Postcard of the Day





It's my usual practice not to say anything about PsotD, but

(a) isn't it funny, from where we are now, to see that they once thought they had to sell texting as secondary to calling? and
(b) who puts that much peanut butter on a peanut butter sandwich?

Ever since I got my first mobile phone, somewhere around 2000, I've preferred texting over calling.

I do remember thinking, shortly after I'd learned the predictive text part, how perfect it was for telling my friend, late in joining me at the poetry reading, that I was in the 3rd row on the left side, since I could do it silently. But now it's clear most people prefer it over calling, and it can be considered rude to leave voicemail. :) So yeah, so funny they had to sell us on it!
