Learning to be connected with an electronic leash

I was driving home today when my cell phone rang. It was in the middle of playing music through an iPod device that isn’t completely compatible with the iPhone. I tried to answer, but I’m not sure if the device disrupted the connection or the other person just hung up.
The important thing is that it scared me how much I was distracted during this event. I could tell I wasn’t concentrating very well on the road. It was a good lesson on driving and cell phone use. Don’t do it!
On the plus side it was very handy during grocery shopping today. I was trying to buy some bittersweet chocolate for a recipe, but I could only find dark chocolate. Is it the same? Then I got the bright idea to use the web browser to look up the information. This was after I used it to convert ounces into grams. I couldn’t find any explicit definition. So I phoned my mother and asked her.
It seems they are equivalent.
The checkout line was painfully slow. I waited over half an hour. To pass the time, I amused myself by browsing on the web. Couldn’t do that before.
I’m beginning to really like having an iPhone.
