 Du> You know those portable cell phone power banks/batteries people carry to
 Du> recharge their phones?  They can run a Raspberry Pi.
 Du> 
 Du> So, one of the main things I've used them for is creating time lapse
 Du> cameras, which I can drop anywhere in the wilderness I like.  A high
 Du> capacity power bank runs 24-30 hours depending on weather.
 Du> 
 Du> I create a hotspot on my cell phone.  I power up the camera, and it
 Du> connects to my hot spot, then (if cell phone service is available) sets
 Du> its clock over the Internet.  I have the Pi running a web server which
 Du> shows the most recent shot taken by the camera so I can use my phone to
 Du> pull that up on the Pi to make sure things are aligned properly.
 Du> 
 Du> Through the scripts I can tweak things like resolution or how often the
 Du> Pi should take a photograph.

Very cool ideas.

.... Condense soup, not books!
