I realized, that sometimes toothpicks aren't the correct size for all tooth-picking needs. Sometimes, you need something smaller. I suppose you could also need something bigger, but for that you could probably use the eraser end of a pencil. In any case, smaller would be helpful, so you could have toothpicks say half the diameter of a normal one. Unfortunately on further examination of this theory, I realized they already exist. Usually referred to as splinters. I think the great idea was defeated before it even started.

In other news, Cingular is releasing push to talk. I'm not sure this is useful, though I suppose it proves that a good idea doesn't sit still for very long, and after verizon did it, it was bound to spread. I still maintain I'd prefer better coverage and cheaper plans then business oriented features, but obviously enough people like the 2 way thing to do the 2 way thing everywhere. Hopefully they'll have it on some nicer phones - but doesn't it defeat the coolness of your razr if you're standing in the middle of the bread aisle yelling at your phone if you should get white or wheat?
