Or fool yourself into thinking it'll go to tea.Woman Uses iPhone App to Get Pregnant
Is it that tracking one’s cycles is that hard (or inconvenient), or
that iPhones (and other app-ready phones) make it that easy though
ubiquity and programmability?
This sort of ties in with an app idea I’ve just had: Something to read
the somewhat complex Excel file where I’ve outlined my day in
excruciating (for me) detail, including everyday schedules and special
ones for days with meetings, appointments, trips and such, and display
a nice, big bit of text telling me what I should be doing (with
color-coded background), how long I’ve got left to do it, and what’s
next. Maybe my next 24 hours in a sidebar. This should be doable, and
I’m sure if I had an iPhone and a captive hacker it could be done.
Heck, I’m thinking of using it as a way for me to learn Flash doing
something useful. But is the utility in it doing something hard, or in
being available almost all the time?
Sent to you by Pierce via Google Reader: Woman Uses iPhone App to Get
Pregnant via Mashable! by Brenna Ehrlich on 1/25/10
After four years of infertility, all it took was a simple download for
30-year-old Lena Bryce to get pregnant, making her the proud mother of
Britain’s very first “iPhone baby.”
Last week we learned that your iPhone can save your life, this week, it
turns out that it can create life as well. Bryce, who desperately
wanted a child, told The Sun: “It began to weigh heavily on us. We were
considering IVF and adoption when [my husband] Dudley gave me the
iPhone for my 30th. I typed in ‘get pregnant’ and downloaded five apps.”
The young wife chose The Free Menstrual Calendar [iTunes Link], which
highlighted in bright pink her most fertile day. She got pregnant two
months after downloading the app, and gave birth on the exact day that
it predicted.
While congrats are in order for the Bryce family, the whole deal is
kind of a head-scratcher. Was it really necessary to download an app in
order to conceive? One would think that a trip to the doctor would
yield the same results. Regardless, the free app was certainly cheaper
than a consult with a fertility doctor, and most likely cut down on
time spent in the waiting room, reading outdated copies of Highlights.
So I guess there’s that.

So, yeah, just going through the church e-mail, and found this:

Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 05:17:23 +0000
Subject: SGT DAVE GODWIN (MESSAGE FROM IRAQ)
From Sgt.Dave Godwin.
Good Day,
I found your contact particulars in an E-mail address guide that
> was provided to us here, as I desperately needed an urgent help to do
> this deal. I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of
> $15m {Fifteen Million U.S Dollars only} to you; as far as I can be

> And so on, how the money was found in a barrel in Tikrit, how he’s been
shot twice, lots of god talk, the usual BS if you’ve been paying any
attention to the Nigerian 419 scam genre.
But spamming a church in the name of a soldier? That’s just low.
