    Well, that about wraps up my reflections for the moment. Anyone else want to share? What’s the climate of your relationship with your smartphone? And do you ever get the eerie feeling that it’s working against you?

I recently made a deal with my wife that I would stop checking my e-mail so often during the day. I was literally checking my email once every 10-20 minutes. Why? When you're around someone else and doing this, you are essentially telling them that your email is more important to you than they are and well.... that's just not cool.

So far, so good.

I will say that I read your piece from my phone.

I like the photo you use for the piece, did you put that together?
