Another example of the iPhone’s close-up ability! I’m having so much fun with the camera and video when I travel and go hiking.

I have a set of these speakers and I LOVE THEM! Can’t believe the sound that comes out of them, it’s pretty amazing for being teeny-tiny and $50. Great for traveling – get to a hotel and hook them up to your laptop, or iPhone, and crank up iTunes. I have a jack in my car that I hook the iPhone up to and then plug these speakers into the iPhone, sah-wheet!

Seriously cute too.
They squish up and then stick together with magnets on their bottoms.

Go to the Apple store to get them, or online.

Here’s the specs:
Delivering sound beyond its size, the iHM77 is the perfect stereo speaker system for your MacBook, iPod, iPhone or any other notebook.

• Each speaker has a built-in amplifier powered by rechargeable battery

The pictures the iPhone takes are pretty amazing, I just wish there was a flash!

The phone takes a printable 7 x 5 high-res image – not bad when you remember those first smeary pics a phone would take.

My friend Tom gave me some Turkish hazelnuts fresh off his tree (he is in Clear Lake, WA, not in Turkey!) and these things reminded me of tribbles (remember the tribbles from Star Trek – the original? The Trouble with Tribbles? Of course you do..)

Anyhoo, these hazelnuts are gorgeous before they are harvested. They look dangerous, but the spikes are soft. I took a pic of them from about a foot away and it was, as expected, clear:

Then I got about an inch away for a detail, thinking the image would get fuzzy, but no! It’s completely in focus:

I’m impressed. Are you impressed? I’m impressed.
And those hazelnuts were yummy.

I love it!
