Dumb criminal!!

A phillies fan stole three 2008 World Series rings from a Park office after being ejected from the game. But left behind an application he had filled out looking for a job at the park. It contained all of his current information so police had no problem finding him. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/If-you-re-going-to-steal-World-Series-rings-ple?urn=mlb,195133

Two missing Winona teens

Two Winona teens have been missing since October 3. Their parents and authorities are searching for them. They were tracked as far as Chicago when their cell phones were either shut off or the batteries went dead. They are both friends of my son and he is very worried. No foul play is suspected but it is very uncharacteristic of these two teens to do something like this. This article has their pictures and a picture of the car in which they were traveling. http://www.wkbt.com/global/story.asp?s=11284250

anti-wi-fi paint?

The University of Tokyo has developed a paint that can prevent a wi-fi signal from getting through. Just paint the outside of a building and no one can access the wi-fi from outside of that building. As I read the article, I kept thinking why a password wouldn't work lol. http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/151779

Lego House is demolished

The Lego House was built for the BBC show called "Toy Stories." The show's presenter had planned to live in the house but Denbies Wine Estate in England wanted their land back and no one wanted to move the house. It had been offered for free but was estimated to cost $80,000 to dismantle and reconstruct elsewhere. Legoland will be taking the pieces and using them for a charity event to benefit The National Autistic Society. Be sure to watch the video--it shows the inside of the house. http://realestate.msn.com/blogs/listed.aspx?feat=1302418&GT1=35000

another bottle makes it across the ocean

Every year on her birthday, Ann Hernandez along with her boyfriend Alan Tomaska would throw a bottle into the ocean with a note inside hoping that it would be found in some exotic far off place. Her dream finally came true when a French couple found the 2003 bottle and sent her a postcard to let her know that they had found it. Unfortunately, Ann had passed away before realizing her dream. The French couple has made new friends during their search for Ann and hopes someday to meet all of them. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/10/02/french_couple_receive_womans_2003_note_in_a_bottle/?page=1
