Android Tip #1: Effectively ignore telemarketers

This is why I love my Android...

A number has been trying to call me two evenings in a row and they never leave a message. As a general rule, I won't pick up the phone unless I know who it is. I did a Google search on the phone number and it's my credit card trying to sell me useless features.

So what to do?

Create a new contact with the offensive phone number and check off the "Send calls directly to voicemail" option.

Easy!

FOMO - Fear of Missing Out

So this blog was really meant for my Android development progress (and other quirky posts too!) but it's been a slow start. Until then, I love this ad for the G1 Android phone:


T-Mobile G1 Google Phone Commercial "F.O.M.O." 60sec from A Friend Of Yours on Vimeo.

If you know me, this may remind you of another project I'm working on! (hint)

LEDs look good on everyone -- including farm animals



We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts. For more info search for samsung LED TV or visit samsung.com/LED

Robot Dance Competition

I love robots and I love dance so there must be no better way to kick off this blog except for to embrace both into the very first post.

If you've been watching America's Best Dance Crew (MTV in the US, MuchMusic in Canada) then you may have seen the very talented Beat Freaks do their thing week after week.

This clip is from week 6 and shows the ladies from LA busting some binary action to a remix of Katy Perry's Hot n Cold.



And their Blade Runner sunglasses and jackets? Love it!!

UPDATE: Video taken off YouTube by Viacom. Full clip of their prep, dance (starting at 1:20 minutes in), and judges comments here.
