I’m finding this hard to believe but here is the video to prove it.


After being outside buried in snow and dirt, rain pouring in it and totally exposed to the elements; I put a battery back into Elana’s Palm Centro and… well look for yourself…

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    Also, Mythbusters debunked the whole “indestructible roaches” thing a long time ago.

    I think the Centro’s screen is the most remarkable part of this story. This unit can serve as an organ donor for the replacement device – quick, harvest!
