cookin poppin sushiCategory: food
(e:hodown) brought the craziest Japanese candy sushi making kit. I was so fascinated by the way the salmon roe candy popped the same way real salmon roe pops in your mouth. The rice actually tasted like and was the consistency of rice. The only thing that could have improved it was fish flavoring. The instructions are actually quite elaborate.

At&t Attain/Samsung Galaxy s2 - Android Development on Fedora 15Category: android
I was excited to see that my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from AT&T works as good with the Android SDK (ADK) on eclipse as my Nexus One did. This tutorial is assuming you already have the ADK environment setup and are just changing phones like I did.
Step One is to enable debugging on the device under settings -> applications -> Development. Check the box that says USB debugging.
When you first plug the device into the computer and type: adb devices: at the command prompt, it will show up as a bunch of question marks, meaning that it won't work with the ADK.
In order to get it working you need to first get the usb device identifier. You can do this by typing lsusb into the fedora terminal application.
This will give you a list of usb devices plugged into the computer. You need to look for the one that matches your phone.
[paolo@svelt15 ~]$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04e8:685e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
Next step is to create a new udev rule for the device using your favorite text editor. You can use vi or nano.
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
then add the following rule:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="685e", MODE="0666"
Notice the produce and vendor ID come directly from the lsusb info above. You could use these instructions with other phones, in fact it worked perfect with my Nexus One when I was first developing on that.
After this is done you can either reboot or restart udev. Almost all of the instructions you find are for ubuntu but on fedora you restart udev rules with
sudo /sbin/start_udev Then just unplug and plugin the phone. It should now work with the ADK.
When you type: adb devices: You should now see the device listed instead of a bunch of question marks.

I havent even rooted this one, they barely lock it down now. In fact most the reasons I rooted my last phone are moot because this phone does them all: gingerbread and tethering. The only reason I probably still will is just so I can get rid of the facebook app.

Can you teach me how to root and completely hack my phone software someday? I would love to be able to do that!

Sulcata Baby DreamsCategory: pets
I wish so bad I lived in a place where we could just have a large tortoise farm and they could stay out side all year long.
I was reading the wikipedia article and they had this picture of the cutest baby sulcata named Isaac

Turtle represents my spirit in how it always has its home to retreat to and only comes out of its shell when comfortable, a nice metaphor for introversion. I also relate to how they live in the boundary between water and land. In various mythologies, turtles are the strength of the world, the world rests on the turtle's back.
And this baby tortoise is sooo cute.

Slow and determined/consistent like the tortoise and the hare story. Not gay prison rape style style.

What kind of a spirit is that??! Somehow that doesn't seem like a particularly exciting kind.

I don't care that Steve is deadCategory: people
He is just a person. Get on with your lives everyone. People act as if technology died. Its not even a surprise death, he had been dying for a long time. I kind of like that he died because it proved you cannot buy health. Even with billions. Each of us is just a person, just an animal, and we all are mortal.
I was so surprised that google and motorola postponed the launch of their new android phone out of respect for Steve Jobs. His own company didn't even do the same thing with their own iPhone 4gs as he was dying. Now that's a commitment to capitalism that I think Steve would be proud of.

AllThingsD now reports that Samsung and Google did indeed cancel the event due to Jobs' death, feeling that the launch would be inappropriate given the mourning process still going on throughout the tech industry and the world.
The decision to postpone things was made late last night at the top levels of both companies, sources said, with Jobs’ death being the reason. There are no delays with the product itself, sources insisted.

"you cannot buy health" : yes you can! First with a good dentist :-) Secondly it seems that most people give more importance to have than to be which is ridiculous and shadow many health issues when they could be easily dealt with! Third point : health has been so much mixed with money that many (if not all) corporations that officially are in war against disease, need it badly to survive, therefore research tend to focus on profitable long term diseases without solving the problems (stopping many levels of pollution and destructing behaviors), therefore the problems tend to get worse and we get more diseases so more profit for the "health" market (the health market is happy until sick employees are not well enough to run the machine and at that stage it may be too late to avoid some sort of mass casualties), and especially confusing messages, so many rich people don't seem to be able to get the correct mixture to be very healthy! It's interesting to note that the rich people are generally pro-system (because it worked well for them) therefore they are not in a good psychological position to be wary of it when it start to go awry.
