Help!!

I just read about the Help line of products today. A simple way to address a headache or a cut. The band-aids sound high-tech, they are made of a "futuristic material" used in hospitals.

Unrelated to cuts and headaches, the iPhone might be getting 3G in the next 60 days. I just read about this today, but Walt Mossberg alluded to it in an interview a week ago, then later tried to backpedal. I'm not really sure if this is a big improvement unless you spend all your time in an urban area (ie. you aren't a mt. biker), but the potential of it is appealing. I'm still holding off on the iPhone anyway, at least for a little longer. I'm inching closer - they finally made it available to business accounts and I am finally going to upgrade my mac os to Leopard, so the barriers to ownership are slowly dropping away.

I read about this new dance Tecktonik (a mix of rave and breakdancing), that is big in France, so I went on YouTube to see what it's all about. it is apparently a modern version of disco. Mullets and muscle shirts are de rigeur. This video of a student named "Jey Jey" has been watched by more than 8 million people. I think it would be fun to be able to do that. There's something oddly appealing about it to me, I guess cuz I used to love to dance. Quite a work out. It would be a novel way to get in some off-season cross training, too. If that first video wasn't way too, um, disco, for you, here's another one.
