Chris AbelGUEST
was monday we had a meeting in the morning and that's when we kind of got the news that hey we need to start we need to start getting stuff in motion so we very quickly came up with plans of how to what to do with current crews that were on base and how to what to do with them and then how to get crews off so we one of the first things we did was made a what we called ended up dubbing the incident command center uh upstairs in our dining hall and From up there, that's where I was posted up, kind of running.

Chris AbelGUEST
Every time, any time a crew got off of the water, we had them drop their canoes at our canoe yard and go straight to us so we could keep an active running list of who exactly was on base.

Chris AbelGUEST
We had 14 or 15 crews left out there, so we had a little over 30 crews get off of the water, plus the six that were there that were supposed to regularly get there that day.

Well, what we have is Apple giving new announcements at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Chris AbelGUEST
It's an annual event in which they showcase all the new things happening in software.

Chris AbelGUEST
So you don't get new phones or hardware, but you do get to find out what's coming to our phones.

Chris AbelGUEST
What's interesting, though, is that Apple is taking Google's artificial intelligence.

Chris AbelGUEST
They're saying they took the underlying technology behind Google's Gemini, and then they've taken it to make their own improvements with Apple Intelligence.
