Lloyd's Taco TruckCategory: food
We took (e:hodown) to Lloyd's Taco truck on Friday. The line was like 15 minutes long. It was delicious as always especially the crunchy fish taco, although I was not a fan of the spicy brownie.

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.
