Jim got an upgrade

Jim has had the same cell phone from about a million years.  Ok maybe five years but in cell phone technology years it's closer to a million.  It was from back in the error before smartphone.  Back when a small little flip phone was the style.  If you text him a picture you can barely make out the faces.  I'm seriously surprised it still made calls.   In the old phone's defense, he never had issues with dropping calls or losing reception.  Recently he decided it was time for an upgrade.   He was really hesitant to spend a lot of money on an iPhone but after some consideration he decided it was a good investment.  I was all for it.  I think Jim is the exact person a smartphone is made for:
  • He commutes via train than subway about 1 hour each way 5 days a week. 
  • He is TERRIBLE with remembering appointments, events, and general "To Do" type stuff and has never been able to manage to keep a paper planner up to date.
  • He listens to a lot of music.
  • He doesn't really like to talk on the phone but he is really slow at texting the old school way therefore he rarely communicates with anyone.
It's been a few weeks now and he is loving it.  I'm also loving it because I no longer have to "nag" him about stuff that he can't remember and thanks to Siri he can send me a quick text mid day just to say hello.  Plus we have been capturing some really great simple family moments  having decent camera and video capability in his pocket at all times.

 The Garden...



I think the quality is pretty good for a phone.  Of course my Cannon is better but it's not always convenient to drag it around or sometimes you just forget it at home.  Plus I don't really plan on framing garden harvest pictures but they are nice to have.  We've also taken dozens of little videos of Riesling, including her first food experience last night!  It's 5 minutes of pure excitement.  But you'll have to live in suspense until tomorrow.
