Photo-A-Day #1311

Today we went to The Big Apple, no not New York. The Big Apple is a farm near us in Wrentham, MA. It is a working apple farm with apple cider, pies and fresh baked donuts. Allison and I decided that we needed to get some apples so that she could make applesuace, something that Eva loves. Also, Eva is a huge fan of fruit, she loves bananas (great), apples, peaches, pears and many others, I even picked her up a mango or two at the store today.

The trip is a quick one so we had time to sit on a bench and watch Eva attack and enjoy an apple. Allison made a tiny bite to get Eva started but once that was under way Eva had no problem powering through the rest, skin and all. While Eva ate I took photos of her, I think I should contact the apple growers coalition or something and see if they need a new posterkid.

Something really odd is going on when I try and write a blog post on The BenSpark. The Custom Field section is in a constant look for blog author. This only started happening after I imported 1797 posts from my wordpress.com blog to The BenSpark. Those posts came from my Blogger blog originally and I wonder if something got switched on and made this perpetual loop.

Either way I cannot write a post on The Benspark first. I have to write it somewhere like here on Utterli and then post to my blog then I can edit the post. It is so strange. IT works fine for my Photo-A-Day posts because I write an Utterli post first anyway but I usually write something completely different for The BenSpark. Of course I just realized that I could have written the top part on Utterli and the rest in WordPress. Oh well, live and learn.

Apple iPhone

This is coming out for Cingular around June. Announced today is Apple’s new iPhone and I am truly impressed. This thing is fantastic. Yes, I have been a staunch PC person for years and have balked at many things Apple (even though our first computer for the family was an Apple IIC and I loved it.) The announcement today of the iPhone is just an awesome revolutionary bit of technology.

Here are the features.

Phone – Easy Merging of calls.

Voicemail – Visual Voicemail, choose which voicemail to listen to first, just like e-mail.

SMS – Predictive soft keyboard that helps prevent mistakes.

Photos – 2 megapixel camera with a 3.5″ screen, sweet. Can also sync with photos on your MAC or PC

Internet – Web browsing with safari.

E-mail – Rich e-mail client that can display text and graphics.

Google Maps – Built right in.

Widgets – stock reports and weather among other things.

Multi-touch – a high functioning touch screen interface.

Intelligent keyboard – QUERTY keyboard, more efficient that plastic keyboards on other smart phones.

OS X – Yes, it runs OS X.

Wi-Fi – uses Wi-Fi and Cingular’s edge network for internet access.

Sensors – Sensors switch display from portrait to landscape depending upon how the device is positioned.

Music – Scroll through album covers.

Video – View video from iTunes (There is one of the funniest clips from The Office on the website.) 3.5″ screen.

Storage – 4GB or 8GB like an iPod Nano.

Even the Webcomics have gotten into the iPhone thing. I knew Scott Kurtz would jump on this. Great Ferris Bueller hoamge too.
