I’m the tech support geek for a satellite phone company and I got a call today from a reporter at Entertainment Weekly! It seems they’re doing a story called “What We Learned From Summer Blockbusters” and had some questions about satellite phones. Naturally, the first thing I told her is that they won’t work inside a dinosaur. (For those of you who haven’t seen JP III a dino eats a guy with a sat phone and then everybody can tell when the dino’s about because they can hear the phone ringing.) Anyways, she had some general questions about how the things work, and I filled her in on everything. She took my name, so I don’t know if it’ll appear in the story or not. Be too cool if it did.
(Hey, ya wanted “mundane,” ya wanted “pointless” ya got it!)
