Sexiest Toothbrush Ever?

GeekSugar — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:30:13 -0700

They call it the "sexiest travel toothbrush on earth" (or at least Design kingpin, Josh Spear does) and despite not being sure what makes a toothbrush sexy, I'm pretty convinced. The OHSO was engineered to be the ultimate travel toothbrush, as in useful and durable. According to the company's CEO it's loved by "travelers, rock stars and road warriors."

It's self-dispensing so toothpaste is stored in the handle for safekeeping. The window shows you how much paste is in the chamber and when you turn the knob clockwise the paste is dispensed though the rubber nozzle on the bristle head. Sexy, right? Even sexier? It kinda resembles the OhMiBod.

I'm into it because it's refillable and works with any type of toothpaste. Also it was designed not to leak - except for the small nozzle tip, toothpaste is never exposed to the air. So it should never "gum up" in the chamber. For a video about how it works and a photo gallery, read more

Geek Gift Guide: Boss

GeekSugar — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:14:19 -0800

I've been wrestling with the ultimate holiday dilemma: do I get my boss a gift this holiday season or not? On the one hand, it's kind of pushy, and she probably doesn't expect it, but on the other hand, she puts up with my tardiness and wild ideas year round. If I do decide to, these are my top picks:

Toothbrush Sanitizer

If your boss is a germaphobe like mine, he or she would probably be tickled pink to get a Toothbrush Sanitizer that uses UV light to eliminate up to 99.9 percent of germs. Get the Toothbrush Sanitizer for $50 from Brookstone.

Smart Find Key Tracker

The Smart Find Key Tracker, $25, will locates your boss' keys with an audible alarm from up to 80 feet away. She'll just have to press the key ring transmitter button and the matching key ring will answer with a loud, 85-decibel alarm from anywhere in her home or office. If you get her this, she'll actually leave the office at six instead of hanging around and looking over everything you do.

Nike iPod Sport Kit

If your boss is the sporty type, she'll love the Nike Sport Kit, which will allow her Nike shoe to talk to her iPod nano. She'll just have to plug the receiver into her iPod nano and place the sensor in her Nike+ shoe. The sensor uses a sensitive accelerometer to measure the user's activity, then wirelessly transfers the data to the receiver on the iPod nano. Get a Nike Sport Kit for $29.
