This project was born of frustration with my health insurer’s “search for a doctor” function, which… Continue reading Background Check Your Doctor: Try This Health Care Provider Review Aggregator

This involved 7 hours, 3 different tutorials (including 2 ones on video!) and at least 10 distinct errors requiring a stop-and-Google. At four in the morning I got the emulator to launch the example… Continue reading AndEngine Installation: Lessons from Last Night’s Tweets
