I liked the mix of patterns.

Once the day is up, the design is retired to the graveyard and the shirts are printed. I ordered the Tron shirt “Light Cycle Accident” which was designed by Nathan W. Pyle.

Some of the features of Home++ are:

  • Power Strip: this is a small scrollable strip of commonly used applications such as the Contacts and Browser. It can be seen at the bottom of the screenshot.
  • Bookmarks: quick, easy access to bookmarks without having to load the Browser first.
  • Additional Workspaces: up to seven workspace screens instead of Android’s default of three.
  • Tasks List: see running tasks and terminate multiple processes at once.
  • Screenshots: take screenshots using the physical Camera button.

The screenshot below is of my default home screen. This includes the Flip Date and Flip Time widgets at the top, commonly used application icons in the middle, and the Home++ Power Strip on the bottom.

Rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina has been an extremely slow effort in many areas of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
