Effective January 1, the state of Oregon banned talking on a cellphone while driving. This is a good idea.
So I bought one of these:
It chirrups at me. At first, this was kind of fun. It’s a perky little digital sound, reminding me of how technosavvy I want to believe I am.
But then I realized it was clearly trying to convey some information with different chirrups. Single, multiple, ascending, descending. This thing has a language all of its own. I felt like a pesky little bird had landed next to my ear after mistaking me for Dr. Doolittle.
So I read the manual. It all made sense, but there were also too many styles of chirrups to remember.
I remain basically clueless. And if I read the manual to sort out chirrups while I’m driving, it defeats the purpose of the cellphone ban.

This makes me miss you. It is weird but looking at a picture of your hands, makes me kind of sad a little bit, because I know them so well, and I just miss you.
I love you!
I’ve been wanting to try to use a BBerry for awhile now and could have the use of Jim’s old one. I’m so not technosavvy that I’m literally AFRAID of a BBerry.
Pretty lame, huh?
NT–For you, I will do hand portraits and email them to you. But I think I will only be able to take a picture of one hand at a time.
Seestah–I think there’s a 12-step program for that. Seriously, I LOVE my BBerry. I thought it would feel like too much technology, but it actually means that I’m at my computer less because I don’t worry that a client will email me and I won’t know about it. Go for it! Plus, then we could send pictures.
