I decided that I wanted to see the whole android app publishing process. So I made a very simple app called ‘Risk Battle Simulation’. What it basically does is make it simpler to roll risk dice. You can view the app here.

I realized that I never made a post about this so I figured that I should. This year at the Los Angeles robotics regional I won the Los Angeles “Dean’s List Finalist” award. It is the only award that FIRST robotics awards to individual students. Find out more about the award here.

Also, I got a nexus one.

As part of my summer internship I was given a G1 phone for the summer. Also, I recently was invited to the google voice beta. Naturally I wanted to use google voice on my G1 and thankfully google recently released a G1 app for voice. This guide will walk you through the setup process for a normal google voice user and will also walk you through setting up your phone to use google voice for voicemail only.

1) Go to the android marketplace and search for “google voice”

2) After the app installs follow the on screen instructions until you reach this screen:

At this screen, pick the 1st option if you want to use your google voice number as your main number, and pick the other options if you want to keep your current number as your phone number.

3) If you picked the first option in the last step then congratulations, your google voice account is now setup and will act as your voicemail box (go to step 8). If you want to keep your current number as your main number read below.

4) Go to the home screen on your android phone.

5) Hit menu the settings, then go to call settings, the go to call forwarding.

6) In call forwarding you are going to need to change the bottom 3 settings, when you click them you will see something like VM: +1##########, you want to change all of the #’s to your google voice number.

7) Go to the google voice website and then go to settings, then enable the “do not disturb” setting.

8) Enjoy google voice.

PS: If you do not yet have google voice go to http://www.google.com/voice to request and invite.
