Normal: have access to a full keyboard and typing speed of 80 words per minute; thumbs responsible for space bar only
Blackberry: must type entire post with thumbs, requiring more brain power and agility than thumbs are comfortable with and thus reducing my wpm speed to 20
Normal: able to view internet in it's entirety - all links, photos, videos available in an "easy to read" format, making sense
Blackberry: links lost in cyberspace, photos upload in minutes rather than seconds (if at all) and all videos become the word "Flash" with techno babble typed after it
Normal: able to link to other bloggers and websites in an aesthetically pleasing way in my posts
Blackberry: must paste the entire link, if I can even figure out how to produce it on this ¤#*!, thus reducing my blogger savvy points to nil
Normal: can produce italics or even bold font to enhance my readers' understanding of my posts and easily distinguish between sarcasm and normal "speech"
Blackberry: browser is truncated and blogger functions with no buttons leaving me to *star* items of interest or CAPITALIZE ENTIRE PHRASES AS THOUGH I AM YELLING to make my point
Normal: can easily add photographs from the internet or my own collection to supplement the viewing experience of this blog
Blackberry: huh?
Normal: can type and edit numerous posts in one kid-free hour at night and set then up to post automatically throughout the week
Blackberry: must painstakingly type slowly and rack my brain to stay committed to each and every post for no less than 1/2 hour and still have no italics, bold face, links, or photos to show for it all the while listening to my kids try and tear each other apart (which is happening right now) causing me to truncate my post(s)

HA! And can I just say that I love that you used the word "truncate" rather than "end," "stop," or even "abbreviate"?!
Security word: randen. "I was late but tired...so I randen walked to school."
Oh, I canNOT resist.
Security word: ampupsyn. "I didn't have enough bulk for the confessional, so I had to AMPUPSYN to make it sound worthy of the priest's time."
SO sacreligious.
