Bitcoin, who doesn't know what Bitcoin is? Bitcoin is like the new, you know, Facebook, Twitter, Bitcoin. It's like the new... It's like the new internet. Meme. Meme or Meme. It's like the new internet. The new internet. Internet 3.0. Yes. Yup. Electronic Cash. So, check out the Bitcoin show. Actually, we do the Bitcoin show every weekday here on OnlyOneTV.com. Every weekday at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. And El Show de Bitcoin in Español every Wednesday. That's weekly at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. So, join us for that. So, today we're going to talk Android. Android operating system, right? Yeah, which is blowing up like crazy. That's why we call it Android Invasion. It's almost as popular as Bitcoin. I think Android is a little more popular now. Hopefully, if Bitcoin gets as popular as Android, I think that'll be a great day. But, you know, they're doing more activations. There's more devices installed with Android than there is on the iPhone. Absolutely. So, you know, I think all they have to do is be Nokia's proprietary OS.  And then, you know, Android will take over. I've heard Nokia has been number one for a long time, but they're actually doing poorly. Yes. And actually, I think there have been more new Android devices sold than iPhones for a long time now. Absolutely, yes. So, it used to be like Steve Jobs or somebody said, you know, well, we still have more devices out there, but he's counting old iPhones. But as far as new devices, by far, Android is... Even old devices, I think, that's been surpassed. I believe if I'm not mistaken and somebody please correct me if I am wrong, that Android has surpassed iPhone in, you know, number of installs, number of devices, number of active devices. So, I think Android officially surpassed iPhone in mostly every way. Pretty much every number you could possibly measure, I guess.  Right, right. But anyway, yeah, so obviously Android has come of age, which is a great thing for Google because Google has created this. Android, what most people don't know, I think probably most Android users don't know, is that Android is based on Linux. Linux is a free open source operating system, and Android is basically a flavor of Linux based on Linux. Yes, it used to be a part of the official fork for Linux, but it didn't last too long. Just because it differs so... The kernel differs very greatly between the stock kernel that runs on your computer or what have you. So it's completely all open source. The only thing that isn't open source is the proprietary Google apps. And the thing that's great about Android is that it allows you to install an open source operating system on your phone without the Google proprietary stuff, if you so chose. So that's completely different than what iPhone does and what most handset manufacturers have done for a long time. So Android is encouraging people to use your hardware, utilize your hardware like you're supposed to use it, and not succumb to carriers or manufacturing telling you how to use the device. Because it is your hardware.  It's basically a handheld computer. But then to be told by these companies, whether it's a cell phone carrier or it's Apple or whatever manufacturer, to say that no, no, no, no, we don't approve of this application. We don't approve of you looking at this or running that. I mean, it's just changing your boot loader. Exactly. That's the thing. So that's why hackers love Android, of course. But I think that mainstream users really love it now because you can do so much more with it. Yeah. And you know what's funny, people will love Android and they haven't even tapped into like 1% of what it's capable. Yeah. So that just, there's so much improvement for Android. And even if you go on the first ever Android device, which was the G1, which I used to own, that has an insane amount of support. So what they effectively done is there's a community, you know, that's still very into the G1, still using it daily. And they basically extended its life. It runs the latest version of Android, which is 2.3, which is officially only on the Nexus S.  Sometimes the G1 will get certain updates, you know, from the hacker community than many other phones will. So that's always been interesting. But the G1, if you still have it, upgrade is so frustratingly slow. I went from the G1 to the G2 and absolutely love the G2. Everybody I've heard who has the G2, it loves it. Yeah, it's an amazing phone. Absolutely amazing. I don't know if you guys could see this, but it has a keyboard, completely touch screen. Oh yeah, you can show it in there. It's a touch screen. Yeah, it has a courting keyboard, full keyboard. And at the time that it came out, stock, that was like the fastest phone on benchmarks, even though it's only clocked at 800 megahertz stock. And all the phones at the time were, you know, like 1 gigahertz or whatever. I actually love the phone. The only thing it doesn't have is HDMI out, which some of the newer phones have. Yeah, not that many, but some do. Yeah, and also they have the new phones that have dual core processors, which is insane, because you have two tiny processors on your phone in a GPU. No wonder, yeah, GPU are great, because they're going to do Bitcoin mining.  Like, yeah, well, you know, it may be, I was joking about maybe the fan isn't working, because they are, they're like super computers. They're just, they're absolutely amazingly powerful computers, and there's no ventilation, there's no fan or anything. It's amazing, they don't all get hot. Yeah, but it's funny that you bring that up, because that makes me remember my friend had one of the first generation smartphones that were coming out, which weren't that smart compared to phones nowadays. Like he's like, hey man, you can hear like the drive totally go, so like you put it to your ear and you can hear like some fans or some hot. A fan? Or a drive? Yeah, this was like years ago. I was still like, maybe a freshman or sophomore in high school. It's amazing, you can hear the memory, hear the processor, whatever like the electricity. It would be either the fan or the hard drive. In a phone? They had a hard drive? Well, they probably had like, it was a big phone. It was a fan. A fan and a phone. It had to be the fan. That's nuts. It was nuts. Yeah, it's like, it's crazy how far they've come so fast. And now, you know, I've been saying, I've been a huge fan. For first of all, people who know me, if you follow me on Twitter, my Twitter name is Bruce Wagner of course, you'll know that I've been a huge fan of open source everything and love Linux. So I mean, we standardize on Ubuntu Linux for all of our desktops. The only time we use Mac or Windows is when we absolutely have no other choice because it's just the only thing that really works well. But aside from that, we pretty much use Ubuntu Linux on everything. So we're super, super pro free open source. And so I loved Android from the beginning because it's based on Linux. And like you said, the whole thing's open source. Oh, speaking of open source though, I read, it's been a while, but I remember reading something about Honeycomb that they had not open sourced it yet. Has that changed? To be completely honest with you, I have no idea about that, but eventually all has to be released open source unless it's proprietary from Google, like Google Maps, Google Goggles, Gmail, what have you. All of that is proprietary, but according if I'm not mistaken once again, it's like an agreement between the companies that sort of like invested in Google, which is from ASAP, the Android, something or have you. They all have to, they all contribute to that code and it's maintained openly. Well now, maybe they have the right to release it later and while they're developing it, they can't release it or something like that. Jimmy McNutty in the chat room says, they have said that they do not plan to open source Honeycomb. That's what I thought I had read, I just didn't know if there's anything new since then, so I don't know how they're getting away with that. I know that when I read a few weeks ago that they were planning to eventually, not anytime soon, merge Honeycomb with the other flavors of Android so that it would be the same Android operating system for phones and tablets, but that's probably not anytime soon. Okay, here's another update from Jimmy. Oh, and first, a qualifier from Rob who says, first rule of life, do not trust any information provided by the chat room. But meanwhile, Jimmy says, they're going to open source the next version, but they said that Honeycomb was focused so much on tablets that they broke some of the basic phone functionality, so I don't know. Yeah, absolutely, that's a problem because people were trying to port over Honeycomb to the phones and they were running into a lot of issues. But I just imagine it's that, it's just some sort of... An intermediary thing. Yeah, it's like a caveat that they have in the contract that allows them while they're developing it probably, you know, not to, or have the choice to open source it or not open source it. Because usually it gets released as ASAP code, which is the open source version of Android. If I'm not mistaken, it either gets released simultaneously with the phone just before the phone or a little bit after. It's usually a little bit after so developers could support the phone early on. So that'll be interesting to see how that works out. Yeah, I hope it stays open source because that's one of the hugest advantages. I doubt that it would ever go closed source. I hope not. Even then, the hacker community is a very resourceful community. So that wouldn't stop them, you know, from running the, or forking over the latest version of the open source Android and just supporting it on future models, you know. So I'm sure that wouldn't be too tough. Cool. One of the things I wanted to talk about today is just kind of our top apps, like the apps that you can't live without. Just to start off, and I think that's a good thing to talk about. And this is real apropos for me because I have the, what is it, Optimus LGM from MetroPCS. I love MetroPCS because it's $50 a month including tax.  So they've gone from the slowest data network. I think the slowest data network in America to the fastest with MetroPCS's new LTE service. I was getting like eight megabytes down, eight megabytes up. It's really, really slick. Megabits. Sorry, megabits. So anyway, this phone is not LTE, but it's like one of their first Android phones. That they've come out with. So that's what I have. And one of the things that happened to me was I kept, you know, you keep getting, this one didn't have quite enough phone memory. So I kept getting memory full on the phone itself and you move all the apps to the SD card and all that.  Okay, okay. And so I kept getting memory full. This is for months and months and months. So I just have to whittle down. Like, okay, if I want to install a new app, I have to delete an old app that I don't use anymore and play that game. And move it as many as I could to the SD card. But eventually I started getting SD card is full. So the SD card is full and the memory is full. And okay, fine, deleted some stuff. But ultimately it started acting up. My Gmail app was not notify me of new mail. And I mean, granted, I had like 42 Gmail accounts or something and tied to it. But it wouldn't notify me of new mail unless I would go in there and hit refresh. And then it would pop in. That won't work because I like, this is my right hand. I have to have notification instantly of an email. So finally I said, okay, I've got to do a master reset. I got to wipe the whole thing out. And luckily with the good thing is that with the Android operating system tied to Gmail and your Google account, all of the data is backed up. All the contacts and everything are backed up. I'm not a big fan of that, but it is useful. And then now there's like no way to back out of it. So I just keep on using it. Yeah. I mean, I'm hoping that because it is open source that one day they'll be able to, you better select your cloud that you want to sync to. They are working on that. I do not remember the project's name, but there is another project that's not cyanogen mod that they are working on a way to have no Google code running on the phone. This means no Google Maps, no Gmail, nothing of that nature. And it's very interesting to see that effort go on because I think in the future there might be a lot of people more interested in that, especially since a couple years ago there was documents released that AT&T was snooping and supposedly some branches of government could listen in onto cell phone devices. Yeah, back doors and things. Yeah, so it'll be interesting once that happens because you would know exactly what code is being run on there and what its function and purpose is. So that'll be interesting to see how that pans out in the future. Wow, yeah, you heard that.  It might have been, he's a very big Linux guy, but he finally disclosed how he set up his Android phone and he uses that project. He doesn't use anything Google related. We have to get him on as a guest to find out his name. I'm going to dig that up. So I wanted to talk about after I did the Master Reset. So just so you know, many is real tech geek guy and I'm not, I'm like the basic user so I just kind of use it for personal productivity. So he's going to talk about a lot more technical level and I'm going to talk more of it as a basic user. And here's one of the most interesting features of the Android phone and that is the battery. As you can see, my battery just died. So this is a problem. Now one thing you can do though, this is a tip from Dr. Frugal, the Frugal show here on OnlyOneTV, is you can actually go to eBay and I'm sure probably a lot of people have figured this out by now. Amazon, eBay, whatever and buy extra batteries. And so that's what I used to do. You know, I've gone through phases with the phone. So what I used to do is, and it also has a feature, you can actually take the battery out and put another one on. This is, Apple hasn't thought of this yet. It's very innovative. You can actually change the battery. So anyway, you don't have to actually throw the whole thing in the recycle bin, you know, which is really great for the planet. I mean, I know that on Apple iPhones you can send it in to have them replace the battery, but it costs the same as a new phone with a contract. It's ludicrous. It's so crazy. So anyway, it's just a gimmick to get you to buy another phone, obviously. Well, anyway, with the Android phones I've never heard of one that you couldn't change the battery on. And so what I used to do, he would find these new batteries and they're probably made in the same plant as the manufacturer's batteries. I doubt it because I have a story about those batteries. I bought one for my G1, super extended one and turned my G1 literally into a brick and after a while of heavy use I completely fried the battery and it overheated so bad that I thought it was going to explode. Wow. Okay, so one thing is you got... It was an $18 battery, so... Well, the ones that I bought were four. $4.95. $4.95 and I bought three of them. And actually it was like $4.95 for the battery or $9.95 for the battery with a battery-only charger. So I could keep one battery-only charger in the wall and actually I bought like three batteries and a battery-only charger. So I'd always have one in the charger and two fresh batteries in my pocket, one in the phone. So I had to keep the fully charged batteries in my left pocket, the dead batteries in my right pocket, and I was never without juice. The problem with that and the reason I haven't done it with this is that I'm not that committed to this phone because I know I'm going to get a new phone. So I don't want to go and buy a whole bunch of batteries for this phone when I know I'm going to get a new one next month. So now my next plan is to actually have two phones. Instead of having an extra battery, now see they've got the standard charger with the USB charger. They all use the same charger. So now instead of batteries in my left and right pocket, I'm going to have phones in my left and right pocket. And this is where the Google Sync actually comes in handy because I can have the same email, the same text message, everything on both phones. What would be the advantage of that versus two... Versus two batteries?  But the other thing is that I can literally just plug it into the charger and then put the other one on. And the other, there's a couple advantages. One is you can have... I need a G2, I'm sorry. It has a battery hinge thing. I just push this and then... Yeah, that's what they need.  That's one of the features I always look at when I buy a new phone is how easy... One of the first things I look at is how easy is it to get out the battery cover off and how easy is it to pop it out? You know how they have those...  That's what I want. The phone manufacturers are watching this. They want you to make a battery that I can slide into a little slot and I just push it and it pops out and push another one in. That's what I want. I want easy to use, changing of the battery. That's one of the features I look for. But in the meantime, I'm not committed to this phone. I'm not going to keep it that long because the phones are just disposable. There's going to be a phone of the month club. That's another story. But what I'm doing now is... One of the huge advantages to doing it this way is I can have one on Verizon and one on Metro PCS. I don't have a signal on Verizon. I can use Metro PCS and so on like that. You might want to try these Verizon Metro PCS and Sprint RO CDMA. So maybe you should get like a T-Mobile or a simple mobile and then have a GSM phone and a CDMA phone. Because I'm sure the CDMA coverage is the same. No, it's not. Because like in my building where I live, once you get up past the 40th floor, Verizon doesn't work. But Metro PCS does go figure. In Manhattan, I get a better signal in most places with Metro PCS than with Verizon. Wow. Yeah, I mean it's amazing. And it's like, you know, 50 bucks a month including tax and everything. Yeah. No contract. I'm committed to my phone, my G2. So that kind of limits where I could go. I did have a T-Mobile's FlexPig. But then they started throttling. So after five gigs, it would get throttled to basically 56k speeds where I maxed out at like three and a half kilobytes a second, which is painstakingly slow. So I used to tag there and do a lot of stuff like that. One night, I think I literally did like over 1820 gigs, you know, just download stuff from Usenet off of my phone.  So now I'm on Simple Mobile, 60 bucks a month instead of 90 bucks a month. And it's unlimited everything where after five gigs it gets throttled anyway. Oh, they're throttling you too on that now? Yeah. It's throttled because Simple Mobile is like a subsidiary of T-Mobile. It's just a rebranded T-Mobile that's cheaper. Reseller kind of thing, yeah. I wonder if there are any companies that, you know, if there are any companies out there that have really, truly unlimited, not unlimited up to a certain limit, you know, this non-sense marketing. What is that? Yeah, because it's not only it is unlimited, but at three and a half kilobytes a second. Oh, super fast speeds until we, it's like super fast speed until it's not. It's unlimited until you reach the limit. Like what is that? That's like, it's called false advertising. You know, last time I checked, it's like crazy. It's like if you buy a car and then if you drive over a hundred miles in one month, after a hundred miles you can only go 20 miles per hour. Right. That's what it feels like. I want to go back to... Or rent a car with unlimited mileage as long as you go less than 10 miles. Yeah. What is that? You know, it's so crazy. It's really dumb. But, you know, it makes sense from a profit perspective. Oh, well, yeah, of course. That's just like, you know, Apple is a genius when it comes to their finances. Yeah, well, they're marketing gurus. They wrote the book on selling inferior products at a premium. That's right. I give them props for that. Yes. That's true. So, you know, maybe if you're smart, buy Apple stock, but not their products. Whatever. Anyway, but the thing is, so I'm going to have to go because my battery died. It's so funny because we were talking about that right before the show.  Everybody who has an Android phone, everybody who has any kind of smartphone has a low battery problem. Yeah. And I think we should mitigate that. And I think we should like dedicate a show to that in the future. Yeah. Just tips and tricks for maximizing battery life. Right.  Everybody. So, yeah, there's a lot of misconceptions out there. And it'll be just, it'll be nice to do, you know, sort of an episode on that. Definitely. We'll do that. And especially about the task killers and all that. Yeah, I know. We know there's a lot of misconceptions about that. So we'll dedicate a whole episode to that. So I'm going to have to go by memory to my favorite apps. So this will be a testament to how important they are to me that I can remember them. So if, you know, I'll go first and say, when I reinstalled, you know, I actually did a master reset and all that. I set it up right after I changed my wallpaper. The apps that I decided to install are Google Voice. It's absolutely essential. I mean, if you don't have, if you have a Google account or, if you don't have a Google account or Gmail account, just get one. It's free.  It's the most brilliant thing. It's amazing. It's a phone number that's free and it's a phone number that won't change. You can, you can be like me and have two different phones on two different carriers or you can change carriers every Tuesday and your phone number never ever changes. Yeah. I use Google Voice when I want to post up on Craigslist. Because I could just set, when somebody calls me from Google Voice, it shows Google Voice on my phone. I was like, okay, it's Google Voice. I posted something recently on Craigslist. Let me pick this up. Yeah. And that's how I usually go about it where, you know, because you could sort of control if you get notified right away on your phone and stuff like that. Right. A lot of people do. A lot of people get into Google Voice by using it as an alternate number for their business, their side business. Oh, absolutely. But for me, I did that for a little while. But then I realized that, no, all of our numbers are only Google Voice. I never, I don't even know my own numbers. I'm sure I have a Dr. Frugal approved tip. Yeah. What I would do with T-Mobile FlexPay, whichever, you know, which one, they discontinued one of the prepaid services. But my phone would cut out because, you know, I forget to go pay it or whatever because I don't want a contract. Mm-hmm. And I would still have data. So using the data, I could use Google Voice for text messages. Right. So I would still be able to communicate at least somewhere, a little bit. Yeah. Even in those times. So I'm sure there has to be a plan out there somewhere that does, you know, just data. Just data. You could do, you could, it's, we could delve even deeper to that where you could just get a SIP service on your phone and then route that to your Google Voice. Absolutely. And then you have just data and, you know, you have a phone basically. Or Skype. You know, a lot of times Skype is in bed with the carrier and they block Skype from being used unless it's on Wi-Fi and things like that. Yeah. Anyway. But yeah, there are lots of ways to get around if you don't. It's a mini computer. I know. And now. The younger generations are really not talking on the phone. They're not even using it. It's funny that we still call it a phone because most people don't even talk on it. They just text, text it. It's a computer.  We really need a new name for it. Google Voice, okay now. So when you go into the Android Market, there's an app for Google Voice. So it's just Google Voice. Make sure it's published by Google and it's spelled right. It's not, you know, some other app. But Google Voice app is brilliant because it notifies you of any incoming text messages, missed calls. It just gives you all the functionality of Google Voice. Then there's like a shortcut that you could add on your Android desktop and it lets you pick, you know, use Google Voice for all my calls, only international calls. Don't use it at all or ask me every time I call. Exactly. And I'll be handy too when I want to call somebody from my Google Voice, you know. I could set it so it always asks me and when I know I'm not going to use it in the future, I set it off. Right. And of course, like I said, since we only use Google Voice, I have it set for all calls. And so it's brilliant. We used it when we went to Spain. We'd make phone calls and it's two cents a minute. And, you know, you could just be with a laptop at a Wi-Fi and just literally through Gmail, you could make calls from Spain to Spain, you know, and two cents a minute. You know, even outside of the US. Yeah. It's really brilliant. It's free within, I think, all the calls in the US and Canada are free. It's so slick. And Google Voice does things that I've never seen anything else do well. And that is, like when someone leaves a voicemail, it'll actually transcribe the message. When you play it, it actually does like the bouncing ball. It plays along with the words. And you can have it come in as a text message, as an email. I get that all the time. That's very handy. I love that. I love it. You know what would be the deadliest combination? You could get the Magic Box, which is like a $40 little USB key that's basically, it provides you with SIP service, right? Unlimited for like $20 for, you know, like $5 a year or $20 a year. Something crazy like that, right? Yeah. Are you talking about Magic Jack? Magic Jack. Oh, I have those. Magic Jack. Yeah. There used to be a way. I don't know if there still is. It'd be awesome if you could. You could reverse engineer the Magic Jack so you get the SIP number. And then you could program that SIP number into here. Oh, no. I'm way ahead of you. I'm going to have to tell you about that. Oh, yeah. I have a whole drawer full of Magic Jacks. And they're really good for call forwarding. Yeah. We have this new thing. We call it the Bridget. All it is, it's a SIP adapter. And it's got two lines. It's so simple. We'll do a tutorial video on how to do this. But basically you get free phone service. Each box, it costs $34.95, something like $35. You order it online. And then it's a SIP adapter. You program it with a little web browser. Super simple. Like a little router. And it's got two regular phone jacks. And so you can actually have his and hers or business or personal or you can have two lines with one box, have two boxes and have four lines, have three boxes of six lines. You can run a business on it. And what's really cool because it's Google Voice, it's every call. Well, okay. So you have to have the box. Then you have to have this other thing called SIP gate. Just Google the word SIP gate. Yeah. And it gives you a free USA phone number for and it's free for incoming calls. It's like, I don't know, a couple of pennies a minute outgoing, but we never use it for outgoing. We never put any money. We only use it for incoming. And as you know with Google Voice, when you make a call from your browser, it makes an incoming call. So it calls that USA number. It calls the SIP box. So what we do from the phone or from the computer or the laptop, we just hit call on the person's name. And then the phone, the landline, like the landline voiceover IP thing rings. You answer it and then it's ringing. So that's how it works. So we've had free phone service for, I don't know, how long, like a year. And so we have two lines at home. One for him, one for me. And it's so simple. So all incoming calls come in that way, of course. And all outgoing calls, you just have to go to the computer or the regular phone and hit the app and then dial. We have to look up the number anyway. And you hit call and boom, the phone rings and you're calling. I'm going to figure out a way if there's a way to do something similar on Android. I'm sure there is. And by the way, the drawback to the Magic Jack is that it's a Windows only USB. Oh no. We don't want Windows. No, no, no.  Not only, even if you do have Windows, you have to leave it on. If Windows doesn't update overnight, you have no phone. That's why people were trying to reverse engineer the SIP number so you wouldn't have to have it connected all the time. Exactly, yeah. So that's a big drawback. Okay, so Google Voice, that's my first app. And let's see. Well, why don't you give us your first one and then we'll go. That's a good question. I don't know which one I want to go over first. Let me jump to the second one while you think about it. Yeah. How's that? And I'll look at my phone. My second one is actually the first app that I ever purchased. Oh, I got a couple, yeah. Okay. My first app that I ever purchased because... I'll do that one first. The first one I ever purchased. Okay. I figured that. Yeah, because actually it's the only one I've ever purchased, I think. I've never purchased an app except this one. And I just loved it so much. I wanted to support the guy. So basically I just thought of it as a donation. It's in the Android market and it's called Tape Machine. It's all one word, put together. Tape Machine. And they have a Tape Machine free, which is actually perfectly good enough for me. But it has a one minute recording limit on WAVE files or whatever. And then Tape Machine, the full version is, I don't know, like $3.99 or something like that. And I actually purchased it and then I got a new phone and I purchased it again. I just kept purchasing it because I really support what the guy's doing. So you just have to buy it once? Yeah, you can. You can have him transfer it and stuff. But I was like, give him another $4. I was like, you know, I really appreciate the guy. So to me it's a gift. It's a thank you gift. So because, you know, I could have gotten by with the free version, but what's really cool. Now, and actually what's also really cool is that he's now, the new version has a widget. So you can put this widget right on the screen and it just takes two little icon spots, right? And it's got a record and play. And here's what I do with it, okay? I've always wanted, I've used these things like slide dial. I don't know if you've ever seen slide dial. S-L-Y-D-I-A-L, you can Google that. It's a really cool service to leave a voicemail for somebody without ringing their phone. I've used that, but it doesn't always, it works, but it doesn't always work. And it's okay. And you have to actually call the person. But this is better. I can send a voicemail to absolutely anybody even when I'm on an airplane, when I have no service, when I'm on the subway, there's absolutely no signal. Here's what I do. I just hit the, on the widget. I don't even have to open the app. I just hit the widget and say, hey Josh, how's the comedy sketch coming? Did you hook up with Dorothy and are you shooting in studio one Thursday or something? And I just hit stop. And then I, then I hit the share button and then type in J-O-S, boom, send. And it just sent it out through Gmail. So what it, and even if I haven't, if I'm not online, of course it's the Gmail email app now. It's sending this wave file, which is like lossless audio. It's unbelievable. They hear it. They're like, whoa, it's so crystal clear. And they will receive an email with the audio file.  And it's cool because I love being able to say something verbally because you can just say it so much faster and so much better.  I even do it with family. I even do it with family. I record a big, long message. Hey, I just want to say hey to everybody. Happy Thanksgiving, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then hit go. And then I send it to my whole entire family. One little voice message. It's really cool. The first app I ever purchased was titanium backup, which you would love because in the situation that you had, instead of writing every app down and having to re-download it, get your settings again and everything, what titanium backup does is it allows you to back up apps individually, even system apps and settings. So you could back up your contact list. You could back up SMSs.  APN is like the settings that it uses to connect to the mobile service, to like T-Mobile or Simple Mobile or Metro PCS. It's so how it knows like where to connect. So titanium backup does a really good job. And then it has other crazy features. Like it could remove G2 if you don't like root it and do other stuff to it. It has like the security feature where certain apps are persistent, even if you can't delete them. So this allows you a way to truly delete stuff like that. You can schedule back your backups. Yes, this is a root-only app. You have to be rooted, but it's so worth it because you could change, especially if you change ROMs on a consistent basis or even once in the blue moon. It makes it so easy just to be able to like, okay, I use this app a lot. I want to keep this, back all this stuff up. And then, you know, when I reinstall that ROM or do whatever I have to do, it loads everything with the same settings as if I never deleted it.  That's the thing. We're going to have to definitely do a whole episode about how to root your phone. We'll do it live with no preparation. Live television. That'll be a disaster, but we'll try it. Every, isn't it true about rooting that every phone is different? Some models it's easy, some models it's a pain. Absolutely. Like the G1, which I think it just got retired as a developer phone recently, was like completely, like so easy.  Well, Google gave instructions on how to do that, right? Yeah, for the developer phone, I think it came rooted or something crazy like that. Like a button. Root, unroot. Actually, there's an app like that that does, you actually root, unroot. Yeah, for some phones, they do have one click root as they call it. Other phones, it's more complicated. AT&T was like really bad where they prevent, they only allowed you to install applications from the Android market. So, you couldn't install stuff that wasn't available on the Android market, which there's a lot of apps like that, like titanium backup at the time, the guy, he's in Italy or somewhere in Europe, and he couldn't have it on the Android market. So, you know, I found it through the XDA developer forums and, you know, after a couple email exchanges it was very helpful. I was like, you know what, have to buy this, have to support him. And, you know, he's now on the Android market before you would have to buy it through PayPal. Why would he not be allowed in the Android market? Because there was a lot of issues about if you're in a certain country and the market didn't support paid apps, you couldn't release it. Oh, is it a paid app? Yes, it's a paid app. It was, on the Android market it was like six bucks, four or five bucks. It's worth it whatever amount it is. It sounds well worth it, yeah. But at the time, you know, it was just a donation type of thing. You got to choose, you know, four dollars, six dollars, eight dollars that you could send him. And then eventually they supported his country for paid apps, and now it's a paid app on the Android market, as well as a free app. The free app was always on the market, but it was limited when it was restoring apps it would give you that window, like, to hit OK about the permissions and whatnot. So what it does with the paid version is completely automated. So you just hit restore and it'll go through all 100 apps or X number of apps. It'll install it without any user intervention. Nice. Whereas on the free one, you have to keep a look out for the pop-up, hit OK, yes, install. Little convenience. I did want and it was torture, so I was like... It didn't go through at all, yeah. For 40-something apps, it was absolute torture. So that was the first app that I bought. I've actually bought several. For Android, if I like something, I'll buy it. I won't even try to pirate it or anything like that. What I love about Android is anybody can start writing apps for it.  So I have huge respect for those people. When they write something good, it's only like, what, two, three dollars? That's nothing.  Exactly. They're talking in the forum. They've mentioned Bitcoin a few times because we have the Bitcoin show here and all that. A lot of geeks are all about Bitcoin by this time. And so there's two things about that. One is just a shout out because the Metro PCS dealer where I buy my phones actually accepts Bitcoin. As far as I know, they're the first cell phone dealer as far as I know, first cell phone dealer in the world to accept Bitcoins. And it's a Metro PCS dealer it's technically called Clear Wireless or something, but they don't advertise that way. It's just a Metro PCS dealer and they're in New York City 57th Street between 7th and Broadway and they have another location on 9th Avenue, just a couple doors south of 42nd Street. So if you're interested in contacting them we'll put the link in the show notes or just send us an email at OnlyOneTV and we'll hook you up with them. But they actually sell phones and service and you can pay your monthly bill in Bitcoin which is really cool. They'll do it mail order too because it's prepaid well it's without a contract it's a non-contract service so you can actually call them up on the phone and order the exact device you want they'll activate it that's pretty slick I might have to delve into that in the future Mike and Mark are the proprietors they're brothers and they're awesome guys and they've been into Bitcoin since I told them about it Speaking of Bitcoin I have two Bitcoin apps that I use the first one I think this one is Bitcoin Alert yeah this one is Bitcoin Alert and I don't know if you might be able to show this Bruce on that camera let's see hold on one second it's basically the widget that I'm showing and then you can show a graph of the activity hold on we're just doing some producing magic over here which one is it hold on oh there it is the perils of live TV do you have this camera? okay well let's switch it down there this is the Bitcoin Live is this Mt. Gox Live it's Bitcoin Watch Bitcoin Watch I've talked to these I've talked to these guys because it tells the latest price on Mt. Gox is that right it tells you the latest price of volume of transactions bid and ask it has the lowest ask and the highest bid and then the last price yeah it has that stuff on there there it goes now my phone is off you have to hit the ok button the metal button twice okay there you go there we go here it is cool so it's this widget right here on the top it looks like it takes four icon rows going across it's totally worth the desktop space if you're like me and I'm checking every 15 minutes bid ask volume low high if you actually tap on the widget yeah tap on it nothing's happening what it's you could do a graph I have throttled internet so but you could show a graph and it's going to show you a graph of all the activity in the last 24 hours show price graph hold on it's loading I have crappy this is what I have to do slow internet so it's going to be downloading this for a while I'm sure so the speaking of bitcoin apps our hackathon that we have spawned off from our bitcoin meetup actually created an app that's in the android market now and that's definitely a must have app it's just simply called bitcoin it's got a funny logo with these gold exactly it's just called bitcoin and the publishers bitcoin labs which is their development group is actually bitcoinlabs.com and it's actually the first app that is actually a full blown bitcoin client it's still in alpha so you don't want to put lots of money on it just pocket change to play with it exactly just some pocket change the way that it works is amazing you know Andrew which is one of the people behind that very talented people and they're working on it like their highest priority right now is to improve it and make it more and more stable and deal with some interesting technical problems and they attack them and from our conversations you know it seems like a very efficient way to go about it yeah for sure so that's really cool but you have to have that's one of my must have apps because you just have to have it just for fun if nothing else because you can buy some bitcoins put some bitcoins on it and share whatever pay someone for lunch or whatever the deal maybe the next thing is everyone's cyanogen mod which is like an alternative ROM or firmware or operating system which is all Android all open source Android with none of the proprietary Google stuff but you know it does facilitate the way to use Google apps on there but it has built in these widgets for if you have a LED flash on your camera I have two widgets one says torch and one says bright this particular one the torch is just a regular what you see on cell phones but if I hit the bright it makes a huge difference like even I'm sure you guys could see that it's like ridiculously bright I use this on a daily basis so at night you can literally get in on coming traffic with this it's like super bright and it's freaking awesome so I love that they thought about those little usability things in there so if you haven't it's cyanogen mod it supports almost every Android phone it's pretty amazing they support a crapload of phones and that's one of those you have to root the phone and install this mod this is part of their firmware this is part of cyanogen mod it's not an app or anything there are apps that will turn on your light but not as easy as this these two widgets one for the regular intensity and then one for the super bright one which is awesome I have some apps that I use like religiously there's one called gentle alarm I have a pretty hectic and crazy schedule that I'm still trying to get used to I work apart from this 50 hours a week at least so gentle alarm is pretty cool because it has something called a pre alarm I have a very soft and subtle alarm half hour before so the thinking is if you're in the light phases of sleep it's going to gently wake you up or you're more refreshed more of a natural way of waking up just more awake alert when you wake up in your deep sleep in the REM sleep that's when you wake up all groggy that's the process where you actually feel rejuvenated so I have it set up it's able to set up an infinite I'm guessing arbitrary amount of alarms and then I have a series of alarms set up throughout the week and then it has safe alarms on top of it so it will ring a super loud alarm if you haven't responded to anything in a while and you can set limits on everything in music it's called gentle alarm I'm going to install that I just use a regular alarm people are so used to this going it is absolutely amazing this is gentle alarm it has a little bit of learning curve so you know don't like if you have a super important meeting or job interview the next day and it's one o'clock in the morning when you wake up at 8 don't install this test it out a couple days before make sure you get it working right will it alarm you even if the phone is on silent? absolutely it has settings for all of that and then you have profiles and then you assign profiles to an alarm I have one called rage and that's the one I have an initial alarm where it will play the doors which is one of my favorite bands another one super loud it just plays rage against the machine make sure I'm awake I usually do it like that and on top of it has a safe alarm it can also fade in so you can set a fade time it will start softly and then start getting louder in tone it is awesome and then it has a night display too for the people who are into that kind of thing it's awesome I highly recommend it I purchased it after a couple of days using it it will change your sleeping experience or your waking up experience I say I want to talk about an app that is actually not even an app it's a feature of android and you guys you may already all know about it and this is old hat but just in case you haven't I don't know since they came out pretty much and I just discovered this several months ago but when I discovered it I was like oh my gosh it's just one of those buttons I never pressed but it's really really cool on your home screen if you find a blank spot on your home screen you just hold down your thumb and press and then of course it pops up and it allows you to add a widget and that's how you add widgets and so forth the folders exactly the folders are so cool and not only the folders but what I use it for is really special it's so cool for me I hold it down, create a new folder, blank folder and then you just have an empty folder then you touch the folder and it opens up the folder full screen then at the top it just says folder but you hold down on the word folder and it pops up and it allows you to change the name of the folder so I have a folder called OnlyOneTV I have one called Brunch Club I have one called Family I have one called Sponsors everything and then I have these little folders all over the screen and in them, here's what I do ok so back to your home screen you go to the contact and I'll find Manny Manna and I go to his contact record and then I hit menu and then there's a button that says add contact to home screen so then I just do add contact to home screen and it pops a contact on the home screen there's no room on my home screen it'll put it all the way on the screen on the left which is kind of weird but it doesn't matter once it's there, all I do is drag it over to the right and just keep dragging it screen after screen until I find the folder and drag it right onto that folder and I put the contact record for each person into one of these folders and so like if Manny is in Friends and he's also in OnlyOneTV and he's also in hosts, you know whatever so you can be in multiple folders production and I see all the production people you know it's just a little way to group people for super easy and then when I hit contact now I can decide do I want to email him text him, call him, gtalk him, like every tweet him, whatever of course, yeah, especially if it's urgent you know like do do do do do do machine gun the whole way but it's awesome and I even have contacts for like an email address for Google group so I can hit that, I can hit Google boom and I send an email to that mailing list and the whole you know the whole group gets it, it's just a really super easy way to group people that's what I love, Android has a lot of little tips and tricks like that which we're going to have to cover over the time, another I just have a quick couple of ones that I really wanted to point out very quick Signage in mind comes with ADW launcher which is what's so great about Android is you can change almost every aspect of it ADW is supposed to be a more efficient launcher which is where you hit your menu button or whatever and it has the launcher down there basically I set it up so I have five icons down there, they're my most used apps so I could be on any page in the home screen and I'll have those apps and then on there I'm actually going to go over those apps because they're like I use them all the time there's Opera Mobile which is just an amazing mobile browser, you can have your home screen with favorites in there one is Bitcoin news so I always tap on that so when I'm on the way here the Bitcoin show I could catch up on anything, you could save pages which is great because once I get on the path in New York I have no signal the whole ride and if I don't have a book to read I could just preload pages oh you could save the page offline, the web page yep, I could save it offline and then I load it up later and I could read and this way I'm entertained and I'm not staring at random strangers all day and then another one is Handescent SMS which is like an amazing amazing messaging app, it lets you style it completely it has a lot of different options, it's integrated with some of their services which I don't use I just love how it groups everything and how it just displays all the information, I just love it now when we root Chris's phone are we going to put that mod on it yeah, it's going to be with Cyanogen Mod so once you root it, you have to root it with a modification like that well, the firmware is like the whole operating system package so it's going to come with the launcher, how you can launch apps without a launcher so it's going to come with some preloaded stuff and then you as a user have the flexibility the freedom and the choice to put whatever you want on there and customize it as you choose we're going to work a way to get this on the screen eventually but over here I always have it showing my battery life and percentage, it shows me the time I have a rotary thing over here I set it so that my trackpad unlocks the screen so I don't have to physically move it all the time so I can do one handed operation easily it's just amazing stuff that you could do and how it integrates with everything like you could do the up or down scrolling or the pages scrolling left to right it's just amazing and then even visual effects and stuff like that like I have it set up when I turn it off it does like a TV turning off kind of thing oh yeah, yes which I absolutely love it's so cool that it does that sometimes it's the little things that really make you go overboard and there's another one that maybe it shouldn't be on the list but it's power amp because I actually I haven't upgraded the stereo system in my car yet so I use the cassette to my phone and it's how I listen to my phone and power amp is freaking awesome just how it lets you let's say if you're using navigation at the same time with a stock music player it will not pause it's going to be the music and then the navigation instructions going over the music oh wow it doesn't sound great but this gives you the option to pause it it categorizes everything for you it has like a folder view so like the folder structure is awesome versus you know like a library because I have everything set up in specific folders and whatnot it downloads album art automatically has a built-in equalizer it just does everything that you could possibly ever want in the music app and then when I'm bored I go on reddit is fun which is like reddit's third party it's not the official reddit app it's like supported by reddit officially kind of and it's just amazing I'm on it all the time because we're going to talk about hot topics and reddit is the new dig well reddit it's not new but no it's not new but it's like the new number one yeah oh absolutely it was kind of I guess famous in internet history old dig versus reddit that was always interesting but I've been on reddit for like years and I freaking love reddit reddit is so awesome I know the 4chan people are going to bash it but you know I'm a reddit guy and then another one is set cpu which is important if you're rooted it allows you to underclock and overclock your cpu so I have certain profiles set up where as my battery is draining it's going to underclock the cpu you could even underclock the voltage depending on how your processor is set up in the profiles so I'll use less electricity that way and then another one the last one is acar which I use to track all maintenance on my vehicle when I put in gas when I put in diesel when I do maintenance when I buy parts any expense car washes I could log that all in there it tells me how many miles I've driven it gives me estimates on what I could do on a tank it gives me charts with fluctuating prices of diesel and my miles to the gallon that I'm getting it gives me reminders on services I do most of the work myself on the car so I'll set up a change in this and that so it's a really awesome app it's called acar if you're a car person use acar if you want to find out your mileage or keep track of maintenance acar is the way to do it I think it likes acar that's awesome I want to tell you about one more app and we're really out of time already but I just want to thank our sponsors one more time video marketing

already one minute, but that is it went by so fast we're going to do a whole show on rooting and a whole show on battery life but one last app is seismic I think it's s-e-e-s-m-i-k that's the twitter app I only use it for twitter there's so many things I love about it it just gives you notifications the way you want and it gives tweet longer is built in and so many things I'm going to take your

joining us on android invasion the first episode yeah, let's invade some stuff see you guys next week


Hey Virgo, welcome back to the channel. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. If you're new, please smash that like button and do subscribe if you want to become a member of my channel. There's a link. You can click the link in the description box below or just click the join button. And for those of you who are new to my channel, welcome or welcome back. Let me give you a couple of shout outs here. Neva Knightly, welcome, divinely guided, hello. Rocky Mills, welcome. So awesome to have you guys here. Let me just make sure we got everybody here. Okay. So those are the newest. I hope that I have called all of you. I'm sorry if I haven't, but that looks like the newest people. Okay. So yeah, if I haven't called your name, just leave a comment here and I'll be sure to give you a shout out in the next video. Okay. So personal link for readings is in the description box below. And I'm also going to be starting some tarot classes, you guys. So I did post a poll in the community section. If anyone's interested, go over there and click yes. So I can try and get an idea of who might be interested in some courses. All right, you guys, let's get into this. Palm tree, not today. And photograph. Okay. Let's see. So starting with palm trees, stability, security. This is flexibility. This is all about flexibility, endurance, dealing with some stuff like going with the flow, kind of, you know, like a palm tree in the wind, you know, it doesn't break, it bends and it's better, it's better to bend than to break. Okay. So let's take a look and see what exactly is happening. Now maybe you are someone who's acquainted with palm trees in some way. Okay. So I feel like you're going to need to be very flexible in March. Okay.  There's some options that are showing up here for you Virgo in March. Okay. So with those options, that's why I feel like you might need to just kind of take a look and just be like, hmm, they're saying not to look at like black and white, don't look at like, don't look at everything black and white. There's, there's something showing up here where you're going to need to like see all your other options, see what can be done or somebody else is doing that or someone else is being flexible with you. You know, generally the seven of cups is really just a card of like noncommitment. It can be or someone who's just kind of like, they have a lot of choices and they're just not really sure. So I feel like there's options and choices on the table being presented in March. Okay. And hmm. Okay. Wow. Six of cups. So you may have someone who is kind of showing up in your life coming back around and there may be an offer that's presented and a decision that needs to be made or there's a lot of choices, a lot of options on the table need to figure out what to do. I feel like someone is very sincere here. Someone's showing up here very sincere and honest. A lot of water so far. Okay. So it looks like this could be an emotional option or decisions that are being presented at this time. Let's see. I feel like someone wants to be with you. Okay. Definitely here. We'll find out who that might be. It could even just be a friend kind of thing or a sibling, something related to a sibling or a friend. Okay. Let me see. Ooh, you got the lovers. What? There's a coming together here, Virgo. There's a coming together, making a decision, trying to figure something out. There's love here. Holy, holy. Okay. That is Gemini energy. There's definitely a love connection being made. And I feel like this has to do with a love relationship, of course. There's reconciliation with the Six of Cups or a reunion or someone's just like very nostalgic or, you know, there's sincerity. There's kind of like it. So obviously it's not a love relationship with a sibling. Okay. You weirdo. Let's hopeful. Let's be hopeful that that's not what's going on. I mean, if that's your thing, you know, hey, whatever, we're not getting into that, but there, there's like, I'm not, I don't like, I feel like someone's making a decision about committing, you know, about like the lovers here, about coming into union, about being together. Okay. There may not be like a, okay, this is a definite yes, but there is something like, well, I gotta look at all the options here. I gotta see what's on the table. I gotta, and I gotta be flexible, um, try not to be too hard-nosed about something here, something that needs to be talked about. Obviously this may even be like if, if, if you and another person want to get back together for some of you, that's showing up here. Um, but there's definitely a decision with the lovers.  I don't always know what I'm talking about. Agreed. However, I know what I'm talking about here, and I can tell you what, the love, to be in love should be a decision. They're like, well, you can't help who you fall in love with. Well, yeah, you can. You don't have to fall, you don't have to make a decision to go with someone just because you fall for them. And falling in love can be very dangerous because it means you're absent-minded and you're tripping over yourself.  So, you know, if you have feelings for someone, that does not mean, like I say all the time, just because I have feelings for you doesn't mean we're compatible. Like I say, I love chocolate cake. I have a feel, a strong feel y'all, for chocolate moist chocolate cake with chocolate icing. And just because I like that doesn't mean I need to be indulging in that every day. You know what I'm saying? So, falling in love is for the movies. Let's get our heads straight here, be practical. Yeah, sure, it feels good, but I mean, falling into a batch of alcohol for the night feels good too, but the next day you might be like, I don't know, that might not have been a good decision. So, I just need to put and set that straight. Like I've got rid of that person because I don't need to be here and like this, we're not here to debate, right? If you don't like it, move on. So, this is a decision here. There's a decision on the table with the lovers about coming together, about being together, about taking something like to make a partnership, being deeply in love and making the decision. Love is a verb, making the decision, taking the action to be together, right? Okay. So, this is what's on the table in March. And there's gonna be, there's a requirement for flexibility in regards to this, okay?  It doesn't mean it's a no. It doesn't mean it's a yes. It just means that there's got to be some kind of communication or flexibility or figure things out. You know what I mean? Okay. I think I've said enough. Can we move on, please? All right. Let's see. What else does Virgo need to know? Give Virgo. My hands are sweaty. Probably because I had a rant. I had me a little rant. So, you guys can follow me on Facebook. I have a Facebook page. I started not that long ago, but I haven't really been using it. So, click on my link tree. That'll take you right to it. You can follow me on Instagram as well. Okay. I just saw, I just saw the chariot. Okay. So, but it didn't pop out. But there was, there is an energy of movement and progress. Okay. So, that's a good thing. Okay. So, first court card, Queen of Cups, Cancer Scorpio Pisces. So, when I look at the Queen of Cups, masculine or feminine energy, she's like, of course, looking at her little robot, Rosie the robot. She's looking at a little robot there and like checking her, checking her feelings like, hmm, how do I feel about this? Yeah. There's a, there's a like a big kind of decision or something here that's being made about whether to commit or not. Okay. Somebody wants this. So, that could be your energy Virgo where you're just like, hmm, I'm not sure. Let me just go in the vault. Let me check the emotional files and see how I feel about that. Some of you might be like, oh yeah, you're, you've had your, a lid on your feelings for a while. You haven't want to open up, express. Some of you might be like, do I want to open up to this person? Express how I feel? Let the, let the waters flow or do I want to stay closed off to this? Let me see. Oh my gosh. I mean, holy, like there's so much thinking. There's so much like taking stock and trying to figure out. So, it's either you or somebody else or both. And this is like, hmm, do we want to invest? Do I want to invest in this? Don't want to make something happen here. Maybe looking at the money too. That could be like, you know, there's a financial, so it feels like it's kind of like in a financial decision more so not so much whether somebody loves someone, but more of like, how are we going to do this financially? Okay. So, that's pretty reasonable. I mean, I think that that's like, so do what financially?  You know, I can't afford to pay for dates or something like that. So, I feel like it's like kind of taking a look at the money. It's not necessarily have anything to do with love. I really don't feel like it's a question of love. It feels more like with the Seven of Pentacles, it's a question of the work that needs to be put in or it's all like, it may even be like awaiting energy or delaying things because there needs to be some things need to be examined. Okay. So, let's see. Okay. Five of cups. Hmm. Hmm. Why is this here? Oh, okay. They just said that somebody's taken a look. Okay. If I don't take this, I'm going to regret because I might lose it. If I don't take, so this feels something to do with an opportunity being presented in March and, you know, the window of opportunity eventually closes. So, it's like, okay, if I don't take this opportunity, if I don't, so it's either, it's either, so it's basically like, if I don't, somebody's like, if I don't take the opportunity, I might be really sad or I might regret not taking it. It might be a loss or it might be like I, the person doesn't want to be with me anymore or that's like it's not going to be on the table anymore. This is kind of what I feel like is going on. So, you've got somebody here, you are another person who is really investigating here and really putting some, like taking something seriously. Okay. Somebody's taking something seriously about connecting, being together, whatever it might be. It's like, it's like, kind of like, okay, well, if I decide to do this, not just, it doesn't have to be you. It could be the other person, but like if I decide to do this, I need to figure out first how, what that's going to look like. That's kind of what I'm, that's what I'm feeling, like what that's going to look like. Okay. I need to seek truth to how that's going to, how that's going to fit, how or how we're going to fit together. Right. So, it's a serious, it's being taken seriously because I kind of feel like the love is already there. Do you know what I mean? Like the emotions and the feelings. So, you leave a comment and tell me, like, if this resonates for you, what exactly it is. Okay. Cause there's some unknowns as somebody's not, it's not that they're, somebody's not sure that they love another person. I don't feel like that is the issue. There's a lot of deep emotions for someone that maybe they keep a lid on, but it's like, somebody's like, I need more information. Somebody's seeking more information. Okay. Yeah. To have this beautiful outcome. You know, seeking more information about either creating a family together or like being in a loving, supportive relationship and whatever that might entail. But it's also like the finances too. I feel like somebody might be looking at their bank account or, or two people. Okay. Like how are we going to do this? For some of you, it might just be like bringing your families together. You know, for others, it's, it's like getting into a committed long relationship. Let me see. Is there anything else that Berga needs to know? Okay. She got the devil. There's definitely a desire to not let go. There's definitely attraction between two people with the devil card. This is like a little obsession. Like don't want to be without another person, but there's a lot of things on the table. I feel like that are coming up. And if you get the magician, I'm like, I won't be surprised. Okay. Okay. Oh, all right. Well, there's a six of sorts. So this, for some of you, this could be making some, this is making a transition from one place to the other. For some, this is a necessary transition that like needs to happen in a relationship to move something forward for others. This has to do with relocating, moving so it could be relocating, living together, moving in together, moving away from each other, which yeah, I don't know, someone's really trying to assess this out. So I really feel like the overall message is like, I'm not going to give you an absolute income outcome. But I am going to tell you that the advice here is to be flexible. Try not to worry. I think it's something that needs to be discussed about this reconnection kind of thing. And needs to be like the heart needs to be checked. The money needs to be checked. Everything needs to be checked to be like, you know, can this work? Okay. And I feel like either that's you doing this or the other person or both. Okay. So right now you have not today, not dealing heart, avoiding conversation, call person boundaries, still angry. Okay. What's going on there? There we go. You're not like taking the phone call. Are you not taking a phone call? Okay. So, okay. So there's a king of cups showing up here, or that's your energy showing up here, but there's a king of cups who's kind of like, it looks like is avoiding a conversation, putting up some boundaries may even be angry, not dealing with something. I know it could be avoiding conversation with you or it could be with someone else or you could be avoiding a conversation or with a king of cups, cancer, Scorpio Pisces, but it looks like somebody might be away or not taking some calls. Okay. Pushing back. Okay. So Virgo, if you're calling someone or trying to have a conversation with someone and it's getting like you're being incessantly calling or whichever, this person is like either taking their phone off the hook or they're just letting it ring. They might be pushing back or feeling like you're being clingy. If that's the situation Virgo, reel it in. Reel it in. Go outside and play basketball. Go do something. Reel it in.  You could be defensive or just like, for whatever reason, just kind of like, stay back. Everybody stay back or telling this person to stay back. Okay. So it's one of the other. Now let's see like why. Let's see why. What's going on? Okay. Hmm. Somebody's blocking for sure and somebody's holding on. Okay. Let's see. Somebody's very greedy. Being very greedy. Okay. I can knock it by cards out today. What's going on? That's me. Okay. Somebody's trying to heal from something, Virgo. For sure. Yeah. With the star, they're trying to renew or recharge. So somebody might be like, kind of just pulled their energy back. They're pushing back. It may be just on you or it could be on a bunch of other people because I feel like they're trying to recharge at this time. Like with the star, you know, the star always represents to me like energy and somebody's trying to regain energy. It could be you because we know how Virgo, we know how you do. You're like, you're good for the social interaction, but at some point, some of you, like a ton of it, some of you are minimal with it, but whatever it is, you're like, okay, I've had it. Now I need to like go and, I don't know, go to spa and recharge. So if you're trying to reach out to somebody, Virgo, and they're not responding, it's just because they want some alone time or they're just pushing back or they're not available, whichever it is. I don't know whether that's right or wrong for you. I just know that this is, this is what's happening here, at least what I feel. Okay. Somebody could be traveling. There could be like communication over the internet, the worldwide web is what we like to say, or somebody's like just kind of like leaving everything behind and just moving forward at this time. Could be like I said, traveling, the world is definitely somebody could be in school and they're not available to talk, trying to complete some kind of goal or doing something. Let me take a look here. Now that's Aquarius there. Okay. So for some of you, there could be like a Pisces or Aquarius Pisces cusp that you could have this connection with. It could be you. All right. Oh, there's something here about, okay, for some of you, there's some, somebody's avoiding commitment, they might be, or just avoiding talking about it. For others, there is an energy with the higher fund because that can represent institutions or there might be like conform like an energy of somebody needs to conform. I don't feel like, I don't feel like somebody is like rebelling from conforming. I just feel like, oh, they just said somebody could be in the hospital. Yeah.  So, or somebody gets hurt in March. Okay. The higher fund is also all about boundaries and strict regulation rules in order. And they're just giving me the word routine. Somebody's in some kind of routine. Okay. Let's see. Right. Now, there is an energy here with the asymmetricals in the higher fund that somebody may receive the new job. They're not available. They're working. They started a new job.  There's also an energy of like an opportunity is being presented and somebody's pulling away from that opportunity at this time. Okay. And they're somebody might be trying to sell someone something at this time, but I feel like if you've got somebody here that's not taking your calls or not talking to you in regards to some kind of opportunity and it could have something to do with commitment or marriage, this person is kind of like pulled their energy back. They're not, they just, they're not dealing with it right now in March. Now that could be in the sense of like, because they need to think about it or they could just be not, they don't have it on the top of the priority list right now. Okay. So they're just kind of like, you know, pushing back on whether or not they want to accept the opportunity. Okay. So like I said, that could be a job offer. I don't know that someone is undecided. I just feel like maybe somebody, like it doesn't feel like running away either. It's just like not available at this time. They might be missing the boat, you know, this person might not even realize that this, because that Ace of Pentacles is like, holy, wow, there's like a promotion or investment, new income in terms of relationship, a new opportunity. Okay. Look at that. Three of sorts. Wow. I feel like Virgo to tell you the truth. Like if you, if someone, like you could be the one who's like, now I'm going to have to break somebody's heart. This isn't what I want. Virgo, you might be the one. You could either be presenting in the opportunity or someone's presenting it to you and you're not trying to deal with it or you're not trying to hurt someone's feelings. So you're not answering, but there could just also be like, you might have to tell somebody, no, yeah, I'm not going to be able to do this. Now, somebody could be doing that to you too, Virgo. They might decline an opportunity, a new opportunity that comes in and want to just keep everything to stay the same. Okay. Now, is that related to this? It kind of sounds like it could be, but I feel like it might be a 50-50, but I don't, I wasn't doing an outcome reading to this. Okay. Now somebody could also be, this could be somebody that they're, they have another connection with because a new opportunity with you has sprung up. Yeah. I'm going to say that. I have to say that somebody here could be putting up a boundary or not dealing with someone else. You know? And saying, no, I don't want that. Stay away. Not answering their calls. If there's another person in like, say this King of Cups life, it's very well, they could be like, you know, I just got a new opportunity and I'm sorry. I don't, I have a new option. I don't want to, you know, they might be breaking up with somebody. Now for some of you, that's possible. Okay. So you're just going to have to let that play out.  I wouldn't wish the worst on you ever or anyone, but I think life is life. So it's hard to be very specific and I'm sorry, that's my fault, but I do feel like this might cause a little bit of confusion for you. If you're kind of lost, hey, guess what? Should happens. I do feel like though, there is this energy happening in March also, and it could be related to this where someone might like, you know, how I kind of feel like someone might not be answering a call, you know, like how like a sweepstakes calls and says, Hey, you want a million dollars, but this person is just not available to accept that call.  I don't know, Virgo, if you're offering an opportunity, like something amazing to someone that you think is amazing and they're angry or they're not dealing with, they want to deal with you or they're hurt, or you're trying to apologize to someone because of some kind of breakup and makeup, like it's a breakup makeup kind of thing. I can tell you that I don't think this person is ready to talk just yet in March. And, you know, whatever, they got to do what they got to do. Let's move on to photograph. Okay. Somebody's looking at your photos, Virgo, missing you nostalgic wants to make new memories. Okay. Let's see what's going on. Whoo. I just saw somebody cutting. I don't know who would cut photos because I think photos are just now digital. I don't know if you print photos, somebody's cutting your picture out and hanging it on the wall like a shrine. I don't know. That's weird. Let me get these cards out of the way. Okay. So let's take a look here. Oh, okay. Somebody's stealing. Somebody is stealing. All right. They just said, somebody's stealing your pictures.  I don't know what that means. Okay. I'm just going to say that. I'm put that out there. Maybe you know exactly what that means, but they just said, tell Virgo, someone is stealing their photos. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's see. Tell us more, spirit. Tell Virgo more.  What messages do you have? Oh, okay. I was going to say that right at first, but then I was like, hmm. I also heard that, um, someone's trying to, like somebody's, either you're looking at somebody's photos or they're looking at yours and they're, somebody's trying not to, they're, they're trying to stop. Somebody's trying to stop because it like, I don't know. It's like they're struggling here to struggle in. Now, if somebody's stealing your photos and that's like, you know what that means, I feel like, um, they're hiding them in boxes or hiding them.  I don't know. I'm kind of just getting that kind of gist, but they're kind of doing it behind the scenes. So I really feel like I'm not going to go too deep into that storyline, but I really feel like if that makes sense to you, um, you need to like really check, check and recheck if, if you, you know, or even if you have like photos that are on, like you sell them or there's something digital, make sure you have copyright attached to those in some way. Okay. Um, there's something along those lines. Okay. So back to what I was saying here. So far it feels like there's a, oh gosh, there's a person that is struggling, looking at your pictures. So I don't know if they're like struggling, like it's affecting them mentally. Let me just say that. And they're trying to stop.   They're thinking the worst here. And they're like even sabotaging, you know, themselves. I don't, like, I don't, maybe somebody's in jail. I say it's the weirdest message or somebody's going to jail for getting caught and it's going to have to pay a fine if they get caught. Okay. King of Pentacles, Knight of Pentacles, here's the magician, the four of swords. Okay. This, this, this ish is just the weird, this is weird. Okay. So I really feel like somebody definitely is missing you and it's hard for them to look at your photos with to keep looking at them. They're trying to stop though, because there's something about it. Like, I don't know if they're obsessed or what's going on, but they're, they're like, they're thinking about the past or that it's reminding them of something to do with the past. Okay. So with the Knight of Pentacles, I feel like there's, it could be an earth sign, Virgo Taurus Capricorn. And I feel like this, or Gemini, I feel like this person really wants to make something happen with you, but they're, they're, first of all, they're going really slow. They're like taking their own sweet time to do this. However, the reason why is because they're feeling insecure. They're feeling insecure by what they're seeing. I don't know what that means. What does that mean for you, Virgo? Like, I don't, and I also feel like they're kind of hiding looking at your pictures, right? They're trying to maybe gain some information and they're getting some information.  I don't know. And that, and that could be you, Virgo. You know, it could be you. And they want everything, like they're trying to get everything out on the table to find the truth so they can relax. Okay. There's a chariot. What is going on? Hold on, you guys. Hold on. Spirit's talking to me. Cancer energy right there.  No, wait. Okay. So they just said that. Okay. They just said tracker device. I'm not going into that.  Tracker device.  The tracker device? Like maybe on a vehicle. Okay. For some, definitely let me know what's going on there. But you know, the cancer energy is action and change. Okay. Or the chariot. I mean to say there's a decision. There's, somebody's making a decision here based on like these, like they can't, they're in turmoil. Somebody is in turmoil because they look at your photo or they look at, or they're looking at your photos and they're missing you. They want to make a new memory with you, right? Create new memories. Look, I just noticed this. This looks like like an autographed, like a signature autograph photo. So somebody might be, I know, I don't know. I don't know if you do, do do something or do you sell, do you sell like cards or things that have signatures or autographs on them? Either yours or somebody famous. You might do something like that. And somebody's trying to like, you know, either they want to buy or they don't have enough money or they're going to try and, I don't know how you can steal them. I guess you could like, I don't know how you could do that. There might be an imposter. So I kind of feel like that. Like when I look at the magician here, and I guess they're taking me back to that. When I look at the magician here, this kind of feels like someone's like a little bit of a hustler. You know what I mean? Like Chris Angel kind of stuff, you know, magician. It's entertainment. Like there's something going on here that I feel like you need to be aware of. Okay. Yeah, they're taking me, they're taking me down that maybe that's not going to resonate and that's fine because it's pretty much the end of the reading. Maybe it's not going to resonate for you. If you're thinking of getting into a business where you're signing things or you're selling things that are signed. So make sure something's not like an imposter or fake. You might need like some kind of seal of approval or something. Yeah, but I do feel like there is a little bit of love stuff going on here, like relationship. I do feel like someone does want to manifest something with you based on what they're seeing in your photo, but they're trying to get, I just heard a siren, they're trying to get more information about you. Okay. I don't know if I should feel creeped out or not. I'm not really sure, but there is an energy of kind of doing it in like secret a little bit here. Like no, no, it wasn't me. I've been sleeping. I was taking a nap. That's my alibi. I'm not looking at anything. No, you might have a hunch that somebody is though somehow some way. Okay. They either somebody's looking at something or they're trying to take something. All right. Well, things are going to start moving pretty quickly. Let's take a look and see. Oh yeah. There you go. Oh yeah. There you go. Seven of swords. Listen. I don't know what this situation has to do with, right? I can't pinpoint it. They're saying it's either theft of actual material products or a thief of hearts, but there's a little deception going on here. And it has to do with your photo or your photos. Somebody might be wondering if you, if you're really, if that's really you in your photos, right? Somebody might be trying to get at the truth. Somebody's trying to, there's something here to do with authenticity, photographs, images, truth, sign sealed and delivered, theft, insecurity, and trying to change something here. And it's, it's very, very convoluted. Let me see if I can pick up anything. What else, what else does Virgo need to know here in regards to this? Okay. It's safe to make the move you're considering. Okay, safe. That, that makes me feel like, like a bank. There's an obstacle to abundance. Okay. Yeah, I'm leaving this alone because you know what, you guys? I like, this could be for anybody. This really could be for anybody and you're going to have to let me know. But all I'm, all I really feel like is there's a little bit of deception going on here and someone is like, someone's trying to run away. Someone's trying to take something you know, or try to get some or try to verify something, some truth about something here. Okay. And I don't know if it's related to this that there's a decision they need to make. It could be and it may not be a connection, but it is a connection to you because either there's photographs or pictures that are missing or someone is missing you and they want to have kind of like create something new with you. But there, there's this, this, whoever this person is, they're, they're a freaking mess. They're like super, super confused. Now Virgo, if it's you and you're trying to buy something authentic, but you could very well be like, you know, I don't know if this is the real thing.  Yeah. Yeah, Virgo, this, this probably is the most convoluted message I think I've ever given on my channel here. All I can say is watch out for deception. Watch out for the things that you put out there. Make sure that you've got some kind of seal. Make sure you have some, something notarized or copyright or something that is like authentic that you have, that it's covered either by insurance or something that you're doing, or if you find something like that, you know, same thing. Make sure that whatever you find is like the real deal. Okay. And that you hold on to that. Right. Yeah, that's, that's just so messed up. Okay. I'm going to pull some Chinese. Where's my deck? I'm missing like my entire here it is. I want to pull some Chinese zodiac to see you and another person, you and or them. That's to see you significant in your life at this time. If you don't know your Chinese zodiac, just look it up online. You just have to put in your, your month, day and year of your birth. Okay. So starting with year of the rooster, year of the snake, year of the dragon, double dragon there, year of the horse, year of the dog, year of the goat, year of the tiger, and year of the rat. Okay. So this might be you and them or just you or just them or, and if it's none of you, you don't even sweat it. It doesn't, you know, it doesn't change the reading. Okay. It resonates. It resonates. I just want to get a couple of these Chinese signs here. Oh, all right. Oh, what a way to go. Jealousy. Watch who you trust with your personal secrets and plans. Spend time outdoors with nature to reconnect and replenish. Oh yeah. And I don't know if that's connected to that very last reading I just gave, but I do feel like watch yourself Fergo. Watch what you watch what you give out. Okay. Hold on. There was a card that flipped. So you also have society and March is going to be significant. Say yes to all the wonderful invitations coming your way. Excellent networking opportunities and new love interests for singles will be the result. Okay. If your single is a Pringle, but you're ready to mingle, March is it. Get out there and do it. As my mother-in-law used to say, get to it and do it. Don't overthink it. Just do it. Tough and trying times, tough times ahead. Think long-term and make decisions accordingly. Avoid negative people at all costs. All right, Virgo. You got your message. You know what to do. Let's get some numbers here. Okay. September 12th, August 31st as usual. Someone's name starts with the letter V. Someone's name starts with the letter R. 1961 or someone is 61. Hold on. Okay. Someone is 48. Someone is 59. Ava. Somebody's name. Somebody drives an R-A-V. Arav. Arav four. I don't know what number they're up to now. Arav. Okay.

I think that's what they were called. Watch out for Xi Jinping this year. That's a political, I'm making a political prediction here. Something to do with a Vax. I know I shouldn't go down this road and I'm not gonna, but I'm just saying. Watch out. Something to do. There's a connection between China and a vaccine. That's all I'm saying. All right. August 27th. I don't even remember what songs were by the Verve. The Verve? V-E-R-V-E. Somebody has like a nerve. They just said, somebody has like, I don't know if it's neuropathy or somebody's got like a nerve thing, pinched nerve or some nerve pain that they're dealing with right now. Avril. They just gave me the name Avril. Why did everything like turn pink all of a sudden? All right. I pulled them all. Okay. Someone's born in October. Significant or something significant happened in October. Okay. We have September 21st, 1971, 1975, age 54, February 14th, Valentine's Day. Something significant happened on that day. Somebody's in limbo. The letter L initial, the letter L, the letter M, the letter B. You need to take your vitamins, your B vitamins, but they're also saying something about B1. You need some B1. I don't know what that is. 732, 1987, 1984. Someone's 41. Okay. The letter O. Someone thinks you're a 10 Virgo. Whoa. That's nice. I'm just hearing Leonard or Lenny. Leonard. Okay. Someone lives in, so they're giving me LA, which would be Los Angeles, but then they're also saying Louisiana. They just said LA. So it's one of the two. Somebody is in Virginia. I'm also picking up, oh, they just said Albuquerque. Just heard Albuquerque. Someone's name is Bella. I'm getting Boston. Someone's in Boston. Someone lives in Montana. So obviously there's a U.S. States. Now they're saying Alabama. Someone's in Alabama. Okay. Estonia. And I'm also hearing someone's in Ireland. So they're giving me that old song now by Eminem and Rihanna. I love the way you lie.   Excuse me. Maximum cursing today. I don't know what's going on. Okay. LAX. I just heard LAX. Are you getting on a plane? Oh, now they're telling me Lexi. Somebody's name is Lexi. Okay. Somebody, are you listening to Guns N' Roses? Like for real? Maybe you're listening to some old Guns N' Roses song that might be like your, maybe that's your workout song, your workout music. Welcome to the jungle. Okay. Let's see. Give me a September birthday, please spirit. September 2nd. Hala. Also August 28th. 24th. 20, I think I said 27th. 23rd. Okay. So we've got Gemini showing up here, you guys. Some Gemini energy, Leo, Cancer and Aries. Okay. So this could have something, some kind of connection. Let's get a couple more. Okay. Double Taurus, Aries and Leo again. That's total fixed sign energy right there. And Gemini again, Leo, Aries and Scorpio. Okay. So you may have connections to some of those signs. Just heard September 4th. They just said September 10th and a little charm and then I'm going to send you off on your way. Don't forget you guys to hit subscribe on the way out of this video and become a member of the channel. Yes. My lovelies. And watch out for the courses coming soon. If you're interested in, if you're interested in having some tarot lessons and have some other goodies like, you know, how to build a YouTube channel. Perhaps you want to start doing that. I'm going to start putting that together and offering that to you guys. People have requested them. I was like, Oh, I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, I think we should do it. Okay. So I looked at all the other charms. I feel like this is pulling me the strongest. So we're going to take a look at, hold on, let me get a, let me get a card so you can see it. So you do have the yin yang, the yin and the yang. Okay. So there is, they just gave me, they just said, they gave me that Paul Abdul song, opposites attract. I don't know if that will resonate for you, but there is some kind of connection here where there's like a yin and a yang connection where two people are like, they're complete opposites. Yet they need each other to, to function, I guess, you know, like, like one half of the yin doesn't matter. Like the up, like the black and the white, the negative and positive, like the, they're, they're, they just go together. We go together. So there may be a yin yang connection to you. There could be a yin yang connection to somebody else or to both people. I don't know specifically, and this could be anything, like you see the yin yang and you're like, ding, that's me. Okay. If you're just looking at that, and you're like, I have no idea. If you don't know what the yin yang represents, go look it up. Right. It's, it's just really basically like light and dark energy that, you know, light can't exist without darkness. Right. I mean, unless like even up in, like it, even in Antarctica, like it'll stay dark for a long time and then it'll stay light for a long time, there's always going to be the darkness, right? Light can't exist without darkness and darkness can't exist without light. You know, right? Isn't that right? Is that right? I'm pretty sure that's it. I mean, two people who compliment each other, but then there's also could be a struggle, you know. All right. I'm not going in depth with that. I'm just going to leave that there. The yin yang represents you in some way, some force, somehow. This would most definitely be more of a qualifier. This is your, your reading, like maybe there's a tattoo or maybe there's a sticker on your car.  I don't know. Whatever it is. There you go. So yeah, I'm going to leave that reading there. I hope you enjoy that. Definitely book a reading with me if you want to get a personal, like a one-on-one phone call reading or a text. You can do a text reading, lots of new stuff coming up. I'm not going to go into it here, but thank you to the mods. Thank you for joining the channel. I greatly appreciate that. And yeah, I will see you all back here tomorrow. Bye. Love you. Bye.
