The BruBruBrush promises to clean your teeth in less than a minute
On my way to the cinema to watch Ford v Ferrari I received a message with a photo and a link to a website. 'Three-headed electric toothbrush cleans teeth in less than a minute.' Hehe, I replied. I thought it was a late April Fools' joke. Then I realized it was from the Internet, where the bizarre is normal and the normal is bizarre. So I checked. It is not a joke.
The BruBruBrush is a strange-looking triple-head oral care tool that, according to its Kickstarter page, will clean your teeth "super-efficiently, gently and without your attention to the process of brushing." A pledge of $139 will get you one, when and if they reach production.
The device cleans twice as fast as a regular toothbrush, the folks over at BruBruBrush claim. It is water resistant and will work fine with a regular toothpaste. The bristles are soft and replaceable, and a single charge is worth 25 minutes of brushing.
Here's a video of the BruBruBrush in action:
What do you think? Will this toothbrush take dental care to a whole new level?
Gilbert Legrand doesn't see the world like the rest of us. You see a scrubbing brush, he sees an Apache chief. You see a a pair of scissors, he sees smooching lovers. The French artist's imagination is so wild and unrestricted that he can turn the most ordinary objects into unexpected sources of delight. I just spent half an hour lurking on his website, and you should, too.
Here's a strange tribal instrument I never heard of before now. Originally from the Tinananon tribe of southern Philippines, the bowl-shaped Salimbaa is made of metal and wood, has 30 bronze wound strings, and is played using two small sticks. Caleb Byerly, who makes lost/extinct musical tools in his North Carolina workshop, has an interesting story on how he made his first Salimbaa.

Rejection takes many forms: The varsity team, Tinder, the credit card, the university, the girl next door, Google AdSense, the job. Growing up, I never wanted to be a journalist. I wanted to be a pilot, or a shipmaster, like Captain Nemo. And then in my second year of college, I decided I wanted to be in public relations. After graduation, I applied to seven PR firms in Manila and got seven rejection emails. The job seemed perfect. The interviews went smooth. I was optimistic. But, they hired someone else. Being rejected after a job application can seriously break your self confidence and morale. I was devastated when I got turned down too many times, and I became depressed, angry and quite difficult to live with. However, I realized that wallowing in misery and regret will never help. So I took a step back, analyzed my job search strategy and determined my flaws. Have you been rejected recently? Cheer up! Just because someone says no today doesn't mean it'...
