One More Skill

For those of you who don't know, I broke down and purchased a "Smart Phone" about a month ago to go on the trip to North Carolina.  My old phone (for the last 10 years!), which I dearly loved, which fit beautifully into my pocket, which was just a phone and uncomplicated, would no longer hold a charge.  I asked about a new battery and was told they were no longer carried in the store but that I could contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer's rep almost laughed at me and just said, "sorry".

Since I was going on a trip and might want access to email or Mapquest or Google and since I have a iMac at home, I purchased an iPhone. Seamless integration, Cloud and all that - what???

Anyway, this weekend Cindy and I went to the Ann Arbor Quilt Show. Here is the first picture taken with my iPhone (which has more megapixels than my Nikon camera). I wasn't sure how uploading would work. My faith was that I only had to connect the cord to my iMac and Apple would do all the rest. Yay! It worked! 

Next on the list is cropping and resizing...


The photo on the left behind the plastic sleeve is the original photo. The resulting quilt is on the right.


Rock climbing Cubby out on a perfect Sunday morning bike ride.  Love it!

I love my iPhone! Welcome to the Apple cult. :)

I have my iBooks in the cloud so that I can read them on my iPad or iPhone. It comes in really handy when you find yourself in a waiting room without a book.

I'm impressed! I know I need/should make the leap into the next techie arena --- have been avoiding it like the plague. I just dread trying to learn all the new "stuff", cause I know it will change in a flash.
