In fact, I’ve publicly declared the iPhone as my weapon of choice. However, my experience with Apple’s newest phone has been less than ideal. Don’t get me wrong. I love the feature set (especially the HD video). Its just that I have this odd expectation of actually making phone calls.

I’m left feeling a lot like Darth Vader in this call to tech support.

PS. My bumper case finally arrived after 3 weeks. Yep, still dropping calls.

So, how’s your experience with the iPhone 4?

Yes, technologies such as cell phones, gaming devices, and laptops have a way of isolating family members.

Yes, the ability to always be connected to the world outside the home through texting, Facebook, and Twitter can disconnect us from those closest to us.

Yes, dinner table conversations now have an ever increasing amount of competition.

However, it is this same technology that brings my family together. See video.

Using iChat, (almost) 2 year old is able to connect with her grandparents who live hours away. We are able to share songs, digital hugs, and screen-to-screen kisses.

… Here’s to using technology to bring us all together and a little more connected.

Discussion: How has technology impacted your family? What are some pros and cons of the modern means of communication?

I experienced my first imaginary tea party this morning. Sydney insisted that I have quite a few cups of her delicious brew.

We also enjoyed the company of some close friends, Boots & Swiper. Dora must of had a prior engagement.

… can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday.

She tosses and turns all night long in an attempt to find a comfortable sleeping position. Then there’s her need to use the restroom every 2 hours. All of this restlessness keeps both of us awake much of the night.

iPhone Screenshot of Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock

In an effort to find out just how much sleep I’ve been losing, I’ve began using an iPhone app to track my sleep patterns. The app, Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock,  uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to monitor the amount of movement while you’re in bed. Throughout the night, you move more or less depending on which phase of the sleep cycle you are in. Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock measures the phases that range from deep sleep to light sleep.

As you can see in the graph to the left, I woke up a lot during the night and spent little time dreaming or in deep sleep.

The app is pretty cool. However, missing out sleep is certainly NOT.

I’ve baptized numerous people, but never any in a swimming pool. Very cool!

PS. Good luck in the Navy, Katie. We’ll see you in 13 weeks.

What should the slogan be for this “Holy Spirit Thirft Shop”? I keep passing it in Gulf Shores, AL an it makes me smile each time.

The commenter who comes up with the best tag line wins a giant hug from me, which for most, is the equivalent of winning a brand new iPad.

Yes, we knew the area is being impacted by the BP oil spill. However, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect.

As you can see in the videos & pictures in this post, the surf line is littered with gobs of oil and tar that range in size anywhere from that of a dime to a large pancake. Some of the tar balls are baseball sized. The substance is extremely gooey and sticks to anything it touches. It does appear that crews are attempting to clean up the beaches each evening. However, the oil just continues to wash on shore.

There are areas of the beach where the white sand is stained brown and you can feel the oil beneath your feet with every step. The water is discolored and is obviously heavily polluted. The smell of oil fills the air.

My wife’s family has vacationed in Gulf Shores for over 20 years. They own a condo here and visit at least once or twice a summer. Jaclyn and I have come a few times by ourselves. We hate seeing the effects of this spill, not just on the beaches, but also on the local economy. The beach area is deserted. Businesses that are normally packed with vacationers are empty and might as well be closed.

We’re praying for an effective stop and cleanup of this horrible disaster. We’re also praying for the quick recovery of the Gulf Coast communities.
