Jared Axelrod is an author, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a sculptor, a costume designer, a podcaster and quite a few other things that he's lost track of but will no doubt remember when the situation calls for it.
He is a founding member of the daily flash-fiction website 365 TOMORROWS, and the writer and producer of two science-fiction podcasts, “The Voice Of Free Planet X” and the serial “Aliens You Will Meet.
He is not domestic, he is a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.

Escape Pod 115: Conversations With And About My Toothbrush
July 19th, 2007
Read by Jared Axelrod (of The Department of Public Words).
“I read an interesting forum post last night,” my electric toothbrush told me over its low burr.”
“Thiff ouff thew be thood,” I said through my mouth of foam.
“It was!” he replied. “Using readily available components, Monkeymonkey turned his Intellibrush into a milk frother.”
I spit into the sink and set my toothbrush in its white ceramic charger. “What would I do with a milk frother?”
“Make cappucinos,” my toothbrush said, with a hint of resignation, as I rinsed and spit again.
“I don’t drink cappucinos,” I said.
“You could start!”
Rated G. Contains a very mild reference to vibrating appliances.

I had fun with this episode, so it’s cool that it’s gotten such a positive response. Even been Boing-Boinged.
