Given how much you all know I enjoy both Sex and the City and watching old people discover technology and the new millennium... I thought you would appreciate this.
Funny thing about this video (which has horrible sound, btw) is that the whole thing is actually 4 years old (from the TV Land Awards, no less) and it just kind of went viral on Thursday and Friday. WHY? I think it's the impending movie release... timing is everything!

Walking and Texting Injuries
I recently bought two new pairs of boots. They are beyond hot, except they have these ridiculously slippery leather soles.
This morning, after donning the shoes and running to work (late and hungover) I started dashing off a text on iPhone and in all the excitement, I slipped right down the last three stairs in my building.
Since I like to blog based on experience, I decided to pull up another article I've had on the back burner.
It seems that one in ten British people were injured while texting and walking in 2007. The article got press in all kinds of places, including CNN/Time.
My friend the Odder Adder would probably get a kick out of the ridiculous ads that the UK Directory service 118118 used to protect negligent texters.
While I'm sure more than just 1 in 10 Americans have been injured by texting, I've been unable to find any conclusive data. But, dude, walking and texting is probably better than driving and texting. I don't get too political here, but this a pretty scary idea.

The Dangers of Putting Naughty Photos on Your Phone
My roommate and coworker facilitates many trainings for employees. Often, after the training, attendees come up to her to chat about things and show pictures of children, just because they think she's cool (which she is, btw).
So, one particular day, she was training a particularly attractive gentleman who wanted to show her a picture of his dog on his phone (this gentleman does not have an iPhone). Well, as usually happens, in passing the picture of his cute pup around, the backlit screen went dark.
So, when the phone ended up in my roommate's hands, she exclaimed, "Oh, the screen went dark!" at which point she just pressed a random button.
But she pressed the navigate button. That button that scrolls to the next photo. And it elicited an immediate reaction from this gentleman.
"NOOOOO..." he reached in seemingly slow motion to avoid the inevitable. Because, you see, my roommate had already seen this guy's penis. Yup, that picture you take of yourself to send to an illicit lover and vow to delete,but somehow forget to delete.
This, of course, has become the stuff of training legend at our workplace. I couldn't help but wonder how many other people have had their naughty photos accidentally exposed.
