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.

Self-Destruct Button USB Hub
USB Hub/Computer Accessories
Link: übergizmo archives
Originally carried on www.geekstuff4u.com, a Japanese site. If you want a USB Hub with a feature that serves no useful purpose, like this blog, this gadget is for you. This unpowered USB Hub has a self-destruct button which you can activate only after a series of steps, including a using a security key. The snag is, the self-destruct button doesn't seem to destroy anything, but nobody knows that, and it's the threat that counts.
Watch the youtube video below for a step-by-step demonstration, complete with the box that the USB Hub comes in.
Netcasts You Love ...
... From People You Trust. The TWiT Network intro has changed after only 2 weeks, to switch from "podcasts" to "netcasts", after Leo's acceptance speech for the award "Podcaster of the Year".
USB Engine Hub
GeeksStuff4U now carries a new USB Hub, called the Engine Hub.
Still Waiting for that Letters Jingle
No more Letters Jingle from Finland, and Leo is hoping Ashley Witt who did the TWiT theme might come up with something.
Ground Zero
Trevor Tupper found a Smithsonian Magazine for August 2004 in a guesthouse in Vermont which he "stole" and sent to Dick. The cover story was "Ground Zero For Global Warming: Tuvalu".
