What to do when you have left your key in your car

This may come in handy someday.

Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Apparently someone tried it and it worked.

viral links - check later for more

1) see here, some funny photoshop satire on W Bush.

2) download Thousand Hand Guanyin here, skip to 2:20 after you downloaded from this link. This is a performance by handicapped (I guess hearing or speech handicapped) dancers, in the closing ceremony of Para-Olympic in Greece, by the Chinese delegation

3) the Numa Numa dance (with subtitle) "arguably become one of the most famous online video clips", very cool Romania Techno song (Love under the Linden Trees) with NJ lipsinc dance. Gary Brolsma lipsync to a cool song in front of a webcam, downloaded 6.5 million times on internet in a couple months, then CNN, VH1 the rest is history...Then made into Wiki where you can find all you want to know about this phenomenon. Then hundreds of parodies were created, of which this is the one I like most (if you understand some Japanese you would appreciate more)

4) stupid ipod spoof: iPod flea

5) Monday sucks on polar ice sheet.

6) interesting photoshops

blocked in China >()< !

So blogspot is blocked in China! (see here and here)
Now that google has established an office in China, can't they at least do something on it? e.g. split it into 2 sections, make all the censored content on another server/IP address?

I guess I just have to move my blogs somewhere else. :(
