FaceTime with Philippe in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

FaceTime from the middle of the Pacific. Arthur and Peter, my MotionX colleagues are in the office in Santa Cruz, California and get video-taped doing FaceTime between Pete’s iPhone 4 in Santa Cruz and my iPhone 4 in the middle of the Pacific Ocean one of the most isolated spots in the world. When it came up, it was like magic! To paraphrase Arthur Clarke, Great innovative technology and magic are literally indistinguishable. This is what the Camera-Phone was designed to do.

Crusty’s stitches: Crusty and I are both paramedic trained and stay current. Crusty insisted in stitching up his left index with his own right hand. After three days, the stitches are a bit loose, but it’s clean without an infection. So we’re just going to dress it up.
