The BlackBerry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood” is a no-holds-barred trip through the wacky world of toddlers and technology. Kathy takes the reader through a year-long blog account of life with her new BlackBerry and how, as a Mississauga, Ont.-based mother of four, her two worlds — technology and children — collide.
The relationship between a BlackBerry and its owner is not unlike that of a mother and her newborn baby, says Kathy in her book. Ever since her husband could not put down his own BlackBerry, Buckworth decided to see what all the fuss was about. So she bought a shiny black one -- to match her shoes -- and named it Seamus. "No one can truly explain what it's like to have a real, live baby in your house, and no one could really describe the transformative moment when I held that adorable little thing in my arms (okay, fingers) for the first time," Buckworth writes. Her book is about the joys and drawbacks of owning a smart-phone, mixed with musings about parenthood. Buckworth explains phantom vibrations (dubbed "BraxBerry Hicks"), which any true "BlackBerrian" recognizes as the moment when you've think you've received an email and then, if in front of people, you have to read a blank screen to save face.
