Here's another free travel tip.

Darren talking about his Canadian travel experience made me remember one of my own. Back in the 80s I used to work for a university science lab, and part of my job was to calibrate some equipment that detected and measured various kinds of radiation. I kept a small toolbox at hand for this, and it included several vials of radioactive materials of known strengths.

Besides not being amused at things in your trunk like Evil Server, Canadian border personnel also have a very poor sense of humor about radioactive materials in your trunk. And my (obviously now former) girlfriend didn't laugh at the part where she was photographed and fingerprinted along with me.

I was stoked to hear that you guys are planning a coding competition instead of (or in addition to) the trivia questions. I actually recommended that in another thread, although you taped the episode beforehand. Glad to see we're on the same page!
