Safe-T-Bug/Safety Bug
LED Light
Link: Panther Vision
From Dick's favourite LED gadget makers Panther Vision, the Safe-T-Bug (or Safety Bug) has 5 ultra-bright red LED flashing lights which you can attach (by pin, adhesive or magnet) to your cap, backpack, clothing or even your dog's leash for showing you the way. It is so new it's not even on Panther Vision's website yet. A real scoop by Dick!
[Update: The product has finally appeared on the PantherVision website, and is now called the Safety Bug.
The Queen Mary 2
Dick had a great time on the Queen Mary 2. Listen to Dick's account of how well-equipped the Queen Mary 2 is, and learn what is the difference between a boat and a ship.
Dick has posted some of his QM2 photos on Flickr. Here's the link.
More Gas
Ray from San Antonio in Texas was prompted by the recent references to the Mad "It's A Gas" recording to look for his Mad CD which had Alfred E Neuman on its cover. Lo and behold, or Hark, It's A Gas was on that CD.
Leo was sent a disco version of "It's A Gas" which Leo plays on the show. The belches were made by Dick and Sara Fowler. Leo also found a big-band version of "It's A Gas" on seeqpod (thanks to the chatroom), which he likes better.

TTTT Inspiration
Kerry Lutz from Armonk, New York (previous letters to DGW in Episodes 318 and 403) has been inspired by DGW to get his children to clear the dinner table and do the washing up. He just says to his children, it's "Turn-The-Tables-Tuesday". The children have no riposte to that.

Brand New Monday Jingle
It's a brand new week and a brand new day and a brand new Monday Jingle, from Dan Lueders again, which has incorporated Leo's Monday ditty, their occasional slogan "The worse your life is, the better we sound" and even the Gravy Slogan.
Rock My Teeth
Patrick Warn from Georgia, Vermont writes about Rock My Teeth - a musical tooth-whitening system. Attach the whitening kit to your iPod and the music, Professor Bocelli claims, helps line up the peroxide molecules to make it easier for them to penetrate through the enamel into the dentin to whiten the teeth. Watch the video here. Dick thinks the HydraBrush (Episodes 226, 480) - though Dick thinks it's called Turbo Brush - makes a lot more sense.
Cotati Accordion Festival
Dick is joing Leo at TWiTLive on Friday 20 June 2008, and Dick has had difficulty getting a room at the local hotels, because that weekend is the Cotati Accordion Festival. Dick manages to book himself a 2-night package at the Metro Cafe and Hotel, one of Leo's favourites. Kim from Wild Planet is going to demonstrate their Christmas toys and she'll come dressed as an elf.

iRobot Looj
Automated Gutter Cleaner
Link: iRobot
From iRobot, the Looj is a gutter cleaning robot that removes leaves and debris from your gutter. It uses a rechargeable Nickel Cadmium battery, and the handle detaches from the robot to form the remote control. Put the robot in the gutter and use the remote control to move the robot along the entire gutter. The robot can move back and forth. The blades at its front, equipped with bristle, rotate (in either direction) at 500 rpm to clean off sludge and debris. There's a video demo at the iRobot site.
Roomba Lighthouse
Although not the subject of a DGW episode, the iRobot Roomba has been mentioned before (in Episode 165). The Roomba now has a Virtual Wall Lighthouse which directs the Roomba where to go.
It's a brand new week
Anish, who rhymes with quiche, as Leo rhymes with mayo, writes again (Episodes 322, 378) and has an observation to make. Leo always sings the same sort of stuff every Monday, "It's a brand new week and a brand new day and a brand new daily giz wiz." Another idea for a jingle?
