Funkadelic Playground Thoughts from Shrop

Emily Grace is selling Girl Scout Cookies for Troop 234! I am taking orders via this web site or in person. The cookies are $3.50/box. Check out the available cookies at the bottom of this post. Cookies will be delivered on February 12th. I will meet you in the Concord NC area or near UNC Charlotte if necessary.

• This will be our last update on this blog post since we are now at home.
• Emily Grace slept really well last night.
• We slept as well as we could in the hospital.
• She ate good and was able to poopy to satisfy the doctors.
• She has only had to take motrin for pain for the past 24 hours or so.
• She has a good sized incision. It is scary to look at for Mommy and Daddy on their little girl. The surgeons are happy with the way it looks though.

Just in time for Christmas shopping, Amazon.com released an iPhone native app.

Check out this nicely done Windows 7 Wallpaper:

Okay, I finally got around to listing the iPhone apps I use a lot on iusethis.com. A few aren't on the site and I didn't have time to add them as new apps.

Check out my list here: http://iphone.iusethis.com/user/shrop

Feel free to comment on apps that you like too.

I was a bit skeptical when Lisa wanted to start a new small group. It is a major time commitment, but very rewarding. We have both felt a strong need to connect and Bible study with others who share our interest to learn.

I a m no fan of Blackberry mobile devices, but many of my friends and colleagues use them. Good news is that LifeChurch.tv has release a version of their Bible app for the Blackberry. Check out the details here: Introducing the Blackberry Bible App!

Came across this purchase plan from 1985 (see link below). Notice the pricing and size of the hard drive upgrade. At least tech gets cheaper and generally improves over time.
