My Moon

The photo above is part of the newest application for the iPhone that - although completely gratuitous - is completely awesome and going to really push the limits of technology and connectivity in the world.

It simply blows my mind that, through your iPhone, you can connect directly to Starbucks, place an order, scan your phone and either pay or have the cost of your coffee drink debited from a pre-paid credit. Simply amazing.

Other exciting news: Bank of America will be buying out the remainder of Countrywide. Not only does this completely save Countrywide's tail, but it puts thousands upon thousands of home loans in the US in the hands of a smart and financially capable company. Hopefully all of the deal can be completed by third quarter of this year.
