FaceTime? Maybe if you put the phone down for a minute

I find the new iPhone ad sad and lonely. You want to take the phone out of the hands of the supposedly real people in the ad and tell them, "Live in the moment for a moment and maybe talk to the person who's next to you."

Or I could be less charitable. Like my thoughts about the people who run into you when they're striding down the street with their eyes glued to the screen of their phone. I always imagine a careening truck just around the corner.

Slugging it out

I wonder how bad Toronto traffic will have to get before slugging takes off here?
