There has been some discussion of late about the convergence of technological doodads such as um e-mail, instant messaging and blogging. Or, as I mentioned to Beta in the car this morning, telephones and television. "Who would ever want that? Why would anyone want to do that?" she said. "Like, call-in shows, you know. Used to be you wanted to make a call, you used the phone screwed onto the wall in the kitchen or went to a phone booth. Now they have that personality test show where people call in with their cell phones." "What people?" "You have a point, don't they have an internet connection?" "Right. Like, I'm an armadillo." "No fooling?" "Yep. And some African love-goddess." "Alright."
But what I'm really wondering about as regards this trend towards technological convergence is when all the blue gels I use every morning will become a single product. Toothpaste, hair gel, shampoo, shower soap, shaving cream and non-dairy creamer in a single environmentally-friendly pump can. Technology is my friend.

It's orange sparkly gel. I didn't check the label so I'm not sure if you get the daily Vitamin C requirement. Looked much like the gel I use in my hair that's supposed to lift my roots and give me volume. Frightening to think about actually lol
