Needless to say, I wish I had found it ages ago. Our geekiness knows no limits and now that Isla is crawling (and trying to stand when the temptation is good enough), nothing is safe! Thanks for this - we'll be putting it to use immediately. I came across this article when searching for a way to save our cable box from our daughter. Needless to say, I wish I had found it ages ago.

Huh. I'll give that some thought while I'm standing in line at Best Buy, scooping up the holiday specials. Richard, you're too kind. We will definitely check out Flat Stanley; I will meanwhile nurse fantasies about having a child I can store in an envelope.

We have three kids (with lots of cousins) and we've been hit with all of these problems - greasy iphone, foreign objects in dvd slots, broken and scratched dvd's etc. We've decided to hold off buying the nice new home entertainment stuff until they are a little older. I keep all my coolest gadgets in my office, where it's off limits to the munchkins. Great post!
