Today's CA Moment

I honestly haven't done anything today other than nap, read in the sun and eat oranges from my trees.

Today's California Moment

I, on a bike, just passed an equestrian and was then subsequently passed by a hybrid SUV

Today's California Moment

Two roller bladers just passed each other, gave each other the peace sign, and it was totally normal

Today's California Moment

Today's CA moment: Two girls driving by in a convertible VW bug laughing gleefully, hair flying in the wind

California

I've just flown into California from Chicago (note the change in the map). This morning when I left Chicago the thermometer read 5F, when I landed it read 68F. I had my phone's temperature reading in Celcius. The sign flipped from -12 to 12 when I landed in Sacramento (a bit colder there).

California seems more and more beautiful the longer I live away from it. I'll try to do a series of Today's California Moment posts while I'm here.

Where Am I addendum

Oh, and I've also enabled private location tracking. Apparently my system pings out my location every ten minutes or so and will continue to do so for all time, allowing me to see where I went. Again, scary and bigbrotherish but also pretty cool. It would be pretty easy for me to track how often I went to the store last month for example.

Where Am I Widget

I've added the widget to the right which shows my location. I've restricted it to only let the public know where I am on a city-level but presumably I could let everyone track my movements based on where I log into a computer and where my cell phone is (by gps tracking). It's neat though a bit big-brotherish. Hopefully google doesn't go evil. I'm pretty screwed if they do.

This is a post sent out from my new smartphone. Another new experiment. Typing is an adventure but it should be easy to share images and video.
