Some of you may recall about a week and a half ago I went out and got a Blackberry. Now, the boy has had a similar (though not as cool) device since two birthdays ago, and on more than one occasion I’ve threatened his well being if he didn’t put the thing down while driving.
“What’s so important that you risk our life??” I’d always ask-always singular because if you want to be a crack head driving and typing on itty bitty keys you go right ahead.
Except now I am just such a crack head.
Now in fairness, my commute in this morning included me sitting at a complete standstill for about 30 solid minutes. Given all that though, I still find myself pulling out the little gadget at every chance.
Some of it I’m sure has to do with boredom, some sheer curiosity. But seriously, this is ridiculous.
And so I’ve decided that in order to NOT be one of “those” NOVA people who think their life is much more important than they really are, I’m going to have to lock the thing down and put it in the backseat out of reach while driving.
It’s ridiculous, I know, but how stupid would I look if I got into a wreck and had to have a little itty bitty “B” surgicially removed from my forehead?

I’m about to get a smart phone so thanks for the warning. Maybe I’ll construct a special reverse Faraday cage so it won’t work in the car.
I am one of those people. I cant put my Cra.ckberry down!
And worst of all, the battery died on me this morning….that’s what I get for not charging it for the last 3 days!
I am totally that texting-while-driving-Smartphone-owning person. Granted, I am amazingly multi-talented and gifted…but one day I’m gonna die like that. Put it in the backseat. Once you get in the habit, it’s terribly, terribly hard to break!!! Drive safely *snicker*
