Use your Amazon Kindle Keyboard to find directions

By
By using your Amazon Kindle Keyboard experimental web browser, http://maps.google.com/m/directions looks great on the e-ink display of Kindle. Type in your "From" and "To" and Google will return you with the directions in text. With the light weight of your Kindle, it just feel like you are carrying a piece of the printed directions on paper.

After more than year using the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I have notice that the battery life seems to be deteriorating. The phone shut down at around 20% of battery level. I was thinking of buying a new battery but I remember I read somewhere on the internet that the battery can be recalibrated to restore the correct reading. That would be the first thing I should do before I decided to get a new battery.

How to import Tasker projects, profiles, tasks and scenes

Tasker is a very powerful Android smartphone automation application. Although Tasker can practically do anything you want, you still have to learn how to create the automation. I know many of you out there are just plain lazy or no time to pick up the skill. Many had relied on Tasker users shared automation projects, profiles, tasks or scenes to quickly kick start your automation without hassle. I am sharing most of my Tasker automations in this blog for the benefit of the lazy Tasker people (no offence, i am one of them too).

The Tasker automations that i am sharing in this blog are just the exported xml files. Most probably i will not be writing the "step through" like some other websites did but you can download and import the xml files using Tasker. It's easy enough. You can tweak my automation to suite your need.

This post will show you how to import Tasker automation xml files into your Tasker application.

A Better SKMEI 1358 Instructions Manual

This SKMEI 1358 digital watch is a great watch for a really cheap price. However, the instructions manual is far from good. It took me some time to explore some of the functions and at the same time trying to understand the instructions manual provided by SKMEI. I decided to write an alternative instructions manual for this watch so that other owners of this watch might benefit from it. But never the less, I am not a good English language writer myself. But I do think it is still better than the instructions manual provided. Feel free to correct me using the comment section.
