Had the greatest of laughs just now. Cheley is going to be late for an appointment, she had to send a text to that effect to my land line. To hear a computer say “Looks like it’s gonna be 12:30″ is priceless. Made my day! Oh yeah, I’m hard to please.

Wow, this could actually be something bigger–a recording of priceless utterances from autoreaders…. anyone know who’s done it before?  Examples?

The video was done with local actors by the Gwent police department, to be shown in area schools as part of a 30-minute deterrent movie about “texting while driving.” It’s effective, violent and bloody. That’s probably the point.

Texting While Driving PSA Delivers Bloody, Bone-Crunching Message – Texting – Gizmodo.

WARNING.  Not for the squeamish. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure there are many out there who are very lucky that this has not happened to them. More ADD activities for us, we are concentrating on so many different things simultaneously. Will we have a chance to slow down? Perhaps only when the grid is disrupted. Then we’ll all get back to agriculture, hard copy, and actually communicating.

I think we do need more of this type of PSA in the states.  But who knows, maybe something like this would backfire, the stubborn in us thinking we’d be immune.  Shock and awe in all of its magnificence.  Woah.
