We Are Living In The Future

Permit me one iPhone rave. Putting my shoes on to take Lisa to school the other day, I notice her singing a little song that I've never heard before. Something she learned at daycare, no doubt. I grab my phone, type a fragment of the lyrics into Google, find the full lyrics and song title, search on the iTunes store and listen to clips from a couple of different versions of the song. All from a stool as I'm putting on my shoes. Today, as we were walking home from daycare, Lisa noticed someone wearing a hockey jersey and asked if there was a hockey game on tonight (pretty clever, that three year old of mine...). I pull out my phone, find an open wireless network and look at the hockey schedule. Yep, Canucks at home vs. Wild. Game starts in forty minutes. How cool is that?

I'm in agreement with just about everyone on this one. Necessary upgrade to Leopard's dock.
