Eerie Siri

Just a quick post because we've had a busy weekend.  We're working on remodeling one of the bathrooms in the house where Jessica and family live.  I'll post a photo sometime this week when we're done.  We've been having fun with our new iPhone 5's.  We've been downloading apps and learning more about the phones.  We are completely impressed and fascinated with Siri. You can ask Siri to do things for you like make a call, send a text message, etc... but "she" will also answer questions and give you information.  I asked Siri on Saturday afternoon if UCLA won their football game and she came back with a yes, the score and even a scoreboard showing what happened in each quarter.  I asked where the nearest McDonald's was and she came back with several locations and a map to each.  It's really impressive!  I asked, "Siri, what is the meaning of life? and she said, "All evidence to date suggests it's chocolate."  If you ask again, it will give you more philosophical answers.  Siri is eerie!  Here's a screenshot of page 2 of my iPhone where I have many of the apps that friends suggested.

The other day, we found an old roll of undeveloped film.  It was over 30 years old so we took it to Costco to have it developed.  What a find!  It was photos of Jeff's graduation from the Fire Department.  There are photos of the whole family:  Jeff's grandparents, his mother and father, my mom, and Justin when he was about 7 months old.  I'll either scan the photos or maybe we;ll see if Costco can put them on a CD for us.  That would probably be best.  Wow, we are all so young!  Happy October!

  2. well Siri is completley right, whatever the question the answer is chocolate, and if it isn't, then the question isn't worth asking!

    What a fabulous find with the roll of film. Yeah, you have to show us some of them!

    Thank you for your comment. I'm a sap too, I was crying as I wrote it! Honestly, I can be such a drip at times!

  3. Darylynn, how cool that the film was still good. I hope they can put it on a cd for you. I have yet to print out my Hawaii pics but I need to for a Christmas project I will be doing. You can visit websites on IPhone too.
    We use them at church to read our Bible. I downloaded an app that lets me select the version I like that is more of a modern translation. I am sure the new bathroom will look great! Enjoy your day. Hugs
