Bionic's finally get Ice Cream Sandwich

Finally the ICS (Android 4.0) gets pushed out to the Motorola Droid Bionic.  One of the first great new features I noticed was the ability to disable bloatware.  In fact, you can even uninstall some of it now (Blockbuster for instance).  That you can't remove can at least be disabled which removes it from everything so you can't see it, it does not upgrade, and it is not offered as an app to launch for shortcuts.  Very nice.  Next best thing to just a complete uninstall.  It now acts totally different in the lapdock. It no longer uses the internal lapdock browser at all.   It just launches webtop.  The webtop is nice though and now Firefox and Chrome run on the Bionic.

Weather station up and running

I finally got the weather station up and running in my new place.  My temperature/humidity sensor was bad so I replaced it.  I also set up all the websites like I had before.  Here is the page ( http://jimroal.com/wxdata.htm ) where you will also find links to the other pages where I push data.
