HP recently released two apps that let you run an 12C Financial Calculator or 15C Scientific Calculator on your iPhone. The apps cost $15 and $30 respectively. Initial reactions around the internet so far seem to show outrage over the price, but considering the fact that you can’t find a 15C on eBay for less than $100 I’d say the price point isn’t too bad. With a phone, GPS, music player, PDA, gaming system, and more all in one device already, it’ll be interesting to see how quickly more tools & gadgets that we interact with on a daily basis will be virtualized, and available in one (hopefully easy to use) package. Who’s gonna give me my TV remote control & garage-door opener apps?

It’s official, the 08-09 Philippi Service Adventure crew is now safely at their respective homes. Ok, technically Eva is jet-setting around the country for a few more weeks, but she’s pretty at home on the road, right?  I won’t spend too much time gushing about our unit because they know how much we’ll miss them. But for those of you who weren’t here to enjoy the past weeks in Philippi, I decided now is the perfect time to link to a few more photos.

Now it’s time for me to get lots of work done in preparation for the upcoming school year (and a few weeks off in South America!), for Beth to get in some summer travel to hang out with friends, and for both of us to just spend some time together and with family. Please remember the girls in your prayers as they adjust to life after SA and us as we prepare for the next unit.
