Fifty bucks. Fifty. This thing is almost as rad as a Transformer. Except that it is 7" and *probably* too under-powered to run Flash. It has killer battery life, so I will put this to use as an eReader. Not until I can maximize the performance…see if I can flash a ROM on this thing and overclock some stuff. Rooting and getting the Android Market will be the first step. Could be fun.

I would be lying to say that it wasn’t disappointing to see my Silverado SS from the rear view mirror of my new Old Man F150. Emma outgrew the SS about a year and a half earlier than I had anticipated. This 07 showed up on craigslist with 40k miles. Couldn’t pass it up. I’m not kidding about putting some stars and stripes on the license plate. I can’t picture anything else on this big white thing.

Good times with dad… …Linux VM on the work Win7. We don’t really mess around.

Hefty? In need of a red shirt? My third Woot BOC showed up, and lived up to its name. Incredibly crappy. Unboxing… Sort of sad that the Fuji 1.5V long life AA was the surprise hero of the box. I’m serious about the shirt. I’ll ship.

Rice cereal. By definition, gruel. +1 tasty

Woot! Things are coming up Milhouse…stay tuned for the un-boxing.

The only thing better than bacon is bonus bacon: the bacon left over from a bacon feast. The only thing better than bonus bacon is the ellusive bonus bacon lattice… Stack while hot, refrigerate, and enjoy.

Webcams: 2 Foscam FI8918W Android App: IP Cam Viewer Baby: Emma

Poking around on the Android Market for an app to control my Foscam IP Webcams, I stumbled across a cool app concept. Long story short, someone wrote some code to serve the live camera feed…effectively turning an android device into an IP cam. The app is free on the Market…just search for IP Webcam and it will pop up. Here it is in operation, serving from my Droid 2 for viewing on my Linux machine… This would pair nicely with my IOIO project, provided I can bring it back from the grave. I could mount the phone itself on the payload, giving this sucker on-board video. A second device (Galaxy…) could provide the board control, and I could implement a web view into my app. Might be on to something here…stay tuned.

The three constituents of the Triforce are Power, Wisdom, and Courage… … …I’ve got wisdom and courage on lock, but am hoping the Baum Bat customization lends itself to more power. Baseball and Zelda, for the wins.
