It can happen where you are too. No data center required.

Spotted and obeyed on West Bloomfield Road in Bloomington, Indiana: a robot traffic control flagger.

Hard to wear, but that’s not the point

My wife just reported from the Iris van Herpen show in Brooklyn. Wow.

I remain charged about both

Wired has a good review of electric toothbrushes. I’ve had both the brands that Wired names winners: a Sonicare and an Oral B. The Sonicare was an early model that I bought late in the last millennium. One battery charge lasted for weeks, and it didn’t crap out until 2019, when I replaced it with an Oral B from Costco, which I bought only because it was a good deal. (And there were two units in the package. Very handy, because I left one behind on a trip.) One dispute with the review. It says, “Oral-B says the battery lasts about a week, but we squeezed out 10 days in testing. That’s decent, though not as long as some other models.” While I’ll agree that my old Sonicare’s battery life was amazing, I’ve taken the Oral B on two-week trips without worrying about losing the charge. I do believe that electric toothbrushes like these beat the manual kind.
