Show Notes



- Instead of going out a purchasing new component cables why not use your old composite cables?

- To far away from your car for the remote to work? Use your head as an antenna.

- Using a glue stick, tin foil cardboard, and an antenna from Freeantennas.com will help you focus your wireless signal.

- If you're worried about your laptop overheating you can use Andy's book, or really any book, to keep it cool.

- To fix those scratched discs you can try toothpaste and a cotton ball.

- If you've ever dropped a phone into a body of water, like Andy has over and over again, you can use rice to absorb that water (or whatever) from the phone.

For the laptop, I use great expectations for the laptop prop.
