New android app: Three Stars

I've published a new android app called "Three Stars". It's a Shabbat notification service,  where you can set your location and get a notification when Shabbat starts and ends (or Hag).

Android App: Omer Count Widget

I've published my first app a few days ago on the market. It's a simple Omer count widget for your home screen.

Description:
Minimal widget which shows the current counting of the omer. In the upper side it shows the count for today (till sunset) and in the bottom side it - the count tonight.The widget updates every day a few minutes after midnight. It takes 1X1 on your home, minimal and not disturbing.
Please rate and leave comments, in the market or email:

It's time I'll start playing with the android phone I bought (HTC Desire HD).
I've written a few apps, and started publishing them on the market. The first two are targeted for a very specific audience, Jewish-religious android device owners... Still, the first app got 800 installed after two weeks. Not bad for a small audience like this one. I even got a comment for "Rivki", which loved it.

In the next days I will publish two more apps, and I've already started working on the next one, which will be a bigger app, a game. This of course depends on the time I will find for this.

Enjoy!

Lego Ice Cream Machine

Lego has a brilliant kit called Mindstorms NXT. It's a robot with a control unit, rotors and sensors, all can be programmed using a PC.
I myself changed the OS of the control unit, and installed a JVM based OS called leJOS.
Here is one of the first things I've tried, a simple ice cream machine.
