The couple inside the Hummer escaped the 8:30 a.m. collision with bumps and bruises,

no duh!


And as for doing other things in the car other than driving while the vehicle is moving, that's why you have a passenger! (or get one). Tonight, I drove around town with my siblings and whenever my phone rang, I let my cousin (who was sitting in the passenger seat) check/answer my phone. The only time my hands left the wheel was at stop lights (then I shift into park).

When I was on the mainland, i was tempted to get a gps device for my laptop with audible driving instructions. I don't really need such a thing anymore. Maybe he was too lazy to print out google maps instructions for his destination. Yup, better get a human navigator!

I have also heard of a thing called "war driving" or "stumbling" where you drive around and look for open wireless networks. But again..let the passenger do it!

I believe there was a competition or something like that a year or two ago where teams went out all over oahu and collected data on which wifi signal was secure or not.

But I have a wifi signal locator keyfob on my work keys, so when I go somewhere with my laptop I look if I can find a wifi signal. If it does, then I'll bust out my laptop (this is when I'm walking around) and see if its secured.

A wifi locator key fob...now THAT's the epitome of Geek! Now if they can cram it down onto a watch with an OLED display and USB thumbdrive that would be the watch we've all been wanting as THE most geeky
