Steve Smith on ICE:
Earlier today, Steve Smith emailed me about a blog entry he posted about ICE a few weeks ago.
Like Steve, my initial reaction to "ICE" was that it was yet another Internet hoax, but I also thought the concept worked...and in fact, whether it is an entry on my mobile phone or my buddy list, designating an "In Case of Emergency" -- ICE contact made sense to me.
Special thanks to Steve for digging up the origin of ICE.

I.C.E. is a great idea but it is not enough…
- What if your cell phone is lost or damaged in an accident?
- What if you do not have a cell phone or have it with you at the time I.C.E. is needed?
- What if your emergency contacts are not available when the First Responders try to call?
- What if the buttons are locked?
First Responders need more than just I.C.E.
The Med Alert Card is more reliable than I.C.E. and provides more vital information.
