The Federal Aviation Administration is believed to be re-examining the rules which prohibit the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing.

According to the New York Times, the FAA plans to conduct tests to see  whether there's any danger of new devices affecting the operation of the plane.

However, the mandated test procedures are so thorough that there's real doubt as to whether devices could be approved before they're completely out of date.

The blurb I got in e-mail that linked to this story misspelled the word "fortunately" in the following sentence... "Unfortunately, it looks like cellphones will still be off the list." See how they accidentally put the letters "Un-" in front of the correct spelling?

If there's just *one* convenience I absolutely do not need at any point in the future, it's the person behind me able to shout into their cellphone during takeoff and landing. {Shudder}

Some days you've really gotta love the Internet. Considering I'm paying like $2 a blade for a razor I bought who knows how many years ago... I'm in. I'll be checking this out later today.

Update 3/20/12: Although I signed up back on March 6th, apparently everyone else did, too, so DollarShaveClub has hit delays. I'm supposed to get my razor and blades in the next week or so, even though I was charged back on the 6th. Hmm. Hope this works. 

Is there some sort of grey-suit law for men in New Jersey that I'm not aware of?

Yeah, I must be getting old. Not only do I get maybe 3 texts a week (most of which I ignore), but I also feel compelled to blog things like "yeah, I must be getting old."
