Who knew android could easily take USB

·

I saw an article about a USB host mode chord for android phones and decided for $3.50 it was worth a try. Holy crap was it worth it. You can connect external keyboards, drives and even a mouse. The system says "Mouse connected" and you get a mouse pointer on the screen that works just like on a computer. Totally worth $3.50 and way easier thqan dealing with batteries, syncing, etc that comes with bluetooth. Plus it is ultra super fast.

Here is the purchase link

Night crows

·

I know its dark in these pictures but considering its taken with a cell phone, at night from far away its pretty good. I can't believe how many crows cover the trees of Linwood at nighttime. There are literally thousands of them.

Cornish Game Hens

·

I am obsessed with them. They are the perfect sized animal for eating. I think I might want to grow them more than chickens. They pair well with a dark green salad.

Lunch Interview and Oda

·

I went for a interview for the beta techies awards in tonawanda this afternoon. after Del and I headed to lunch at Zaiga on Delaware ave in Kenmore. Their lunch buffet was so amazing and only $7.99 with plenty of vegetarian options. I meant to take pics but I got so caught up seeing Oda and momma Bob.

I am not sure how the interview went. It was so spontaneous. I know I said codes where I meant to say code at one point. Hopefully, they edit that part out.

Buffalo Maritime Museum

·

@terry and I headed over to the maritime museum for their open house. You have probably seen some of their collection at the inner harbor during the summer.

The cool thing is they have all of these 10 week courses where you build your own boat. I think I would enjoy it but in the end I would have a pretty heavy boat compared to a fiberglass kayak which I could more easily tote around. Still I think the experience might be something interesting. I snapped a shot of each class offered to remind myself.

The thing that stuck out most to me was the vacuums, but that is just because I am obsessed with vaccuums.

Braided tail and long work hours

·

@terry braided my hair as I worked the 56th hour of with this week. I just want my current project to launch but my normal work week is so full if meetings, other projects, helping people, server mgmt, and drama that I can barely work on it during normal work time. I think this is going to be the final week of testing and documentation.
