I'm a little bit weary of any product that says it can waterproof my device - but this does look somewhat promising. Liquipel coats the inside and outside of your phone with a waterproof layer that is thinner than a human hair. For around $70 you send in your phone, they work their magic, and send it back to you.

BringATrailer.com [link] had something that caught my eye this week. They found a 1959 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ25 - the grandfather model of Land Cruisers in the United States.
