Jogger gets killed by an airplane.

Ha. Funnily enough, aside from my phone I have almost no gadgets.

As cell phone functionality increases, I'm more likely to start carrying one, but just for that extra functionality. My wife and daughter have all the cool toys and due to my attitude I get the hand me downs.

MH - You would have loved the 70's. "Space age" this and that. You could have a whole apartment full of plastic Ronco products by now.

I forgot! Camera! Always having a reasonable camera on my person has allowed the capture of some great images...

I have no use for stuff that isn't practically useful.

My phone is the only portable gadget I've got. I'm a very un-gadgety. But as a phone does it all, who needs more really?

I was worried it was too soon to make jokes, but you guys were laughing right away so...


Setting: Tranquil beach, light breeze and a soft surf. Cool morning sand, waves lapping at the shore like the deep breath of a sleeping lover...

Enter stage left: Jogger running on the beach. Not desperately like a man who needs to lose a pound for self-worth, but easily as someone merely finding their tone in a picturesque landscape. He/she thinks to themself... "this is wonderful... the meeting of land and ocean, all which that ecotone implies... and myself gliding along in wide open space..."

It's unlikely the jogger would have heard the plane even without his iPod. Planes don't have horns and they don't make much noise with the engine off.
