We’ve spent the last week near the Pacific Coast, visiting redwood forests, exploring tide pools and taking a daytrip to San Francisco. I am amazed at the 40 degree mid day temperature difference between the coast and inland.

I took the picture above on our way back from the coast. It was an amazing sunset.

After three years of blogging, there is finally a way to blog mobilely. Wordpress issued an app for the iPhone today.

So I’m sitting at Bret’s soccer game while I blog. Perhaps my posts will now be less sporadic, although I can’t promise they will be any more insightful.

The new iPhone is as good as the hype. Using google maps with the gps was much more productive then without on my trip to Washington state last week.

My favorite apps so far are Bloomberg, Mobile News and Evernote. I’m not much of a gamer so while I’ve downloaded a few games, I haven’t spent much time with them.

My old iPhone sells Saturday on Ebay. Interestingly, used first generation iPhones are selling for $300 to $400 because there is such high demand from countries where they are not readily available, such as China and Russia.
