    Good thing she didn't start Twittering until the robbery was over. I immediately though of that Tobias Wolff story, "Bullet in the Brain". (It's on the New Yorker archive if you've got a subscription:

    Wait- how is she able to navigate, update via the mobile web app and unabashedly umlaut without a trackball yet she's unable to press the green phone button or key in the phone number? Is this some sort of paper weight with twitter access?

    @Aaron Altman: As a former pearl owner, I'm guessing the entire trackball assembly fell out, because the ring came loose. After about a year I had to take the trackball out for a regular cleaning. Each time I did the ring that holds it became further compromised.



    Thankfully the new 8900 is a champ trackballwise (so far).

    "Twittering", according to that funny cartoon thing on Current:


    Randomly bragging about your inconsequential life
