| | |
My friends and I searched for tiny dinosaurs at a creek outside New Rochelle, NY. We actually discovered a new dinosaur and a cast of its footprint. Dr. Bonnie Keache actually made the discovery and decided to name the "tiny dinosaur" Marc ericksonasuarus. Sorry Gary. Anyway see the attached pictures. Once we piece together the dinosaur, we'll send some more pictures. Happy Excavating! | | |

| | |
My name is Tom M(*****), and I wanted to thank you for the wi-fi signal boost tutorial. My roommate and I use the free connection from the Starbucks across the street from our apartment, but sometimes the signal strength or link quality is too low for a good connection. I found your tutorial and wanted to try it but couldn't find an ethernet cable, so I asked Ray, my roommate, if he had one and explained what it was for. Ray only had a USB cord (for his camera), though, so we tried it in place of the CAT5. Great news! It worked! | | |
| | |
The best signal we've had before is about 85% signal strength but only about 50% signal quality (because there is a lot of radio wave noise with all the secure wi-fi connections in our building), and that's on a good day. When we hooked up the cell-phone-USB antenna, we got 100% strength and an astonishing 100% quality! | | |
| | |
Ray said the cell phone radio waves help focus the wi-fi signal in one direction, which cuts down on the noise and increases the link quality. While it might not be as effective as the CAT5 (the USB is farther from the wi-fi antenna), it works well enough for us--we don't even have to use the salad bowl trick. Only my cell phone worked, however, because it has an internal antenna, according to Ray, so you might want to let people know that if they're having trouble getting it to work, they might need to buy a new phone. | | |
| | |
Luckily for us, we can just use my phone; it kinda sucks not being able to use the phone and internet at the same time, but it's worth the sacrifice. Ray also says the SRS TruSurround on my phone will help my laptop's wimpy speakers. It's win-win! | | |
| | |
I attached pictures of the setup with the cable disconnected and connected showing the link status of each. Awesome! Thanks again for your astonishing innovation! | | |

| | |
I just watched your tutorial on expediting snail mail. It sounds great to me, but I can't seem to find the three digit number for my regional distribution center. I searched all over the usps website with no luck. Also tried google search and wikipedia. Then I called 800-ask-usps. They told me to contact my local post office. I called my post office, and the guy I talked to didn't know anything about the Regional Distribution Center. Can you help me? | | |
| | |
Thanks, | | |

| | |
I watched your videos on YouTube and found them quite useful but spent quite a while trying to get Google TV but to no avail. I then wondered was it possile for someone to invite you to Google TV and the only person I know to have it is you. So if it is possible could you please invite me to it. | | |
| | |
Your fan, | | |

PS - Great videos | | |

| | |
I have tried the 'wrapping a cord around the cell phone' trick and it didn't work. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do. | | |
| | |
I have a dell laptop-inspiron 8100 with a wireless-G notebook Adapter 2.4 GHz 802.11g. I run windows XP pro. | | |
| | |
My cell phone is samsung a950.y103 (what ever that means) my service is via verizon. Don't know if this is a G3 phone but not sure. | | |
| | |
I have wraped an ethernet cabel around my cell phone (many times) and plugged the other end into the laptop ethernet plug. I got nothing. I can see 1 wireless signal with 1-2 bars before doing this and no more after. | | |
| | |
I am doing this right, or what else can I do to make this work? - Can you help? | | |
| | |
Thanks for you time and keep up the cool ideas. | | |
| | |
Chef Jon B(*****) | |
