Today marks the start of a new Tech Loop staple - the Daily Distraction. We will post an item each day that we feel curves us off the beaten path during the day. While most of these will be tech related, the standard Tech Loop rules do not apply.

Now, for today's distraction: Lethal Cell Phone Exposure Signs

I live in a beautiful building in Roscoe Village that happens to have an awesome deck on the rooftop with an amazing view of the city. There is one caveat, however, and that is the deadly cell phone signals I am exposed to whilst enjoying the view and sunshine. So this begs the question: Is the great view and sunshine worth getting cancer over? I think not. Here is the ominous sign posted at the entry door to the deck:

It reads that "exposure limits may exceed the FCC general public exposure limit". And, judging by the looks of the water tower at the top of the building, the sign isn't lying. In fact, I think it might be too delicate a warning:

I really can't wait to go tanning outside next summer and get a
quadruple dose of radiation from the sun and the cell phone antennas!
