I ordered some of the Texas Instruments value line microprocessors today, like most geeks on the internet I saw them yesterday on Hackaday and was interested. Unfortunately so was everyone else and the servers where unable to take it. Relying on the short attention span of other geeks I waited until today and was able to successfully place my order. Below are some links for my own reference when the darn things show up.

I am an Amazon Associate
So I took the plunge and am now an Amazon Associate. In the interest of full disclosure, when I post a link to Amazon it will be with an affiliate link embedded. This is advertising, plain and simple and I should you follow that link and make a purchase I receive compensation for those purchases.
Why am I disclosing this? Well the answer is really kind of clear, the FTC decided that failure to disclose the incentives you receive for "word of mouth" marketing is an actionable offense. My traffic is really low, but I don't want to find out how actionable it is.

Rooting Android Sprint HTC Hero
Oh shiny toys! I have seriously been jonesing for the Android 2.1 rom for Sprint's HTC Hero to drop, only to be disappointed a couple of times. Up until now I had not considered rooting my phone, but some of the Lag issues and multi-tasking bog down was getting to me.
I read that Damagecontrol had dropped 2.1 for some of the older models so I went looking and found this androidpolice article about updating his phone. I followed the links that where in his article and am no rocking the DamageControlv2.07.2 rom without a hitch thus far.
The first step is to root the phone follow the instructions they are very clear.
The next step is to backup, androidpolice article worked very well for my Hero.
Finally get the Rom you want to install, DamageControlv2.07.2 link from xda-develop forum, copy that zip folder onto the sd card of your Hero, fire up Clockwork again and choose to restore from the Rom you just copied to your sd card and about 15ish minutes later, you get to setup your phone just like its new.
I would just link to the Androidpolice article and call it good, but the last step wasn't specifically written out anywhere, and I didn't know that the Rom needed to stay zipped to restore it.
