Wanna remotely wipe your Android phone?

iPhone users have had some nice security features that you get with MobileMe. The feature that interests me is the remote wipe.

Let’s say that you’re on vacation and your phone gets stolen. Do you want all your important data harvested, or worse? I bet you had Amazon 1-click turned on, didn’t you? Before you get home you have 15 emails telling you that your new HDTV, Macbook, and other assorted goods have already shipped! Not cool.

Android users have really been out in the cold on this one. Yeah, there’s a few jury-rigged options, but they suck. C’mon, they do.

Well, it looks like the good little workers at Google included this sort of administration feature in Froyo, also known as Android 2.2. Don’t worry, if you haven’t heard of it, you may be an Android user NOT using a Nexus One.

The hard working folks at XDA-Developers have poked around and found out how to help us all benefit.

Go get it!

NRA-ILA reports on Constitutional Carry becomes the law in Arizona tomorrow

NRA-ILA reports on Constitutional Carry becomes the law in Arizona tomorrow…

In less than a week, Arizona residents will be allowed to carry a gun in their pocket or purse without needing paperwork to do so. Senate Bill 1108, which allows people to carry concealed guns with no permit takes effect on July 29.

This basically means that Arizonians no longer need any paperwork to legally carry a firearm concealed on their person. As a crazy, right wing, 2nd Amendment supporting American, I totally support this new law. Law abiding citizens should NOT be infringed upon by their government in exercising ANY of their rights detailed in the US Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment.

Sweet new Android Bible app

OK, this isn’t a letitamate review. Sorry. I just wanted to help get the word out.

Crossconnect Bible isn’t just a basic Bible app. It’s also a great study resource. The text is the English Standard Bible, and the added resources come from DesiringGod.org. What is DesiringGod.org”? It’s the ministry resources of Dr. John Piper. Yup.

So, let’s say you’re checking out this sweet verse in Lamentations, and you think there’s got to be more to it than you’re understanding. Well, just click the special button and see if Piper has ever preached from that verse. Most of Piper’s sermons have been transcribed into text form, so you can just read what you want to read. But, do you want to listen to that sermon? No problem, there’s a built-in player!

There’s more, but that should get you interested.

S’Mores are good, right? How about homemade S’Mores? Why not learn how, and share with the family?

Symmetry

A little symmetry goes a long way!

I didn’t get this one very straight, but the idea is still there, I think.

Insanely awesome storm-chasing photos!

Happy retirement, American soldier

Farewell General McChrystal. You can retire knowing that you’re one of the few with accomplishments at your level, even all the way to the top.
