Alright, people. Those ties can finally be untied, pens can be capped, and monitors can be turned off – the holidays are here, the holidays are now. With such an epic introduction, I really hope I haven’t built you up too much. HOWEVER, the holidays mean time away from work, more time for family/friends/substances. I still know that I’ll be clicking through my device from time to time, and you’ll be doing the same.
This week we’re taking a page out of Gizmodo’s book, and asking you to write your best haiku poem that relates to your BlackBerry addiction and the holidays. That’s it. Do your best, and you could be walking away with three games from Magmic.
Last week, we asked you folks to give your opinions on the iPhone vs. the BlackBerry. One opinion that stuck out was that of L.M. Lloyd, one of our more active commenters, who goes off on the two batteries that will be present in the iPhone.
“Well, the two batteries has to be one of the dumbest gimmicks I have ever heard. With mobile phones, the main thing limiting battery life is physical size.”
Congrats, Mr. Lloyd. Drop us a note to let us know which tones you’re looking for, and we’ll spread that yuletide cheer your way.
Tap, tap, tap, I type
The family stares daggers
Christmas, I don’t care.
(Wife talking to me at Christmas dinner or really anytime, anywhere… hehe)
are you listening
must be really important
Blackberry sucks ass
Glimmering Pearl,
Early present to myself.
Precious ball and chain.
This isn’t a contest entry, but look at what’s on the mantle next to the picture. I’m from Florida, and he’s the Governor, Jeb Bush.
Thumb finally rests
No more emails from the boss
Blackberry, farewell
clicking near the tree
toddler wants my blackberry
is my wife speaking
Snow falls silently
in the early solstice dark,
the screens dim themselves
scroll, click, escape
the rush through my veins
just one more email my love
Up, down, left and right
my trackball will get a break,
And I will sleep at night
in New Hampshire
bob lives for release of 4.2
too bad it’s not now
hands on silicon skin,
users read on tiny screens,
await haiku judgment…
