ILGISA Conference

I attended the conference in Springfield and made a presentation about CMV (Configurable Map Viewer).
The session went well, and there were quite a few attendees.

Family Photo in Summer, 2015

During a visit to grandparents, we asked them to take a family photo for us.

Tablet

Since I bought a smartphone, I would no longer use a 7 inch tablet.
The 4.5 inch screen smartphone seems potable and functionable.
A 11 inch netbook is more convenient when viewing and editing the projects.
Hardware is getting smaller and lighter these days.

The Crossing Preschool

Starting at August 25, Sola started going to the crossing preschool.
His class is scheduled three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).
He was very excited to meet new teachers and friends.
This is a photo of Sola leaving the house on the first day.

Smartphone

We finally updated our cell phones on August 18.
Our 2 year contract ended last May, and we had been looking for an affordable smartphone plan.
After long research, we decided to purchase prepaid phones with Verizon.
With a great coverage, it provides unlimited talk and text with 2GB data for $45 per month.
Disabling data and setting WiFi as default, we would not use much data.
A device we selected was LG Transpyre which is compatible with 4G LTE.

City Map 2015

Lexi revised the city map I created several years ago.
The map was enclosed in today's newspaper.

Additionally, the glossy paper map was provided to the community.

Very hot

It recorded 105F heat index on Tuesday.
I felt dizzy when getting in a car.
I am glad it cooled down today.
