pls lol

Recently, Dave and I went like 2 years without cells phones. Como es posible? Well, I can't really remember, especially since he and I are now completely addicted to texting (eachother, mostly. Even if and especially when we're in the same room).

I've been meaning to post about this since I heard it on NPR (this is why I love NPR. It's the news of the people, people!). The National Texting Championship. Watch the video at the bottom. This is why I love America. Because teens have the freedom to get freakishly good at irrelevant pursuits like mastering the QUERTY keyboard.

watching that video made me feel old since i had no idea what QUERTY was, i mean i know what it is, i just didn't know that is what it was called...T9 predictive text for life!

I believe it's QWERTY (if you look at the keyboard), and I agree with Dev on the T9, although I once sent my brother a ridiculously offensive text because it predicted something slightly different than I was intending.
