And now for something completely different:
So, when I go backpacking overseas, I used to take a solar powered radio with me, just for emergencies. Only time I've ever used it was in Orissa in India, and that was because I had hired a car and my driver didn't have a radio, and we wanted to get Bollywood music while we drove around. It was pretty fun.
Anyway, I now have a tablet and a smartphone and a bunch of other high tech devices, and I don't really want to bring the radio when I go to Asia in a month because I'm bringing all these new things.
However, neither my phone (Nexus 5) or my tablet (Nexus 7) have FM chips in them or whatever you need to get local radio stations.
So, here's the question.
Is there a little dongle or something that I can plug into my phone/tablets USB port that will let it get local FM radio stations the way that a phone with FM support would be able to do?

If it was up to me, people would be excused from school and work on their birthdays.

If it was up to me, adults wouldn't be compelled to celebrate their own birthdays or birthdays of other adults...

I know there was some stuff mentioned about various phones. What are people's thoughts on the LG G3? Have yall heard good/bad things about it? From what I've read, there are some concerns about battery life, but I don't really use my phone enough to really be concerned about it. That and I'm planning on rooting + installing another OS there without all that LG bloatware(CloudyG3 or Cyanogen nightlies for it.) The phone looks pretty solid, and prices are dropping with the release of the new phones(samsung s6, iphone6s, htc one m9, etc)
Also happy bday train. Happy Birthday sunaj!

Note, the class is ONLY B&W photography, and the parameters of the assignment were somewhat restrictive. I chose flickr because why not. The images are a bit darker here than in photoshop, so I'm, not too happy but meh. Which one do you guys think is the best one? https://www.flickr.com/photos/131419851@N06/with/16914591806/ The water bottle one is probably the best because that's the only one with good contrast in lighting that uses the medium well and doesn't just have crazy crushed black for no reason (watch, cards, headset) The power of doing digital BW comes from getting very clean contrast lines due to how digital looks (also because most film scans use high grain film scanned at low DPI), but for scenes without a lot of natural contrast it comes out really awkward in part due to how the bayer interpolation makes individual color luminosities different than the direct light reading you would get using pure silver grain. There's a lot more of my hand (and indeed more highlights as well) in both the cards and watch shots in the files I have, I dunno why it's so much darker on flickr, but I see your point nonetheless. The differences between film and digital are a bit above my amateur level, hah. I still appreciate the insight however, as I'm interested in learning those sorts of things.
You can browse 500px and smugmug to get inspired, or search flickr (fluidr.com is the better way to browse flickr) for Ilford Pan F 50, Kodak T-Max 100, or Agfa APX 25 which have very fine grain and will look similar to low ISO digital BW.
