrush with the built-in bristle sensors. That’s right: your children can’t lie about brushing their teeth because this toothbrush will know! Collect brushing statistics, including duration of use, oscillation frequency, verified bristle contact, and more. There’s even a bad breath indicator so users don’t leave the house without a breath mint. Get this monitoring toothbrush for $169, available for the back-to-school season.

Isn’t technology absolutely amazing?? I know when I was a kid, I’d try to be slick about brushing my teeth sometimes, so I’ll definitely invest in this toothbrush once I have a child of my own… :bounce:

A totally random post is about to follow…

DSL problems have been plaguing me the past month. My connection at home has been out since Saturday afternoon and Verizon, to be perfectly honest, is apparently staffed with idiots who can barely speak English. I won’t even bother going into further detail, as the “idiot” comment should really say it all. The past few days, my office DSL has been experiencing intermittent behavior as well, and today it decided to do this five times, resulting in me getting on the phone with Speakeasy two of those five instances. Thankfully, Speakeasy’s support line seems to be staffed with people from the United States, but now we have to wait till Friday for a technician to get there and investigate, because we’ve already determined the problem is not hardware related.

I’m only able to post this because someone on my block has an unsecured wireless connection from which I’m pilfering. Thank you to this nameless, faceless person. Seriously, I mean that thank you. If I could hug you, I would. :yes:

Anyway! To end this misery, I finally just ordered cable tv and added high speed internet to the package. Come Friday, I’ll be out nearly $400 for the installation and the first month of service, but f*ck me sideways if it won’t be worth it, so long as these connection issues don’t follow. *crosses fingers*

To end on a happy note - Sarah and I went for a few games of pool Monday night, and we ran into our friend Cornelius…only to find out it was his birthday. My pool buddy is a Pisces, too! :woohoo:

Ahh, there’s nothing like sitting outside of an airport, using their free wireless connection to surf the web and downloading music as I wait for my best friend to pick me up.

I freakin’ love having a laptop with wireless capabilities! :woohoo: I have no idea why I never got one much sooner.

Oh, and it’s 82 glorious degrees here in Tampa. I’m in heaven.
