Well?!? Where is it?

I'm on the road today. I'm a member of an external advisory committee for a research program at a university about an hour by car from my own. Not bad duty. You get to listen to scientists talking about science all day (some of us actually like that) and you get asked your opinions (whether well…
This comes from Buzz Out Loud Episode 865 which got the story from Slashdot regarding a possible new technology that would use piezoelectric devices to charge cell phones while you talk. The original article the slashdot story pointed to talked mostly about the advances in piezoelectric devices,…
There is considerable evidence that using a cell phone impairs driving ability. The research has even reached the popular consciousness: hosts of radio call-in shows ask cell-phone callers to pull over before making their comments; drivers give wide berths to people who are obviously talking while…
There's a discussion I was clued into recently, taking place over at a spiked, a reporting website, which describes it self thusly: spiked is an independent online phenomenon dedicated to raising the horizons of humanity by waging a culture war of words against misanthropy, priggishness, prejudice…

Just hand out your number to everyone online who asks for it. You'll be sure to have it ringing enough to never lose it again.

Does the dog look perturbed when you call the phone?

In the left-bottom drawer in the fridge, next to the grape tomatoes.

Oh, sorry, that's where the celery is. My bad.

My guess is that you wore a coat or heavier shirt yesterday and left the phone in its pocket. I do that every spring and fall, when the temps are all over the place.

Between the couch cushions

Right where you left it, of course!

You will find it in the last place you look for it.

It's in the car, between the seat and the door.

Where's my cell phone?, indeed. When you stop to think about it, isn't that the question we're all asking? For some it is the Cell Phone of Independence, the freedom to travel without fear; for others, it is the Cell Phone of Community, be it business, friends, family, school, or church. For still others, it is the Cell Phone of Intimacy, allowing constant closeness to those most dear even while grocery shopping, driving down the highway, or enjoying a play or motion picture. On this St. Nokia's Day, it is my fervent prayer that each of you finds your cell phone, whatever it may be, in the bosom of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I don't know its location, but I do know its velocity.

Doesn't help much, I know.

This is actually one of the times where a conversation with your dog is likely to be the best method of gathering information

If you're at home, it's at work, else it's at home.

I recently ...'misplaced' the family camera. Why did I not think to ask the world wide web where it had gone..?!?

By the way, found it stuffed under the front seat of the family's second car. Silly me.

It's on Sol-3.
GPS tracking, which proly won't help. If you're that desperate and properly skilled you may wish to search the Maker sites for a signal tracker thingie. If the batteries are still charged you could pick up the 'I'm On/Here I am' signal like using a dowsing rod...the techie kind that actually works. ;)

I have it.
I'll call you now to arrange a ransom.

Oh, %^%£^

This seems somewhat amusing in this context.

Ha! You think you did it... You think you found something the internet cannot answer.

Well, my answer is 100% certain and correct: Your phone is in the U.S.A.
