texting while driving

[threeplusfire]

I sort of thought this whole texting while driving thing was some kind of cracky urban legend, like razor blades in apples at Halloween. Until some pretty boy in a BMW station wagon almost plowed into me this afternoon getting on the highway. He was merrily texting away on his iPhone.

Texting.
While driving.
While merging onto the highway on the ramp.

Seriously. What the fuck? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Oh my gosh, what is the name of that app? I have been trying to use the Notes application for grocery lists and it just isn't working well.

It's called My Shopping Lists, by Sudheer Parwana. It's not the most popular one by far (when I found and d/l'd it from the app store on the phone, the phone claimed it had 0 reviews), but it did almost everything I wanted without stupid crap I didn't want. If you just search 'shopping list' on the store you'll get a good half-dozen choices to browse through and pick what you'd like best.

One of my favorite things about this one is the ease of adding new items to the database, and the ability to organize the aisles of each of your stores. I went through HEB once instead of back and forth at least two or three times, and the only thing I bought that wasn't on the list had a yellow coupon hanging off it. Even with a super-organized hand-written list, I've never gotten such good results.

Also, note to self, I need an iPhone icon.
