truth on hold Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) So every morning for last week when I get up well before sunset been curious about 2 bright stars in the sky, one of them probably the largest celestial body I've seen other than sun and moon. Turns out there's a category of apps that automatically maps the stars for you. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/29/technology/personaltech/29smart.html I downloaded the free version of "night sky". Find out its Jupiter and Venus. How cool is this? Be interested what neat apps others finding and using. Edited July 28, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack

truth on hold Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Oh yeah with their resources that's probably even better. Is there a free version? What can you do with it? Yes I could look it up but I find comments from users more relevant than messy ads.

Like breaking it out late at night around a fire while having some cold ones!

Rob's House Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Pointing out constellations is money on a date. MDP should get this app.

Maybe you should use your insane wealth of knowledge to fix your house rather then grooving with planets. Honest to God some times you remind me of a dragnet/Jack Webb 60's portrayal of someone on that new LSD drug.

The light given off by cameras penetrates layers of clothing and with the propper combination of clothing and light you can edit the image to reveal what is under the clothes so long as: There is no bathing suit. The material is fitting. The material is not too dark.

Anytime you want free labor from guys for home repair, mention machinery and beer.
