For those of you who stopped in over this weekend, you were redirected to blog.b3nbrooks.com and saw the blog running on Movable Type instead of Wordpress, this experiment is now over and we will be sticking here.

Thanks

Don’t Talk Loud on the Phone in Public

Steve Johnson for The Mercury News

But those surveyed did not admit to the same level of offenses. Just 38 percent admitted sometimes typing on their devices while in the company of others. And while 55 percent said they were bothered by others discussing private matters in public on their devices, only 28 percent said they had engaged in the same behavior.

I think our generation really needs to pay attention to our gadget use. But so do the baby boomers. LINK
