The Ownage

I got an iPhone dock as a Christmas gift (Thanks Jenny & Jeramiah!), and it was barely able to dock my iPhone 3GS with the case on, because the case adds to the thickness of the bottom of the phone and so the connector doesn’t go as far into the slot. Anyhow, fast forward to [...]

I have always taken a lot of pictures with my phone, ever since I had a decent camera phone (various Sony models, best was the K850i). I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to the iPhone4. It takes pretty decent pictures, even in low light, and can record at 720p video. Sadly missing though, is [...]

I finally became annoyed enough at one of my laptops loose, floppy lids to do something about it. I figured out how to fix it, and decided to post how I did it so that others could use the info. From what I have seen, loose laptop lids are usually caused by Loose hinge screws [...]

I realized it was nearly a year ago when I first mentioned the Solar Project that I wanted to do. What better time to work on it than now, when I am in between jobs? Of course there is the no-income issue, but I’m doing okay for now, and I have some ideas to keep [...]

I finally succumbed and got an Apple IPhone 3GS. I will really miss some features of my old Sony Ericcson K850i, especially the camera and video features (5MP camera, xenon flash, image stabilizer, video calling, etc). I was really tired of typing on a T9 keypad though. And they did upgrade the camera in the [...]

I made a prediction some time ago that “within 5 years games will no longer use controllers”. It looks more and more like this is coming true, in multiple ways. There is the Microsofts “Project Netal”, which basically uses multiple cameras and voice recognition to do full motion body capture – a fancy way of [...]
