July 20, 2008 Notes
What a day - Got up at 7:30 to leave for airport at 7:55 to get Brus on the way back to Seattle. Got back home and read Chapter 3 of HODE 2007. I had started to read the 2003 edition HODE and had read the first 11 chapters when the 2007 edition arrived. I decided to read both books a part (section) at a time, Part 1 of the 2003 edition followed by Part 1 of the 2007 version. Both editions have 5 parts in common. The 2007 version has an additional part not in the 2003 edition. I will have a similar problem in 90 days (44 plus 46) when I get ready to start in on the Handbook of Reaearch on Educational Communications and Technology. I just got the 3rd Edition which came out in 2008. This background reading helps me prepare for my projected blog series, Online Learning Today, a review of current research in online learning and teaching.
Then I fired up the MacBook Pro to synch up the iPhone and check for Ed 603 student assignments so I could do the regular Sunday upload of the online gradebook file, when a message popped up saying the 2.0 firmware upgrade for the iPhone was ready to be downloaded. Hurray. This of course took awhile and the old MacBook Pro was busy preparing a netflix movie to be transferred to AppleTV so I opened up the HV20 and started recording John's Tech Vlog in the blue recliner with Chobe sitting in my lap.
The refitted iPhone seemed to be working perfectly so I clicked on the new app button and downloaded a New York Times reader (free) and Super Monkey Ball ($9.99).
It is almost time for supper and I am again sitting in the blue recliner with Chobe in my lap entering text into a Notes document. Time to send it to wassonjbw for inclusion in the iPhoneJournal on blogger.

July 19, 2008 Notes
1:21 PM sitting in the Medford Cinemark with Barbara and Brus waiting for Dark Knight to begin. We got here plenty early so we could be certain of getting seats together. No problem, we had our choice of the house. We were even able to go to Circuit City before the movie started and pick up some miniDV tapes. I am listening to Leo's Tech Guy podcast while waiting for the movie. I had to crank the volume down on my hearing enhancement devices so I could hear the podcast. I have my little controller along so I can adjust the volume in the theater if necessary. I also brought along batteries, the last time I went to a movie one of the devices needed a battery change. Well time to log off and watch the previews (intermixed unfortunately with commercials, which certainly does not enhance theater viewing experience). In fact I was wrong, its not previews that are being shown right now but commercials. At 20 minutes before show time the previews started. Unfortunately, the preview was followed by a commercial. Even the prievies are more commercials than preview or trailers. And the commercials continued. This uninteresting display is called cinema first look. So much for the theater experience.

Sunday 3:50 P
I am sitting in the blue recliner with Chobe stretched out on the carpet at my feet. She came inside for a snack and relief from the 97 degree F day in the yard. I have spent the day working on a vlog about my computers, my network, and the problems with creating documents on different computers with the same application, and with sharing documents between computers, and reading a chapter by Peters in the HODE.
I just reset the iPhone and can now do all the things I could not do, make a call, access the Internet and send a tweat, and send email. I was just able to send Notes docs to myself, to post on the iPhone blog, for the first time since early June.
However, I sent the messages to wassonjb@mac.com and they showed up in the inbox of the iPhone where I deleted them, but not in mail on the MacBook Pro. Before finding this out I had deleted the original Notes on the iPhone and thus lost all the content. Let's send this Note to wassonjbw@gmail.com which makes sense since blogger, the repository for John's iPhone Journal, is a google enterprise. So let's send this note to wassonjbw and not delete the original note on the iPhone.
