I took on a steel pole and lost

August is a difficult time to do a gadget show like GeekBrief.TV. Everyone goes on vacation and that means very little news and very little gadget releases. Today’s Brief is all about gadgets I’ve enjoyed this summer on my back patio, but we had to go to the hardware store so we could turn the patio into a set.

Lowe's Employees are PleasantWe’d gotten most of what we needed, and I stopped in the middle of the aisle to tweet that I was at the hardware store and commented on how nice Lowe’s employees were.

Then I started walking while looking at my phone making sure the tweet sent. As I was locking the phone to put it away…

BAM!!!!

I took on a Steel Pole and LostOnly….you know how in cartoons everything shakes? Well, it was exactly that way for me. As I crashed into the huge steel pole in the middle of the aisle, my whole head vibrated with pain.

I now have a very nice and beautiful bump to show for my zombie phone usage. Although this incident probably won’t stop me from doing it in the future, I will be more careful and at least look ahead of me more. Oh, and parents…feel free to use this post when trying to teach your kids that texting and walking don’t mix. ;)
