Sorry for the break on posts, I was on spring break! 
 
I have gotten a smaller battery in the mail and have soldered it on as well. In addition, I have set up a small usb charging device. The code that I am using that I will upload to the device still has a ton of errors that I am working on sorting out, and I now need to 3d print a working case for it! Beyond that, all of the hardware is done! 
 

 

Alright guys, new update! 
I finished soldering the screen onto the other main components!

And another.

Here you can see the wires in between them.

Here is a view next to the battery that I plan on using. attaching the battery will be my next step, along with installing a button to turn on and off the power. 

ya i'd be down for 120ish usd if they turn out to look halfway nice and run good with android

So I was getting really tired of waiting for a smartwatch that I had backed on kickstarter over a year ago and has still not started mass production, so I decided to do this instead!
 
I have started building my own smartwatch using an arduino pro mini, an HC-06 bluetooth module to connect to my phone, a 2 cell 600mah LiPo battery, and a 128x64 monochrome 0.96" OLED display. 
 
here I have begun to solder together the arduino pro mini and the HC-06 bluetooth module. Be aware that I do not have much soldering experience and this stuff is really really small! (go easy on me if my soldering sucks)

 
 
After finishing soldering together the Arduino and the bluetooth module:

and from the front:

 
This is what it will look like soon when I have finished soldering on the display:

and here are the two components next to each other:

 
I will be updating this hopefully every day but I only get a few minutes to work on it per day, so don't expect too much. I am probably gonna have to 3d print a case for it when it is done being soldered together, and then I have the problem of charging the LiPo battery correctly and without damaging it, a complicated task. I hope integrate some sort of charging mechanism into the case that I design because currently I have been charging the LiPo battery with raw leads. I also would like to be able to use regular/standard watch straps with my case after I print it! 
 
Wish me luck!

Is that the 8 mhz 3.3v board? Nice work for a noob. I've been planning a super sexy one for a bit. Also here's a proper video about soldering.

So I'm thinking the Wan Show needs a drinking game. Put your recommendations in the comments. I would suggest only picking 4-5 from the first part in an attempt to stave off a trip to the hospital/make it all the way to the end of the show. B)
 
Here is what I have so far:
 
Drink when:
Linus goes off on a rant
Banners are incorrect (wrong sponsor, wrong guest, etc)
Topic/build logs are ready
Consoles are mentioned
Mechanical Keyboard, extra drink for Blues are better than Reds
Noctua
Fan boying
AMD/Nvidia rant
TN vs IPS panels
Linus eats/drinks
Luke/Linus mention they are hungry/thirsty
Luke does his signature 'mid blown' gesture
Linus uses the phrases 'dem X' or 'dat X' as in 'dem braided cables' or 'dat graphics card'
A phone goes off
Audio problems
WiFi/internet problems
Luke says 'very very very'
Linus says 'extremely'
Linus makes a horrible pun
Luke/Linus use the wrong word
When Luke plays "devil's advocate"
Linus/Luke have an argument about a product they cant talk about (NDA)
Guest gets trolled in twitch chat for an opinion
Canadian Internet service
 
Take a shot/finish your drink when:
Wan Show starts late
EA!
Luke is fired.
Luke is 'unfired'
Luke/Linus use a horrible pun
Stream cuts out
Food is delivered
We see other members of the Linus Media Group on screen

I really hope this is Rocket!! Good luck Linus. You have all our best wishes on this one, mate, you really do

great news !!!!!

A alienware case, nothing else just the case

May take a long time to get a folding badge. Almost at 1,000,000 and still no badge... 

Seems legit

I heard the piratebay is having a weekend sale. All audio software is free

Just joined the folding team! Will most likely be on campus most of the time studying now that my program is kicking it into high gear... might as well let my PC fold while I'm not home. ^^

I just looked at my stats. It seems as if I can get 40K ppd. I really wasn't expecting that. Makes me happy though.
 
Now I just need to get Whaler stats.  :lol:

I use linux as well! gedit has always worked well for me - though im sure that there are other solutions.

Just wondering cause it seems like Im the only one!! :(
