This afternoon my “sim card kit” arrived from T-mobile. The process of unlocking my phone was time consuming due to a conflict between Norton 360 and iTunes on my Macbook, but was otherwise painless. After unlocking the iPhone 4s, I simply popped in the new T-mobile sim card and booted up. The phone immediately found the network and after a few more minutes online to setup a new account, I’m up an running with voice, data and text. To recap from an earlier post, the new T-mobile plan is a full $70/month cheaper than AT&T with 4Gb more data, unlimited txt, and just a few less minutes. I’ll be out and about in the next few days and will empirically test coverage on major freeways etc. around the DC Metro area.

This is a story of truly cool engineering and real men doing real work who don’t stop to pout about getting a little boo boo. It’s amazing that Letourneau isn’t better known.
Photo cloud storage options

An excellent article comparing options out there for cloud-based photo and video storage. Comments pretty much mirror my own experiences. My personal favorites are Flickr and SmugMug due to their extreme cost efficiency for large number of RAW photos. http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/29/4560364/best-cloud-storage-photo-apps
