has your kid dropped your ipod into the toilet?

or, like me, have you maybe possibly leaned over and your phone just swan-dived right out of your shirt pocket into the dogs' water bowl? aww crap.  well, you may want to invest in one of these genius bheestie bags ($20).  it draws water out of electronics, so you don't have to just chuck your wet, malfunctioning phone.  of course, it's recommended that you buy the bag before you actually have the accidental run-in with the water, since the first 24 hours are crucial in reviving a small electronic device.

you'll probably have the inclination to whip out a hairdryer if you drop your phone into water (was it just me?), but DO NOT use it.  there are some great DIY tips listed here that worked for removing the water yourself immediately.
