Dude… pause this video and take a shower. If you already have taken one today, you’re in about the 50th percentile. Hygiene is not an achievement, trust me on this. You might even consider brushing your teeth! It may be too much to ask some of you to do so once a week, but try… just – try. If you’re looking for a Geeky toothbrush, look no further than the Sonicare Rs930.

I love the Sonicare. The Sonicare FlexCare RS930 rechargeable toothbrush, with sanitizer, features 3 two-minute brushing modes: “Clean” mode for full power and optimal cleaning, “Sensitive” mode for gentler brushing in sensitive areas, and “Massage” mode for a stimulating, soothing cleaning action. The specially engineered UV sanitizer helps eliminate bacteria commonly found on your toothbrush.

That cleaner is what makes it so Geeky, and so awesome. It shoots UV rays at the toothbrush head, cleaning and sanitizing it. I mean, seriously. Your toothbrush is in the bathroom, along with the toilet. There are germs flying around everywhere. That’s just disgusting.

The Sonicare gets my vote for the World’s Geekiest toothbrush. What’s your choice?

I Have 10 Cavities

I Have 10 Cavities is a post from Chris Pirillo

Yes, you read that right. I went to the Dentist last week, and found out that I have ten cavities. In light of that, here are some tips to keep your teeth healthy from my friend, Dr. Greg Birch.

Use a new sharp toothbrush, and use it well. The sharpness of the nylon bristles matter much more than gimmicks, and technique is important. Use the modified bass technique, and a SOFT brush. What matters is the newness of the bristles, not the stiffness of them, most brushes are dull after 3 months. Wash it in the dishwasher a couple of times a month to disinfect it (or after you have a cold etc.)
Loop your floss. Tie your floss in a 4-5 inch loop, work your way around the loop (for most people this is easier than wrapping around fingers). This trick works great for kids, and the elderly, and for pretty much everyone else. Floss aids like The Reach are excellent too.
Use fluoridated toothpaste. The concentration of fluoride in toothpaste is nominal, it takes a certain concentration on the surfaces of teeth to kill bacteria and strengthen teeth. Crest is the only PROVEN anti-cavity toothpaste, but all other brands with the same concentration work just as well. In areas where the water is fluoridated it doesn’t matter as much, but if you are drinking bottled water it does. The bottled water trend in many cities has cavity rates going up.
ChewXxylitol gum. Xylitol sugar slows bacterial acid production, and stimulates salivary flow (spit has good stuff in it for your teeth, washing them, and killing bacteria) Chew Trident (with xylitol) , or spray after fructose sodas, chocolates, or other sweets to decrease acid levels in your mouth.
Brush or scrape your tongue. This is perhaps the most neglected area of the mouth. After brushing and flossing, the slimy fungus on your tongue just plants itself back on your teeth. Tongue cleaners are everywhere, yes they gag but do the best you can. It will freshen breath, and keep your mouth healthy.

Electric Toothbrushes: Sonicare vs Ultreo

Electric Toothbrushes: Sonicare vs Ultreo is a post from Chris Pirillo

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

When is the last time you brushed your teeth? Hopefully it was sometime today. Right now, I’m brushing my teeth with a totally Geeky toothbrush, the Ultreo. It tells you when you need to switch quadrants in your mouth. How cool is that?
My friend Dr. Greg Birch sent me a new Ultreo Ultrasound Sonic toothbrush. I’ve been using a Sonicare toothbrush for awhile, and have been very happy with it. I had to laugh when Greg held up the identical toothbrush during our video conversation.
The Ultreo is the first power toothbrush to combine patented ultrasound waveguide technology with precisely tuned sonic bristle action. Ultreo’s bristles create microbubbles that are powerfully activated by nearly 4 million cycles of ultrasound energy per brushing channeled by a patented ultrasound waveguide. Some of the features are:

Sonic Bristles With Power Tip: Sonic action bristles with power tip clean away plaque upon contact and create microbubbles.
Patented Ultrasound Waveguide: Channels ultrasound energy into the bubbles.
Auto Shut-Off Timer: Automatically shuts off after the dental professional-recommended 2 minutes of brushing time.
Brushing Interval Signal: Signals every 30 seconds to help you clean all areas of your mouth equally.
Programmable Brush Head Replacement Indicator: When it’s time to change your brush head, the word “REPLACE” will illuminate. Programmable for 1 or 2 users per handle.
Battery Charge Status Indicator: Tells you the level of charge on the battery. With a full charge, you can use Ultreo for up to 28 brushings without additional charging.

The Ultreo boasts cleaner, healthier, and whiter teeth. It’s easy to see that it will live up to its claims.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
