I had a bunch of stuff to load into the truck before leaving South Texas for my three-hour drive back home. To save space and make it easier to carry everything, I tossed a few items, including my iPod and Kindle, into what I thought was an empty ice chest.
You can guess the ending of this story.
The ice chest, of course, wasn't empty. It had a couple of inches of water in it. Not enough to make it "splash" when I dropped the stuff in, but enough to thoroughly soak everything over the course of the three hour trip.
After a quick online search for 'wet iPod' and 'wet 'Kindle, those devices are now air-drying on top of the cable box (low level warmth without forcing the water further in, as would happen if I used a hair dryer), where they will stay for at least 48 hours. This was recommend over using a hair dryer or the 'put 'em in a ziploc bag with a couple of handfuls of rice' approach.
Even if they eventually work okay, I'll never hear the end of this from my wife or the kids...

If it works, be sure to share the method. Mr H always manages to drop electronics in puddles.
