Lawyers trade marked me!

Well first time for everything I suppose. I built this widget which new name will is HT Walkability Score since the old name is trade marked but I can link to the website walkscore.com. Since this was just a hobby project and something I enjoyed doing and just kicking around to continue to improve my Android skills it is no big deal. I suppose they are about to build there own or something because other wise they wouldn't really care that much I am guessing. Hoping they will ring me up to work on it!

There was life before G1 and now there is life before Nexus One

My Nexus One arrive today. Since I wrote weruat.com for the first Android Challenge  of which I ended up just paying a chunk load of time. I got a G1 when they first came out and started to play around with some fun mobile applications. Last January I bought my wife a Nexus One (just love the idea of Freedom!). So I kind had an idea of what I was getting myself into.

I didn't think I took for granted the Android Navigation but I think I was not using my phone because it had gotten so slow. It reminds me how important speed is for any software. I was starting to think I would use my phone less now that my Google Voice number ring in gmail so I just answer most calls with my headset. Then I realized how much dead time I have waiting for a meeting to start or end as the case may be.

Just made me realize building a better mouse trap doesn't have to be innovative or more feature filled it could just be FASTER!
