Pet Project #1

I talked to some of the tinkerers at work today.  These are guys who like to tinker at home on personal projects.  I asked them for project ideas to help improve my programming.  One of them said, "Just write something!  Anything!  How about something to track your baby's weight and growth?"

I said: "Isn't that what excel is for??"

He said: "That's not the point!  The point is to write something YOURSELF, so you can get practice."

Me: "Oh.... I get it..."

So today I downloaded the Java programming language, the Android SDK, and Eclipse IDE.  My first pet project is to make some type of simple Android App.  I don't care if it's already been made!  My goal is to get practice!

My only comment is: Man!  The Android SDK is HUGE!
