Diving into Android Development - Questions

I'm taking the dive into learning Android development and was wondering if anyone had good suggestions to get me on the right track. One question I have is if anyone thinks it would be worth starting off with the new Android Studio as opposed to Eclipse?

Also I know how easy it can be to start off down the wrong path only to be forced to start over from a different direction. Are there any pitfalls I should avoid? Thanks!

Just how does one manage to commit suicide by decapitation.. in their home? - Update: With hands and feet bound!

Any ideas?

Edit: Turns out his hands and feet were bound as well. WHAT?
Tulsa police say a woman came home to find her husband dead in the garage with his hands and feet bound and decapitated.

Police surrounded the home near 45th & Sheridan looking for answers.  They believe the death may have been a suicide.

7+ Hours for a Tow? AAA Nightmare!

+AAA used to be a fantastic to at worst decent service but tonight has really been what has to be the worst of the worst I've seen from them. I was riding with my sister yesterday and we experienced a blow out at around 7PM central. There was no spare so she called AAA for a tow to her son in law's shop. Just to get the WTF customer service experience rolling AAA told us the ETA for a tow was 2 hours. We were located just to the west of the river in Tulsa and only about 2 miles from Glenpool so it's not like we were in the middle of nowhere. The temp was still extremely hot and my sis has been feeling sick so she asked if they could get someone there sooner. The operator says she will make some calls and get back to us.

We wait about an hour with no response so she calls them back. The agent says the ETA is 8:01PM which is only... more »

In 2007, Greg Craven, a science teacher at Central High School in Oregon posted this nine and one-half minute video on YouTube.

The video presents a simplified version of risk management using a 2x2 grid to sketch out possible scenarios based on: a) whether we choose to take action or not, and b) whether global warming turns out to be a threat or not. Using the grid, Craven concluded that taking action to combat climate change was the better choice, given the relative risks. Most of the criticisms of what's presented here have been addressed by the bruisingly thorough 7-hour How It All Ends video project, the discussion is happening over there.
The creator of the video spent months combing through literally tens of thousands of critical comments to find every single objection, criticism, "Yeah but," and "You missed a spot" that could be held against the... more »

Dear Google users—

You may be aware of press reports alleging that Internet companies have joined a secret U.S. government program called PRISM to give the National Security Agency direct access to our servers. As Google’s CEO and Chief Legal Officer, we wanted you to have the facts.

First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers. Indeed, the U.S. government does not have direct access or a “back door” to the information stored in our data centers. We had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday.

Second, we provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law. Our legal team reviews each and every request, and frequently pushes back when requests are overly broad or don’t follow the correct process. Press reports that suggest that Google is providingopen-ended ac... more »

May 31st Storm Chase

Predictions were for a major outbreak of severe weather on May 31st so my sister and myself went to the west of Tulsa on HWY 412 toward Stillwater, OK where things were expected to blow up. Once we got there things erupted fast as we ran into a large wall cloud with circulation. We punched through the storm to get on the safe side for chasing and followed it back to Tulsa where it appears we accidentally caught a brief funnel (unconfirmed, around 4 minutes into the video) along with some wicked looking cloud structures.

UFO's and Car Crashes

So my mom calls me at about 12:30 am to tell me a UFO was after her, she felt the earth rumble, she saw lights flashing, she was able to see through the walls and roof of the house for a moment and she could feel the aliens drawing her to go outside but she resisted. The UFO also caused the clock to flash 12.

This morning I stepped outside and noticed a slight problem with the power pole, namely it's hanging by the wires, surely this must have been caused by the UFO that was coming to kidnap her. From the looks of it the UFO must have made a crash landing since it obviously used it's tires to skid for 100 yards or so (made a good distance past the pole it snapped in two). Since I couldn't find a disc shaped object at the end of the tire tracks I must assume the men in black came and took it away before daylight. This explains why I... more »

As many of you have probably heard by now, Cosmos is coming back to television.  FOX has just announced that, sometime in 2014, Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, will hit the airwaves.  This time, the series will be hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, working with original creators Ann Druyan and Steven Soter with Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame producing.  While MacFarlane may seem like an odd fit, he is actually a personal friend of Ann Druyan, a childhood fan of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, and an advocate of space travel.  He also personally provided the funding to have 800 boxes of Sagan's notes and letters preserved in the Library of Congress.  It was through MacFarlane's clout with FOX Network that Druyan was able to meet the network heads and get the series approved.

The aim of the show, much like the original series, will be to introduce a general audience to the wonders ofscie... more »

Missing Jenks, OK Girl!

Sharing this here to spread the word in the G+ community!

Details provided by Sean Morris:

Her name is Aspen Fitch, she is 12 years old, approximately 115 pounds, has green eyes, brown hair, and has braces. She is a sweetheart and has NO reason to run away. Her friends are all at school (Jenks) and don't know anything of her whereabouts. One of them said that sometimes she goes skateboarding around the neighborhood at night when she can't sleep. This was unknown to her mother or any other adult in her life and is obviously a very scary thought under the circumstances. She was in her bedroom at 10:30 P.M. on Sunday 5/5/13 but nowhere to be the next morning at 6:20 A.M.. 

The police are aware and an Amber alert has not been issued because there is no way to know if she has been abducted.

The TARDIS Swimming Pool

Got a shot of this from the coming attraction for next weeks episode. Was it everything you hoped it would be?

I just noticed it looks like someone is using it due to the ripples near the ladder and towel hanging.

Ingress Playing Hazard

I was out playing Ingress at one of my portals in Washington Irving park earlier and got swarmed by thousands of bees. I stayed calm so fortunately I wasn't stung. The city arrived on the scene very fast and took out the hives on the amphitheater house but we found about 5 more nests in the trees. It looks like they will be calling in the professional bee rounders or whatever you call them.
