On Friday night, I was introduced to a brilliant application for the iPhone suitably titled
Last Call. This app allows you to enter in your body weight and the type of drink you've just consumed and then it displays your current Blood Alcohol Content along with your forecasted BAC for the coming hours. You repeat this process as many times as you see fit. It's also got a listing of local taxi cab companies and DUI lawyers. And when you wake up in the morning, you know you're almost sober enough to drive to breakfast. It's really a remarkable use of technology.
Then your roommate drops your iPhone into a cup of water and your apps cease to function, thereby depriving you of this valuable intrinsic knowledge.
Alfred Tennyson said, "'Tis' better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Well I call bullsh*t. I prefer the sentiment of loss, flawlessly expressed by Barney Gumble, "Don't cry for me, I'm already dead."
