Many cell phones don’t cover water-related damage, and do-it-yourself tactics like bowls or rice or hairdryers are questionable at best.

A  product called Dry-All claims to be able to repair your wet electronics once and for all–guaranteed. Available at Radio Shack and other retailers, the dehumidifier will restore cell phones to 0% humidity.

They have similar products for other electronic devices and important areas such as safes.

Dry All for cell phones retails for $29.99 the smartphone version is $59.99

Ameba TV is a new subscription-based, commerical-free channel for kids that streams online (or via a Roku or special set top box).

The channel is geared to kids 2-13, but sans commercials, unlike many other options for parents. Many of the shows come from around the world, which is a nice option as well.  It looks like they are still adding content continually so it should only get better.

The station is just $3.99/month, which is reasonable for unlimited streaming of thousands of on-demand videos, I think.

In the game, Max is a boy with a magic marker who has accidentally created a monster that you have to help him escape.  You help Max by drawing on the touchscreen objects that become active in the game (such as a staircase he can climb).

The game reminds me of Scribblenauts for Nintendo DS, but with the larger iPad screen the possibilities are more advanced.

The Grinch becomes “The Psychological Implications of Holiday-Motivated Materialism”

Green Eggs and Ham becomes “How Fear of the Unknown Hinders the Development of Informed Opinions”

and more.

Think about that next time you read one at bedtime.
