Today my new MacBook Air arrived two days earlier than they told me it would. Of course I was excited! It was also the last day of school so I had time to play with it and begin to set it up. I plan to podcast about it in the near future but just let me say this thing is fast. I’m posting from it right now. It’s going to take me awhile to get everything set up the way I like it and software installed but that’s what I like to do.

Evening Sky
We had some pretty strong storms move through the area today…one this morning and a stronger one this afternoon. There were tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, flash flood warnings….and this is how the day ended. A gorgeous evening sky. I absolutely LOVE the colors! This was taken at 8:37 PM this evening.

New Apple Products
New MacBook Air
Today Apple began their World Wide Developers Conference. They introduced OS 10.9, iOS 7, a sneak peak at the new Mac Pro, iTunes Radio, and they updated the MacBook Air. I’ve been waiting for this update for a long time. I haven’t bought a new laptop for five years. It was time to get a new laptop. I’ve been saving up Apple Gift Cards for a long time. I didn’t have enough to completely pay for the new MacBook Air but I cut the price down by a big chunk. So today I ordered my new MacBook Air. I got the faster processor, 8 gigs of ram, and the 512 SSD. It should arrive around June 20th. I can’t wait! I haven’t had a new Apple computer for a very long time. I’m going to have fun playing with it and setting it up the way I want. Yay for me!

Lunch for Robins
Today we went on a walk in the Olmsted Woods at the National Cathedral. It was sticky humid but we were there to see birds. We didn’t see any new birds but we did see these Robins enjoying a lunch of flying termites. I thought it made a pretty cool picture. We watched them for a few minutes and they munched on lots of those termites.
