Today’s Purchases: total $15 I found out my Galaxy Note can act as a USB On-The-Go (OTG) host. This means that with the right cable, I can connect my phone directly to a USB memory stick or hard drive and watch stuff from there. This way, I don’t need to go buy an expensive microSD card. Trick is, you can’t use any old cable for USB OTG. So I bought a USB Female A (like the ports on your computer) to Micro B (like on a mobile phone) adapter. Also, a teeny 32GB USB stick to use it with. I’ll have to cut it open, whip out the soldering iron I haven’t used since undergrad (yay), short one of the pins and BOOM, USB OTG adapter. Or BOOM, I just broke a bunch of shit. I’ll get back to you.
