Chromecast is totally rock'n! I immediately ordered two Chromecast units last week while watching the livecast during a flight from Detroit to NYC. They were unexpectedly delivered before I made it back home. It's simply incredible how fast the world is changing driven by emerging solutions in mobile, social and cloud computing. Just two years ago, I was thrilled to get wifi on a plane and now its simply amazing to watch and order a newly announced product from a tablet while flying across the country!!  After an easy setup, the interesting features announced at the product launch last week such as Chrome tab sharing and multi-device support are quickly living up to the hype.  Tab sharing is my hands down favorite feature right now which gets around the many blocking issues of other streaming media solutions. For example, I can now stream Amazon video to the living room TV via Chromecast  while editing photos on another virtual desktop via Mission Control on the family iMac.

This was another great adventure on the golden coast to find the Bowling Ball Beach in Mendocino, California which proved a tad difficult to find. I plotted the location in Google Maps but when I was alerted that I arrived at my location, I only saw woods on both sides and I could tell I was at an elevated location far from the beach so I continued on down the road thinking Google Maps must have got it wrong. .. more on the Unified Photography photo blog .
