frosty
nothing like several days of moisture trapped in your car to create frost on the inside of the windshield during a cold snap.
a thought i had while scraping That Maddeningly Thin But Still Opaque Layer Of Frost off all of my car's windows, except the rear windshield: we should really have front windshield defrosters. not the fan kind, the heating element kind. surely we can find a way to make those transparent, no?

Man, couldn't agree more!! As I was running late for work I thought 'this little bit of frost won't take long to scrape off'...well, needless to say, minutes later and only one area on the windshield clear I realized I was not reckoning with the usual frost!:)
i just took my wife's car... it was in the garage.
But yea... it seems to me that someone could invent such a device!
I'll get someone at MIT on that right away.

i knew i could count on you.
I have a friend who had a Land Rover and it actually did have a front windshield defroster. The defroster was made of these teeny-tiny thin lines in a grid (like graph paper), so you could see it, but only if you were focusing your gaze on the windshield itself.
And the friend? Well, he got rid of that piece of crap and got some kind of BMW Z-something-or-other. I do believe his car is worth more than my house. *sigh*
oy. i mean is that really necessary? awesome on the grid defroster though. i am behind on the technology, it seems.
welcome, btw. i will assume you are erin of the cincinnati crew...
