Look, I am using Apple's MMS on my iPhone 2G! And posting to Blogger via MMS. Using the 1st generation iPhone (2G) I bought almost two years ago, runnng iPhone OS 3.0.

Megan Fox? : CHECK Transformers? : CHECK Plot? : CHECK Ooooh, I'm going to have to go to the judges on that one. Judges? Yes, By a 4 to 3 vote, we do have a plot. Crass and juvenile humor which adds nothing to the movie yet cheapens the entire experience? : CHECK "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is an OK movie. Not great. And this is coming from me... If there was anyone who was willing to take a hit for the Transformer team - it's me. But I would say, save your money and watch it second run or on DVD. Wait, it has lots of Megan Fox . Who am I kidding, it was worth twice what I paid. AND it has Transformers. So I guess even the stupid fart joke humor can't ruin it all that much. But I question the need for it.

Taken at the Portland Rose Festival "waterfront village". "No photos of our [crappy] display allowed" Editorial comments added by me... I can only guess either they are scared that I will copy their business model, or that Disney will find out they are using Disney materials. Either way it was fun to take pictures of their "no pictures" signs.

In this wonderfully beautiful Portland weekend, have a great time! Let's all remember that Memorial Day is about remembering the almost 1.5 million American Servicemen who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our great country. These beautiful images of our wonderful city would not be possible without them. Thank you to every soldier who has given their lives. May we "earn" what you have given us.
