Despite my reputation of being very clumsy, I have worn glasses for over 20 years without breaking them. Until last week’s vacation, when I left them on the bed and smashed them. Oops. To be fair, being at sea apparently exacerbates my natural klutziness, since I also went flying off a water tube, fell off [...]

The Cenoire Eluo Sonic Toothbrush Review
Your teeth are precious. And as tough as they are, they actually need to a good bit of attention if you want them hanging around. Brushing and flossing are a must. Water picks are good too. And while it is easy to get into a healthy routine when you are home, it can be much [...]
SleepTracker Announces New SleepTracker Analytics
You know what sucks? Yes, that too; but what I was thinking of was when you’re sleeping, I mean really deep in there, having an awesome dream, the kind in vivid technicolor with an awesome soundtrack, and maybe costarring Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson, with a guest cameo by your deceased Dad playing an ass-kickin’ [...]
iGrill + Omaha Steaks’ Steak Time App = Meat Magic
Now far be it from me to tell a man (or a woman for that matter) how to use their BBQ grill. Like politics and religion, grilling is a topic where advice is rarely appreciated or even more rarely followed. I’m sure you’re great at cooking a steak over charcoal or gas, and I wouldn’t [...]
LaserLeap Technologies Wins Best Startup Challenge at Photonics West
Wow … we just jump from show to show to show … from CES to NAMM – and now Photonics West. Sure there isn’t all that much overlap, but each of these shows are rather interesting to me. I haven’t heard much specific technology news of interest from Photonics yet, but today we learned that [...]
Express Scripts Drops Walgreens from Their Network; Patients Suffer
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. As many of you know, I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis; it leaves me feeling poorly on many occasions, and it has resulted in one of my wrists being fused. That’s the bad news. The good news is the fact [...]
Put Down the Pinot – Turns Out the ‘Red Wine is Good for You’ Report Was Falsified!
I have been a red wine lover since … well, forever it seems. I have always known that moderation is all things is key, that too much of a good thing is never a good thing. I never assumed that any amount of alcohol was beneficial, so when the study came out a while ago [...]
TVR Communications and Tely Labs Combine To Let You Make Video Calls from Your Hospital Bed
For a long time, I was commuting between Austin and my job in California. Which, quite frankly, sucked, was hard on Sami, and was really hard on my kids. But then the iPhone 4 came out, with FaceTime, and The Boy and I could talk, free of charge via wifi, from our own phones wherever [...]
Ford CES Health & Wellness News: Ford Collaborates for Health Monitoring While Driving
As a person born at the very tail end of the Baby Boom, or conversely the very, very beginning of GenX, I have been known, in my day, to grouse pretty strongly about how many products are targeted for the Boomer demographic. But even I have to admit that some of those products are durn [...]
Withings Introduces the World’s First Internet Connected Baby and Toddler Scale
Kev and I have a Withings WiFi connected scale and blood-pressure cuff. My favorite feature of both is that our results are automatically exported to both a password-protected personal page on the Withings site as well as an app on our iPhone or iPad. We are able to monitor our own numbers and when the [...]
The SodaStream Home Soda Maker Overview and Review
Early this week preparations for CES went into high gear. I commented to the GD team that during the week a staple of my diet tends to be either sugar-free Red Bull or FiveHour Energy and that, upon arrival, I may buy a case of each. I also made an offhand comment that a box [...]
Are Mobile Devices Wrecking Your Body?
The Jawbone Up health and wellness band didn’t last long with me. As much as I initially like it, the product didn’t offer enough functionality to justify the cost. Add in the fact that it needed to physically connect to my iPhone to transfer information and, well it just wasn’t the homerun I was hoping [...]
That Bad Spray Tan Might Be the Best Thing for Your Skin!
Despite the fact that everyone knows tanning and overexposure to the sun is really bad for you in terms of cancer risk, having a tan is often described as a ‘healthy glow’, and celebrities wouldn’t dream of going out in public without a radiant but all too often orange glow. A new study published by [...]
The Simplest Medicine Ever
(image courtesy Greeensheets) We [as a society] tend to rush to prescriptions for every issue. High blood pressure? Medicine. Sinus headache? Medicine. Achey joints? Medicine. Need more vitamins? Medicine. You get the idea. But there’s another way to stay healthy (and get healthy), and it doesn’t even require a co-pay! For starters, it requires 9 [...]
23andMe Personal Genomics Special Holiday Sales Start Cyber Monday on Facebook and Twitter
Okay, so as far as I’m concerned, the line between genetics and eugenics is ‘way too malleable. Probably I’ve just read too much science fiction. Or maybe it’s because I’m just a nervous nellie. Or maybe it’s because I’m Jewish. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of the good stuff that modern genetics [...]
