I do not know everything though but I am pretty good at figuring things out, fixing things and sometimes making things better.

Steering is not proportional. It takes wide right turns and spins out when taking left hand turns. Acceleration is very slow and weak. I am pretty disappointed with this device from Griffin. Being the only Bluetooth RC truck I have seen that I can drive with my iPhone I was really hoping that it would be more than it is.
<br>
<br>Perhaps it would make a nice Arduino project or integrate with my Lego Nxt 2.0 Brick but with the lack of Bluetooth steering I don't think anything I could make with it would be very good. It needs proportional steering!

I understand the instinct for survival but a captain of a ship is supposed to be the LAST person off. It is his duty to make sure that his passengers are safe. What this guy did, in my book makes him a coward.<br />

There are ways of searching the web for duplicates of any of your sites. It is not difficult to do and I check regularly. I have already discovered 3 people that have stolen my work and posted it on their own blogs with no mention of me, no credit and no link back.<br />

This is not allowed. The pictures on my blog I have taken so I own them. I have recorded my own videos and own them as well.<br />

Do not just copy and paste my work and think that it is ok. If you do this I will find out about it and I will report you to Google.<br />

If so then help this guy out and pay him to build yours now!Do any of you listen to podcasts? Or even read these posts? I don't get many comments but I know that people come here specifically for my laser tutorial so hopefully some of you will see this.<br />
<br />
Anyway, maybe you have heard of <a href="http://www.dawnanddrew.com">The Dawn And Drew Show</a>, maybe you havnt. You can find them on iTunes and download their podcast for free. It's actually pretty good. I can't remember how many years I have been listening to them but I started listening to them when you could still find an mp3 player at Walmart. I said mp3 player, not IPod! There actually was a time when iPods didn't exist. So that should give you a better idea as to how long <a href="http://www.dawnanddrew.com">The Dawn And Drew Show</a> has been around. It is the longest running podcast in the history of podcasts! I think...Did I mention it's pretty good? Dawn and Drew are good funny people. You'll learn that as you listen to their show. They also have a few episodes of <a href="http://dawnanddrewtv.com/">Dawn and Drew TV</a> available. <br />
<br />
To get to the point, Drew is offering a 5 page website with hosting and a domain name for $500 dollars. I'm really not sure what the going rate for websites is but $500 dollars sounds like a good deal. If you follow the link to his page he also has a link to his <a href="http://drewdomkus.com/portfolio/">portfolio</a> where you can check out some of his previous work. It looks pretty good to me so if you are in the market for a website then follow his link and take a look at his work. The economy sucks and just about everyone is broke, you are probably broke, I am broke and apparently Drew is broke and needs some work so help him out and get that website you've always wanted.<br />
<br />
Do you take a lot of photos? Are you a photographer looking for your own site to help promote or start a business? The possibilities are endless. Whatever you can imagine, IT CAN BE DONE!<br />
Maybe. I don't know the extent of his web design skills so I can't make that statement. Really though, take a look at his work and see for yourself. And don't forget to check out the show!<br />

I know that one day people did not just stop searching the web for laser tutorials and stop visiting my blog. What I don't know is what happened.<br />
<br />
If any bloggers out there have run in to similar issues real recently let me know in a comment below. Also, if you managed to fix it let me know what you did.<br />
<br />
More than likely the problem is because of my own error. I just don't know if blogger or google changed anything.<br />
<br />
Analytics says that it is receiving data from my blog and everything is okay so I really have no clue on this one. I never really dug to deep into Analytics to know how it all works. It told me what I needed to know at the time and that was how many hits a day my blog was getting. Now I wish I took the time to read and learn more. Reading is very important when it comes to just about anything you want to learn.<br />

Panoramic capture is not yet ready for public release but is included in ios 5 however it is not enabled. You can enable it by searching for firebreak in cydia. Keep in mind that because it is not ready for public release that it may not work as well as you would like it to.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15360655594127067449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133423551351428328.post-52856404170512884012011-11-10T19:04:00.001-05:002011-11-10T19:04:58.907-05:00Laser Tutorial ViewsMy laser tutorial has had 70,843 views since it was posted!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15360655594127067449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133423551351428328.post-57930664467251312952011-11-10T18:31:00.001-05:002011-11-10T19:03:30.604-05:00Favicon DesignWho would like to design the Favicon for this blog? I would love to make it a contest but im afraid that I have nothing to give away as a prize.
I will be designing a temporary Favicon for the blog but I figured that I could leave it up to my viewers to design and decide which favicon wins and will be the official Random How To favicon.
Once your image is made, it needs to be sized to 57px x 57px and saved as a .PNG file at 72dpi. Name the file apple-touch-icon.png and email it to me.
Once the favicon is finished and applied to my blog it will have a home screen icon for Iphone users when they add my site as a bookmark to their home screen.
If you like the idea of this please let me know in the comments and if you have anything to submit please send it to me via email at jpjelmore@gmail.com Subject: Favicon Random How To so that I can easily spot the submission in all of my other emails.
I hope to get some submissions coming up int he next few days or weeks. I cant wait to see what you all send me.
Thanks and Good Luck!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15360655594127067449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133423551351428328.post-1689627335131104372011-11-10T17:47:00.001-05:002011-11-10T18:05:11.367-05:00Mobile Browser CompatibleRandom How To is now mobile web browser compatible.<br />

Ive been going through the settings and seeing what is new with blogger and I noticed the option to set up mobile view. With the increase of smartphones and tablets on the market as well as seeing that there have been viewers from mobile devices I decided to enable mobile view. Now you can easily view my blog from your phone. <br />
<br />
I also set up the ability to snap photos with my iPhone and send them directly to my blog as a new post. I think that is a pretty cool feature. Ive already been messing around with the blogger app for ios.<br />
<br />
I hope to have some new content to post but most times when I am working on a project I never think to grab my camera and take some pictures along the way. There have been countless projects I have worked on since the creation of this blog but most of the time I forget that it is even here until I receive an email when I have new comments.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15360655594127067449noreply@blogger.com0Glens Falls, NY 12801, USA43.3163893 -73.647734243.2701773 -73.7266982 43.362601299999994 -73.5687702tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133423551351428328.post-77695387213740322792011-11-10T17:39:00.000-05:002011-11-10T17:40:23.169-05:00My Arduino Clone<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SGZIpP0MSBY/TrxS2O8AH5I/AAAAAAAAAJE/F-mOzE5hIhY/s1600/photo-723170.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SGZIpP0MSBY/TrxS2O8AH5I/AAAAAAAAAJE/F-mOzE5hIhY/s320/photo-723170.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673500722256158610" /></a></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15360655594127067449noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133423551351428328.post-83656270301735323162011-11-07T07:58:00.001-05:002011-11-07T07:58:57.388-05:00Looking for suggestions!Anyone who has an idea for a "how to" please share it in the comments.
