My brother Stan’s “awesome” shirt
This is pretty funny although only some will get it 
BTW, he said that there was not enough space to add "static" to his BeAwesome method!
You can buy his shirt or create your own here
Habitat for Humanity
Today we had a lot of fun in Shakopee helping with the roof trusses one of the Delta sponsored homes. We had a beautiful day and a great team to work with.
Everyone worked hard and we even allowed Kim S to use power tools Thanks everyone!

Vikings game
Today I joined a few of my classmates for the Vikings game. We met Ed Hochuli, Wally the beer man, and the Vikings won A great day!
The Metrodome has implemented some new technology that allows people to watch replays and other NFL games, very cool!
Thanks Paul!
NFL Sunday + Sprint 4G + Slingbox = WOW!
Since the Vikings have already played this week I am not planted in front of the TV today. Our family has been enjoying a beautiful day.
I have been enjoying some football though. While the girls are in a shop Joey and I are hanging in the car watching football on my EVO 4G. The 4G bandwidth is so nice to have, my Slingbox has not stuttered once!
Unrevoked Forever
I admit, I was so excited about Froyo on my EVO that I loaded it and gave up my rooted device. I have now used the 2.2 root method provided here and am setup once again with a rooted EVO. Being able to perform screen captures for little app reviews is nice among other benefits.
I have also loaded a new kernel that allows my EVO to achieve higher frames per second (FPS) which has offered a substantial graphics performance increase.
I look forward to trying out some other ROM options like CyanogenMod but with 4G around the corner in our market I will wait until that ROM has 4G capabilities.
Sprint Airave 3G – Airvana Access Point
I received the new 3G Airave from Sprint today. I must say, there is not much of a need for me to turn on Wi-Fi on my phone with this thing running. The below speed tests are from the Airave over my Comcast connection. This is certainly a nice change over the original model that only offered 1x data where my devices would still reach out to local towers and eat up battery. I look forward to seeing what kind of battery savings that I realize with a strong data signal in our home. The real kicker would be having broadband at the cabin and putting this thing to use when needed.
I am very curious to see what Sprint does with the VOIP capabilities that this device offers. It would be nice to consolidate my phones to a single bill but it might be difficult for them to beat our the feature set and pricing that I currently have with another VOIP carrier. This functionality will offer Sprint another revenue stream and likely be a great way to lure people from traditional phone lines.
So far, the new Airave is showing our location correctly on Google Latitude unlike the previous model that showed me a couple of cities away.
I still have 4G in my neighborhood in case Comcast goes down...
The new Airvana model all ready to go.

4G in my neighborhood!!
OK, so I am a geek who drives around town with my EVO 4G radio turned on and noticed today when I pulled into our neighborhood that I had a 4G signal. It's not very strong at my house but just down the street with 1-2 bars I was able to get some pretty incredible speeds...
Rooted!
Thanks to the fine folks on the Unrevoked team my phone is now rooted! It's like jail break for you Apple people 
Time Lapse for Android
I used the Time Lapse application last week to capture a sunset up at the cabin. It's a cool application that creates motion capture videos. There is a free version that has a limited resolution, I purchased the full version because I wanted to run a higher resolution. For this video, I captured a photo every 15 seconds at 15 frames per second at a resolution of 1280x768.
I hope to catch some storms rolling in someday. I just need a good way to mount the phone. For this 'shot' I had my phone leaning against an upside down bar stool on the dock
