Our buddy Andy Ihnatko, who most of you probably know from his writing in Macworld or the Chicago Sun-Times, is breaking into TV. On last week's CBS Early Saturday show [1] he explains, in his inimitable style, the best (and worst) ways of drying out cell phones (and by extension, iPods and iPhones) that suffer a dunking in a puddle, sink, or worse. Who knew that kitty litter worked well for bringing sodden electronics back to life?
