Better yet - what happens when I'm out of town at a restaurant, and my battery runs out in my pocket after I've ordered dinner? I'd better get good at washing dishes.

Cars are used to transport people and cargo. Kidnappers and drug smugglers use them to accomplish their evil deeds.

None of these links work. The pane on the right goes blank, and that is it.

Brian, you lost me at "trainwreck." I think your snark is broken.

@andywhoa: Good point. This needs explanation.

The Today show aired this footage this week on their own broadcast... and now they fired a guy for it, and are trying to pull it?

I'm both pissed and disappointed that Jesus Diaz wasn't tasked with writing this. After his egregious diatribe it would have been good medicine, and subsequently engendered my respect.

@WetSkeletonz: If a teacher is not willing to keep up with technology, it is a detriment to students. I think it is important to give teachers freedom to use their skills as they feel necessary, but along with that freedom should be the responsibility to stay current - even ahead.
