Signature - Q1, 2008 - (Page 17) Living well is easier when you’re free to work, play and stay healthy wherever your day leads you. Sync your workout with your health goals, your office calendar with your social calendar and your family life with everything else. Bluetooth wireless technology makes it happen. 10:00 p.m. 7:43 p.m. Later that night, I find my teenage son and his buddies locked in video combat in the living room. Slouching in their chairs, they madly manipulate their wireless controllers and watch futuristic warriors slug it out on the plasma TV. My doctor has asked me to keep a record of my blood pressure, so just before bed I strap on the monitor, take a reading and send the data to my doctor’s office. The numbers look good. All that exercise must be paying off. I turn off the lights, already dreaming about tomorrow – another day in the Bluetooth wireless life. 7:44 p.m. I retreat to the peace and quiet of my home office, where I sync my PDA and PC calendars and catch up on e-mail. Some friends want to meet for dinner at a new restaurant downtown. I see that the restaurant has a TransSend logo on its Web site, so I send a copy of the menu, along with phone number, address and driving directions, to my PDA.
