We returned from the CEA Line Show having seen some interesting and innovative products. Among them, a simple but effective aide for a common problem we all face at one time or another – trouble sleeping.
At the end of the day, sleep is what I want but thoughts and ideas are what I get. My answer is to meditate. I found that to get to that place of total relaxation it helps me to have the right soundtrack as a guide. Recordings with a binaural tone do the trick for me. It is, however, quite awkward – to try to sleep with earphones stuck in my ears.
One of my associates spent hours writing a paper and sent it to me to proofread. I read the document and jotted down my ideas, typed in some comments, a little cut here, a little paste there, a whole bunch of deletions with research references, and then, in a moment that can only be described as distracted creativity (?), promptly saved it overwriting the original file. Yikes!
That’s when the “Oh No You Didn’t!” rang out through the office.
Fortuitously, I had printed out the original document. Even more fortunately, our office had been sent a copy of PDF Converter Professional 6.0 from Nuance Communications for review.
As a card-carrying member (AARP) of the baby boomer generation I am surprised by new challenges every day. One of my favorites is the ongoing battle between the length of my arms and the size of the print on everything I read from newspapers to phone screens.
Let’s talk about the telephone, who among us could function without it? Every household has several. Some are wired, more and more are wireless. Sometimes using the phone is the bane of my existence. Tiny buttons, tiny numbers and tiny screens with even tinier writing do nothing for a member of the bifocal generation.
Uniden®, one of today’s leading electronics manufacturers heard my anguish and designed the CEZAI998. Its features are designed specifically for those whose eyes and ears are not what they used to be.
Let me confess that I am somewhat obsessive about cleaning my teeth. I'mone of those people that get a gold star from my dental hygienist. Attimes it is not an easy feat doing all the brushing and flossing. Sowhen a colleague told me what he had seen at CES. I was intrigued andof course skeptical about this product.
HydraBrush™claims that I will get "whiter teeth, healthier gums, superior plaqueremoval, fresher breath and better check-ups using their brush". UhHuh!
