Some random jottings
Electric Toothbrushes
After a few years of being encouraged by dentists to get an electric toothbrush, we finally succumbed and surrendered the battery operated ones. This new fang-polisher is wonderful with the difference in the end result being quite noticeable. And, ever the one to be easily amused, this Braun prompts you every 30 secs over 2 minutes to move to another mouthy quadrant and start cleaning that area.
Google+
I've been testing out the new Google+ social networking site, and it's showing promise. It has a very clean look, as do many of the Google suite products. It's system of arranging friends and contacts, called Circles, is very simple and very efficient and it allows posts to be made only to specific Circles, or to everyone should you wish. It has an integrated video chat called Huddle and integrates to Google Talk. No doubt other features will be added as we move through the beta testing stage. There is already a lot of hype and discussion about being a Facebook 'killer' although i think that's premature as FB is now well established and many users wll be loathe to make the move. We'll see.
Repatriations
I'd posted earlier about the repatriations when they move to Brize Norton; more specifically about the rubbish that was being repeated. I'm glad to see that someone who has been intimately involved with those ceremonies has written to debunk the stories, and I'm pleased to be able to provide a link here:
