yay accelerometers

[gfish]

As anyone who has slept with me will confirm, I tend to toss and turn all night. Thanks to a fun Android app, even the distressing number of you who have little desire to share a bed with me can see just how bad it is:



I only used it for the first time last night, but I'm curious to see what patterns emerge over time. I'm looking forward to playing with the optimally timed alarm feature -- I've wanted to try that for years, but custom hardware is expensive. Yet another reason that having a general-purpose computing platform with an accelerometer is awesome!

Hmm. it said it was going to vibrate but didn't. Relatedly, is there any way on android to use the builtin speaker even when a headset is plugged in?

There might be an app which allows that. I have one which will disable the headset control buttons, for instance, so when I plug in non-standard headsets it doesn't get random pause and skip signals.
