Ode to an iPhone

Oh, iPhone, we thank you,
For all that you do.
To blog our New York trip,
And track expenses, too.

Like a trusted friend,
I must confess,
Guiding us safely,
By GPS.

You are phone and phonebook,
Orderly and pristine.
Camera and album,
And white noise machine.

With you at our side,
I know we’ll pull through.
We conquered New York.
Now, what else shall we do?!

Getting Started: iPhone Experiment No. 3

And now, my final public test of our new family blog.

The image below has a little story behind it: Local waste disposal regulations are becoming more stringent – We have to separate our waste into various categories, we risk skipped collections if we get the wrong type of waste in any of the assigned repositories, we’re fined for even the smallest overages, etc).

On a [not so] recent Sunday Chore day, one of the kids mistakenly tossed a single small piece of garbage into the recycling can. Mihal ordered the miscreant in question to retrieve the errant wastoid and redeposit it correctly.

After a brief struggle with unreachable trash, a can that was too tall to dip into, and various failed pick sticks and other tools, this was the solution!

Can you tell who this is?

Here’s another public experiment with our new blog. This time, a grabbag of kinder photos.

Getting Started: iPhone Experiment No. 1

As I prepare this blog to receive posts from our iPhones, I have some tests and experiments to conduct (verify functionality of each author’s account, streamline formatting of posted images, establish ideal paragraph lengths and other editorial standards, etc).

So, in keeping with the principle that the best test is a real or live exercise of whatever it is we need to test – Here are a couple of images from a [not so] recent weekend away.

Our kids, along with friends, are playing with some jelleyfish guts that washed on shore. But where’s the fun in describing these slimy endtrails as simply jellyfish?

We named one of the finds “monster guts” and the other “monster snot”. Can you tell which is which?
