Lego Android
Of late, most of my posts have been about Lego, the Droid phone and the Android operating system, so I thought I’d combine and them and create the Android logo / mascot out of Lego, in full 3D. The size of the Android was dictated by the dome on the top half of the Android. […]
The App Store vs The Marketplace
With the iPhone’s triumphant creation of their app store and the stories of instant riches, developers lined up to begin building applications to join the ranks of the wealthy. Once it worked for Apple, other device manufacturers began announcing similar stores for their devices, from other phone manufacturers to Ford’s cars to the Amazon Kindle, each trying to expand the usefulness through the work of third party developers. Google and Apple take diametrically opposing stances on the running of their stores, but is one way better than the other?
Custom Lego Kevin Matchstick Mage Minifigure
Since I have been making Lego related posts each Monday, mainly in relation to my Etsy store, I thought I would take this week to share a custom creation I’ve recently created. I was inspired to create a custom minifigure based on Kevin Matchstick, the lead character of Matt Wagner’s Mage comic book series.
Video, Movie and TV Apps on the Droid
In my article on my Droid apps, a commenter asked if there was a list of video/tv apps for the Droid because she had just switched to the Droid and missed the VCast video app. Since, the Android Marketplace is a such a mess, I did some research and found all the apps I could to compliment my list of music, audio and radio apps.
Four sculptures for Etsy in four weeks – What next?
As promised in January, I decided to start selling my Lego sprite sculptures on Etsy after procrastinating for so long. I put up one sculpture a week for four weeks for sale and now Mario, Link, Samus Aran and Mega Man are available in my Etsy store. From here, the question is what comes next. […]
Samus Aran of Metroid in the Etsy Store – Plus Valentine’s Creations
As I stated in the original posting, when I put Mario in my Etsy store, I was planning to do one sprite sculpture a week for four weeks to introduce my creations. In addition to Mario, Link and Mega Man were created, which leaves this week as the fourth in this series, Samus Aran of Metroid. Now you too can battle Mother Brain in Samus’ eternal battle against the metroids.
New Feature on Live Tweets – Archives
When using Live Tweets at an event, sometimes you want to go back the next day and see what people said during your event. Now you can with Live Tweets archiving. Everything seen on the Live Tweets screen during the event is stored for future viewing.
Mega Man now in the Etsy store
In previous weeks, Mario and Link were built and put in my Etsy store, but now it’s time to add Capcom’s 8 bit star, Mega Man! Join him in his battle with Dr. Light against Dr. Wily and his army of robots with this Lego sprite sculpture.
Music, Audio and Radio Apps on the Droid
Since the most common comparison to the Droid is the iPhone, the question of music often comes up. The iPhone was built to be one part iPod, one part phone, so the natural usage of music on the iPhone made sense. With the competitive nature between the iPhone and the Droid, it only makes sense that the users of the Droid phone would want to be able to play music too.
