Next project: Car Touchscreen Jukebox

hmm, the link expired

Oh well, I got an adapter at target for $10, gives just enough current (2A, needs 2.1) for the tablet. I know it's a little low, but it seems to work just fine when I use it

Now I think I just need to mount it and install the software

Sounds like a good project, what kind of car do you drive? I am 15 right now so I am going to buy my car soon so that I can get all the work I need to get done to it so it will be ready when I am 16 and have my license.

Yeah the air of freedom is great, but it's not really fun most of the time.

I've dealt with drunks, people on cell phones, people who cut you off and floor it just so they can make the yellow light a quarter-mile down the road... it's nto fun at all.

But not having to ask my folks to drive me everywhere is great.
