 Re: Random Questions Thread
Random tech question: Is there a smart phone app out there that if my wife gets lost she can hit a button and it can tell me where she is? Say I'm at work or home on a regular phone and I have access to my e-mail and the web.
Also assume that when she's in such a state of mind that she's too flustered/hostile to understand a GPS.
This happens enough that I'm considering throwing money at a solution. Her vehicle is not equipped with OnStar. -- TAZ

 Re: Random Questions Thread
I know AT&T offers a location service as well. Not sure what the cost is.

 Re: Random Questions Thread
The cost is having to do business with AT&T.

Have we ever created a list of possible Nerd Merit Badges or Nerd Achievements?

 Re: Random Questions Thread
Why is it that one day helping on set construction feels more fulfilling than my past three years at my paying job?
