It could be a pill, the perfect exercise machine, skin cream, a juicer or the latest gadget to cure whatever ails you. And we want to buy into the magic. It’s so easy to want to believe that life’s greatest issues can be cured with a single product or belief. But in most cases, real change takes hard work-deep in the trenches kind of hard. Sometimes we’re not ready to face that change. Believing in easy solutions can feel like an easy remedy when the truth of what we need to do is too great. Are you going through this now? Is there something you have been denying that needs your attention? Hope you’ll take some time this weekend to revisit the things in your ...

Seriously. Don’t think about elephants, or big floppy elephant ears, or elephants at circuses, or elephants in the wild. Now, be honest: you totally just thought of an elephant. Didn’t you? That’s exactly how I felt all week when I tried to stay away from the internet. When I opted to spend a week away from the internet and other technological devices, I expected my brief affair with the IRL (“in real life”) world to whisk me away into romantic oblivion. Sadly, that was not the case. Instead, I spent a lot of offline time thinking about the technology that I was sorely missing…and about the stress it invites into my life. The constantly-updating Twitter feeds, the myri...

It is the epitome of what “Web 2.0″ is supposedly about — personalized, user-created social content that connects people to one another. And it does that pretty darned well, too. I’ve re-connected with old friends from high school — friends I hadn’t seen or talked to in over 20 years — and even my first girlfriend from middle school. Are these connections “deep”? No, of course not. But they are very real and they exist. Before Facebook came along, these connections were non-existent. These people in my life had faded not only from my life, but from my memory as well. Facebook changed all of that and brought them back into my life, no matter h...

And there are a lot of things we want to get done in the next two days: Get in some personal TLC time. Whether this means having an orgasm (solo or not) or getting a massage, it’s going to be all about us at some point this weekend. Read. The weather is perfect for just sitting outside with an iced tea and getting caught up in a story. An added bonus? Reading will boost our brain power. Sample some fancy cheeses. It’s been a while since we took a trip to the local fromagerie (we took French in college, no big deal) to buy some cheese we can’t afford. But it’s totally worth it, because dairy could reduce our risk of heart disease. Rent a movie. Going to the movies nowadays will set you back quite a ...

Here’s another one to add to the list: the Beauty Smile Trainer. Mile wide smile This clever device comes to us from Japan, the birth place of the wackiest beauty gadgets in the world. It’s designed for all of those people who are dissatisfied with the quality of their smile. I don’t mean just the whiteness of your teeth, I’m talking about the actual shape of your mouth when you open it to smile.  According to Inventor Blogspot, this rubber gadget fits inside your mouth and supposedly enhances your natural smile by training your mouth muscles to assume the right shape.

The device is already for sale to plastic surgeons and dermatologists for facial tightening and eyebrow lifting and the company claims to be developing a handheld version for consumers that will treat acne and rejuvenate skin. The dermatologist version sells for $89,000, so let’s hope the home version is just a tad cheaper. It will also be interesting to see how its anti-acne efficacy stacks up against other beauty gadgets like Thermaclear.

(I recall reading a week or so ago about 18-year-old Brittany Meier who is blind and who has autism, and who “can play on the piano just about any song she’s heard, including “Piano Man” and “Ave Maria,” though she can barely speak.) As I discovered when I visited him at school last week, Charlie has learned to use a calculator and is adding double-digit numbers. Just today I came across this gadget, a calculator with numbers on the keys that plays music—-but would it confuse Charlie?……..one to add to the what he might want want list.

Well, I could have, but I didn’t want to. So there. What I did: along with all the other gadget lovers of the Western hemisphere (i.e. techno-sheep), I am now the proud owner of an iPhone. It works, and I love it, and I shall probably be spending many hours during the next few days playing with all of the programs. Loving something that the industrial designers and engineers at Apple knew I would love makes me a little disappointed in myself. I had hoped that one day, I would be the great contrarian shining beacon in the night, valiantly campaigning against some tempting but wrongheaded trend. I figure that I’ll have to wait for the next trend to come by. So much for willpower.
