First off, we finally have pictures from 2008.  The Ahlquist Wedding (Kari Blair for most readers), and us doing some yard work around the house (it also includes some pool pictures, pre-fixing).

Secondly, WWDC was today.  For those non-techy savy, it’s where Apple announces all things new and good.  Topping the list is the iPhone 3G. It has great new features that I’m excited about.  The fact that it’s 3G which means faster.  GPS which would be useful.  AppStore sounds pretty sweet as well.  They discussed a number of good applications for it today.  I’ve been following the rumors around the new iPhone for a while.  The one rumor that didn’t come true like I had hoped it would was that you could video chat with other iPhone users via the phone.  That would have been pretty sweet.

Also at WWDC today they announced Mobile Me.  I’m not a huge fan.  First, that name sounds more like Windows than Apple.  Second, what’s the point?  You get some storage space in the clouds, but everything else you can use Google for free, instead of paying $20.  Back to my mac might be nice to have, but I don’t know how often I would actually use that. Needless to say, I won’t be purchasing.  But if anyone likes it (or has used it) sound off and let me know your thoughts.

Third topic of the day, gas prices!  Seriously they are high.  I wonder if it’s worth it to drill for oil in my back yard.  Probably not.  I’m guessing most people know about the site, but it’s worth mention again.  Twin Cities Gas Prices is a site that I’ve been using more often.  I’d encourage others to use it and participate by posting gas prices.  I’m not a fan when I see a price and get to the station and realize it’s much higher.  But I was able to buy gas for $3.98 when most other places were $4.09.  Ouch.  I didn’t pay over $3/gallon for gas until May of 2007, and almost one year later gas prices are hovering at $4.

Those are the topics on my mind today.  In other news the pool fixing was delayed again.  I’m hopeful that within a week and a half we’ll be swimming.  Cross your fingers.
