Newport Rhode Island had a Fort Adams, which looked like it would have been cool to walk around inside, but instead, we walked around the outside of the fort, and it was still a pretty cool experience. I guess there is a housing development just on the other side of the fort. We walked around the fort, and kind of into the housing development before we could get back to our car in the parking lot.

Newport RI

Part of our trip. These photos were mostly of Newport Rhode Island.
I like the sailboats. I like the process of sailing. The knowledge. I am impressed by the sound and fury of mother nature.

Walmart to focus on connected devices � MartySalo's Blog

Walmart to focus on connected devices � MartySalo's Blog Hmm, I'm not all that sure how the supposed efforts of Walmart to enhance their share of the consumer electronics market will be. But more power to them. We can use all of the competition in the marketplace that we can get. I did recently buy another ipad accessory. Actually, I got two accessories, a Car Charger, for those road trips, and a longer base charger power cord. The three foot charging cord did not work ideally.

It is a good morning.

It is a good morning, people. The sun is shining, and we should be going to spend some time at EPCOT today. I just took a look at my blogger account, and it looks like this could be a new way of doing content.
Yesterday, we saw that one of the eagles had passed away at the Boyd Hill Nature Park. That was sad, but I suppose that death is part of the cycle.
The fact that the birds who were held at the nature park were injured, and would have died otherwise if left to their own is kind of nice I suppose. Perhaps I should be more conservative with my digital camera. I want to take small pictures for including them with blog posts, but my mom wants me to use the biggest resolution, which then takes up a lot of space.
I guess I should just put my foot down and deal with the fallout from my mom and my wife at a later date. My wife will also be disappointed that we don't have the high resolution pictures for making good prints from.

Awesome, but not quite yet there.

There appears to be some issue with blogger or iPad letting me add content in the standard box, but perhaps I will be able to post this in the HTML editing mode.
Hey, that is pretty cool. Perhaps this might work with a different site that I do some publishing of content to.
Well, it is a little bit backward, but as long as I can get the information out there, that is what should be of most immediate concern.
I guess I am happy.
So, I guess I do like the smaller footprint that the iPad takes up, compared to the laptop, and I like the relatively instant on state of the iPad with the easy access to the web. While I wasn't able to get access to the rich text editors, that is okay, I guess.

Giant box close to being over oil-spewing well - Yahoo! News

An interesting read about the oil well trouble caused by the transocean drilling rig exploding and sinking.

BBC NEWS | Election 2010 | Results | United Kingdom - National Results

Hmm, my wife said that Brown won the election. If no body will cooperate with the conservatives, then yes, perhaps it could be that way. I am not sure though. The BBC seems to have it as Cameron to try forming government.

Who knows how it's really working over on that side of the pond anyway?

David Griffin on how photography connects us | Video on TED.com

National Geographic's take on photography, and photojournalism. I don't actively think of myself as a photojournalist, but at the same time, perhaps that is part of what this weblog is.

Jonathan Klein: Photos that changed the world | Video on TED.com

An interesting take on some of the points in history captured through photography.

A train on the other side of the river

While we were at the park, a train passed by on the other side of the river. It was pretty neat. I've seen the commercials how the cost of transporting something by train is much less expensive than moving goods by most other means available. But there needs to be the tracks laid in order to make use of the trains to transport the goods to other places.

train tracks

Hudson Highlands State Park

The park was a nice place to get out and stretch our legs for a little while. I liked the train tracks, and the trains. I guess New York City has alot more active train lines than most other cities. I'm pretty sure that Downtown Tampa has deactivated it's tracks. I guess there are still some trains that pass by the city of Tampa, and the fertilizer plants, phosphate mines, power generating plants still need the trains for transport.

New York

We crossed into New York on our trip. It is nice that we live in a country where movement is relatively unimpeded. The day before yesterday, coming from West Virginia into Ohio and then spending much of the day driving from one side of Pennsylvania to the other was tiring. We stayed at a hotel by Mount Pocono. I 77 to I 70 to I 79 to I 80 to I 380 to I 84 to US 9 D to I 287 to I 95 -- it was a long trip. But we made the best of it I suppose. We stopped at a park by the Hudson Highlands. Fran wanted to avoid going into the city.

The iPad Is Step 1 In The Future Of Computing. This Is Step 2 (Or 3).

this looks pretty cool, in a possible future kind of way. I know that my father really likes his ipad. My mother likes to use the ipad when she can get it.

iPad Brings the Growth of Netbooks to a Halt [CHART]

Hmm, this is mildly interesting. But positive growth is probably still growth.

Americans "bombarded" with cancer causes: report - Yahoo! News

When do we decide that the risk of medical scans (x-rays) is too great in adding to our potential cancer risks? I think that the medical x-rays (dental too) are too much of a benefit to doctors in assisting them with diagnosing causes of pains.
