All Apple All Day

After a week of searching, I finally found an Apple TV 4k on Friday. ( Which is good, because I put our 64 GB Apple TV 4 on eBay on Tuesday .) We've had the ATV4K up and running for 2 days now - is it worth the $179 upgrade? Or should you look elsewhere?

This summer, Apple discontinued the iPod Nano.  After 16 years, the iPod Era was over.  I've held out hope that the iPod would be re-booted as a cellular device - focused less on local storage, and more on streaming Apple Music.  After Tuesday's Keynote, an iPod resurrection seems unlikely.  Because the Apple Watch Series 3 IS the iPod we've been hoping for. 

And this one will be big. It's the first keynote in the new Steve Jobs Theater. It's will also introduce Apple hardware we've been waiting YEARS for.

Our 11-year-old shares our interest in technology. If anything, he's more enthusiastic. We'd probably prefer to channel that interest into school work... but it's summer. He's got a reading list for school... but he's making good progress there. Our boy's summer was primarily filled up with baseball games & video games. With one week at Scout camp... and a week at Apple Camp.

Sunday was my wife's birthday, so we loaded up the kids and biked from Glen Ellyn to Wheaton, a nearby suburb, for lunch. (Atomic Turkey sandwiches at Shane's Deli, of course.) And on the way home, my wife found an iPad. An iPad 2. With no case, but with no screen cracks... literally in the middle of a busy street. We took it home, charged it for a few hours, and it works. We don't have the unlock code, so this is as  far as we've gotten. And that is where YOU come in, internet - let's find the owner.

Well, THAT long road is finally over. Our condo is on the market! And now we play the waiting game. (Or Hungry Hungry Hippos.)
