NFC Enabled Case for Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet

Since samsung decided not to include 3g/4g it the US version of the galaxy note tab 8.0 I have to use my Galaxy note 2 phone as a mobile hotspot. I also needed a case for the Note 8.0 and didn't want to spend $50 on an ugly plastic one so I made one of my own from an old book, an old pillow case, an old towel, a dragon patch, NFC capable sticker and good old fashioned thread and needle. oh 4 and mix in an MFA.

In the end I I have an awesome, very lightweight case that also doubles as a toggle for the wifi hotspot capability of my phone. Simply tap the dragon with the phone and the phones wifi hotspot goes on or off.

Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet

I decided to buy a Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet because I wanted to have a larger surface for taking notes with thr s-pen during meetings. I like the ipad but I really miss the accurate stylus when I switch from the note 2 phone to the ipad 4. The note 2 is good for jotting down ideas but the size makes in not so convenient for more complex notes.

This is my second midsize tablet and I have to say this one is far superior to the original nook, although the screen is now just a little too wide to fit in a pocket unlike the nook.

It has a 5mp rear camera. I forgot how crappy 5mp is compared to 8mp but its not like there is a better option on any other mid size tablet. The screen is also significantly crappy compared with the amazing screen on the note 2.

All in all its does what I want. Make paper even more obsolete.

Overtime

I have so many exciting things to work on right now. Now, if I could only get paid overtime. I started this morning with 38.5 hours for the week already. Its so disheartening to feel like I am getting nothing out of the rest of it. Maybe if I could, I would have the gold necklace (e:paul,57502)

Pooping out wood chips

I never really thought about beaver poop but it seems to consist of a lot of wood chips and turn into saw dust.

Hiking at the Niagara Gorge

(e:yesthatcasey) and I headed down to the Gorge for a hike on Saturday. Poor (e:terry) couldn't make it because he had to process taxes all day.

It was nice to spend the day relaxing in the sun and I got to talk through a bunch of stuff going through my head.

We saw (e:holly)'s husband Brian filming down there.
