The AT&T plan to purchase T-Mobile for a cool $39 billion has been hot news the past week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I am hoping this means I will no longer need to stand in the street and wait for a cement truck to nearly run me over before I finally get those funny little connection bars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Personally, I think an argument can be made that a couple of Dixie cups and a string works about as well as my cell phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I spend a lot of time getting annoyed with all the stuff my cell phone is supposed to do and never does.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Everyone I know has these hot new phones and apps. Apps \u2013 I love that usage. What it means is a fun thing on your phone that works on the third full moon after the druid solstice… maybe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I did an article a couple of months ago about ghosts in the Black Diamond cemetery and for the first time I heard about a great new app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This company is supposed to come out with an app for cell phones to find ghosts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now that is a useful app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t care about a phone app telling me where I am or where I am going or not going. I already know that and I would rather not be reminded.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But, a ghost finder, that makes it all worth while.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The ghost finder idea made a dim light go off for another great app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This app is for fathers only. I call it the boy-o-meter. I am certain this is a million dollar idea.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Test your daughter\u2019s potential little evil doers with the boy-o-meter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suggested my grand scheme to my daughter. I think she said I was crazy, but, I wasn\u2019t listening too closely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I am convinced every father I know would love this app. A boy comes over, you take the phone out and wave it around and a bunch of red lights flash.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right kid, red lights, you\u2019re out of here… and by the way there is a ghost standing behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Imagine, cell phones that really work with useful apps. This world of cell phones and apps should get more and more interesting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I can hardly wait for this AT&T deal to go through.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only another year of standing on the street dodging cement trucks and staring at the connection bars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Plenty of time to develop that boy-o-meter app.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
