It took a while, but I've finally started doing something with this site. I'm going to make an honest effort to update this site and/or blog regularly from now on. And to start I'd like to inform you of a few projects that I will be working on very soon, as well as a few unrelated projects that may prevent me from making much progress on the others.

First of all, I have purchased a Zii EGG.

In case you haven't heard of it I'll provide you with a few brief details. (obtained from here)

Capacitive 10-Point multi touch display

3.5" 320x480 true color display

X-Fi audio processing

up to 32GB internal flash storage

3 Axis Accelerometer

Full Size SDHC Slot (up to 32GB)

Dual Cameras (1 VGA and 1 HD)

720p and 1080p output

Hardware GPS Receiver

Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

Wi-Fi 802.11b/g

Supports Plaszma OS and Android

Up until now I haven't really looked into Android or developing apps for portable devices very much. The thought had crossed my mind but I never had any real reason to do anything about it. Then I happen to run across the Creative Zii EGG a few weeks ago. I was intrigued by the device's capabilities and had several ideas for programs i could write for it. I thought if nothing else it would be fun to play with and maybe I could learn a few things from it. So, expect a few updates from me concerning the Creative Zii EGG and possibly the Plaszma OS.

Now, for the other project that will most likely be consuming all of my free time. My wife and I have recently purchased a house and are in the process of getting a few things set up and taken care of before we move in. Things that would be easier with out all of our stuff in the way, such as painting a few rooms, replacing major appliances, adding on a deck, etc. Once all of these are finished I'll be able to devote more time to working on this site and my various projects.

For now, I've just got to work on the house when I can so that we can finally move in (we're hoping for an early to mid september move in date) and wait for my Zii EGG to arrive. Once it does, I'll be sure to post some pictures and a short review.
