Traveling with Technology: A New Experience

I cannot wait to learn about Saudi Arabia through my travels. I am even more excited with the technological possibilities during this journey. Technology is very similar to travel. They both can be very powerful when everything works, but from time to time they don't always turn out the way we envision them in our minds. I am excited to try a number of different technologies on this journey. I am sure I will run into some issues, but I plan on sharing my experience in a number of different ways for you to learn. Here are the technologies that I will be attempting to use throughout my journey.

• Google Tools (Blogger, Google Maps, Calendar, Gmail, PicasaWeb, Reader)
  
• Skype and/or iChat with video/audio capabilities and video recorder
  
• iPod (Listening, watching, and recording)
  
• iLife (GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb)
  
• iTunes (Podcasts)
  
• iWeb (Sharing pictures, videos, and audio)
• Photo Booth (Video/Picture)
  
• Voice Thread (Picture and file sharing with commenting capabilities)
  
• Gabcast (Podcasts via phone)
  
• Flight Tracker (Mac Widget that tracks flights)
  
• Before you Know It (Translator)
  
• Epals email (teacher monitored)
  
• RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

I love the technological opportunities available to all of us. We are moving forward at an unbelievable technological rate and I hope everyone is enjoying the possibilities.
