My Internet Went Away
Sweet.
Lady calls Leo Laporte's Tech Guy Show claiming her WI-FI access has "disappeared", come to find out that she doesn't even have a router! She's been stealing someones wi-fi for the past year! She even bought a wi-fi extender hoping to get it back. BEST Tech Guy caller EVER. PERIOD.
My mood:
amused

TEDTalks : Gary Lauder's new traffic sign: Take Turns
Pretty cool to watch small numbers yield big numbers. Traffic wonks will enjoy this 6min video.
Fifty percent of traffic accidents happen at intersections. Gary Lauder shares a brilliant and cheap idea for helping drivers move along smoothly: a new traffic sign that combines the properties of "Stop" and "Yield" -- and asks drivers to be polite.
