I Am Displaying At Maker Faire NY
Ever since I saw the tech gift guide put out online by Make Magazine at the end of their first year of publication, I have been a fan of their magazine and online content. The DIY movement has always appealed to me and the projects within their pages have inspired me since I picked up my first issue. That’s why I needed to be part of the Maker Faire when it was announced that it would finally come to New York.
Book and Reading Apps for the Droid
When traveling with your Droid, Droid 2 or Droid X, sometimes it’s good to have something to read with you. When are in a position where you can’t actually carry a book, it’s good to have an app that will let you keep up with your reading without the bound paper in your hand.
Lego Green Lantern Power Battery
As a fan of Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern, when I was seeking ideas of things to build, it was only natural to build the Green Lantern power battery that Hal Jordan uses to power the ring with which he battles evil and foes such as the Sinestro Corp. Of course, it wouldn’t be worth building if I couldn’t power the ring like Hal, so the inspiration was born.
The Lego TARDIS SNOT Technique
This past weekend, I was talking to Patrick about the Lego TARDIS I built because he had seen it featured on Syfy’s Blastr.com. He read my write up, but didn’t understand what I had meant by the SNOT technique or why I did it. In my original post, I tried to keep an even balance for both neophytes and AFOLs, but I wanted to go more in depth on how the technique works.
Lego TARDIS
Earlier this summer, I was trying to think of some new ideas to build for the upcoming BrickFair. At the same time, I was watching the new series of Doctor Who and the two ideas came together. An amalgam of the Doctor’s time travel device and the Lego bricks with a technological twist was the goal.
JustJon.Net WordPress Plugins
I was recently talking to my friend Jaki, who pointed me to his blog post on must have Wordpress plug-ins. I looked at his list and found it lacking in certain areas, and when I started mentioning plug-ins or types of plug-ins, he felt I should create a counter post. Rather than seeing what I thought were mandatory plug-ins, I felt it was better served to just show what I use on this site.
Anime Apps for the Droid
Growing up, there were a few cartoons that were brought over from Japan and rebranded for American kids. We ate up Starblazers, Battle of the Planets and Voltron, unaware of its true origins overseas. With time, Japanese animation grew into its own and Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and their ilk grabbed the hearts and minds of a new generation of children, as well as their older counterparts who watched more adult oriented anime. Now, watching them isn’t limited just to the television, but to the Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X as well.
Droid vs Droid 2 vs Droid X – Which Should You Buy?
As the market becomes larger and there are more phones available, it becomes harder to decide which phone to purchase. Recently, my friend Jeff asked me to look into which phone he should get. It is a tough decision that many people who walk into the Verizon store face.
Dating Apps For the Droid
A friend of mine recently said the most common type of startup that people come up with is dating related. Since there is such a popularity for dating websites right now, why wouldn’t it carry over to the Android phones as well? That’s why I looked into dating apps for the Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X.
Recap: Damon Runyon Yankee Stadium 5K
This past Sunday, I decided to participate in my second 5K. The first was a run through the Bronx Zoo to raise money for Tigers, both at the zoo and in the wild, and the second run was through Yankee Stadium to support the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. While I knew how unconventional the course would be, I had no clue what it really would be like.
