First time using Airbnb. Awesome experience.

Apartment was about same price as a 2 star hotel, but at 5 minutes walk from times square and with a lot more freedom (cook what we want, do what we want, more spacious) than in a hotel. And it was a good experience for us. Something different than the usual 5 star hotels in Tibet/China.

Thanks to Jamie for hosting us. I can greatly recommend him and this apartment.

I bricked my Nexus S yesterday, while trying to root it (with an howto for an old Android version). As usual I was trying to do too much stuff with too little time (as I had to catch my plane later that evening).

I had to root it to get OpenVPN, ssh tunnel, or system wide proxies up and running. Things I needed to by-pass the Great Firewall in China on my mobile.
