Hey Peeps! Thanks for logging in!

This week, let's do medical technology. Check out this link from Reader's Digest:

And don't stop on page 1. There are 5 pages of cool beans new medical technology so scroll on down. Yes, I know there aren't enough pictures and a whole lot of words, but you'll live . . . I promise.

For your post this week, pick one of these new medical technology and tell me how it will affect YOUR life or the life of someone you love.

My choice is the "one size fits all" flu shot. It's a flu shot that covers MANY types of flues (how on earth do you make that word plural? Flus? Flu's? Flues? no clue) instead of just a FEW types of flues. I could definitely see this becoming the wave of the future.

Now if only they could just invent a flu shot that would be effective but not make me deathly ill.

Talk to me . . .

Hi Folks! Thanks for logging in!

Let's do the super-cool new technology one more time. Take a look at these sites:

Productdose is not all technology, but it is a cool site to look at new stuff. Techeblog is about concept items. Those are items that are not in production, but will likely shape the items that will GET into production. Companies use concept items all the time to test out different ideas.

Pick something and tell me what you think about it.

BREAKING NEWS! I took the ProductDose link down because they upload new items on Mondays and a couple of them published today might be somewhat offensive. So just take a look at Techeblog and check out the new concepts!

Yanko is a company that's really heavy on the design aspect of things. Everything this company posts is B-E-A-UTIFUL. Once you've looked at the technology stuff, take a minute to explore the website and see some of the other stuff they have listed.

So for your post this week please tell me what you think about something that you find on the technology portion of the Yanko site.

Now about that phone that smells like lavender . . .

For your blog, please comment on any of the featured items.

I personally am gonna have that message toaster. Can't you just see it? "Honey, please pick up milk on the way home." Written on your TOAST! With your breakfast! Insanely cool.
