Gearlive.com as posted a video of the features of the upcoming firmware for the iPhone. Seems pretty legit to me and consistent with the rumored features. Some of the key features include: SMS to multiple recipients Google Maps upgraded to include hybrid view and cell tower triangulation to give you a sort-of GPS as well…
There is an amazing new Slot Machine game called iSlots on Installer right now: It even maintains your bank between plays and has sound effects of the reels going.
I love the track feature of Twitter. Because of it, I found this video of how to load a Holga. I simply sent ‘track holga’ to Twitter and it lets me know when anyone talks about holgas. Found via @spenceke on Twitter who linked to this page in a tweet. That site also has lots…
I think I have a problem. Is it weird for a guy to like gadget bags? I think I have a bag/pouch/container for just about everything gadget I own. I guess I like to protect my stuff. I especially like Crumpler bags. The latest one I bought a few months back was the Crumpler Keystone…
After picking up a new ginormous hard drive on boxing day (think Black Friday in the US, only much lamer), I went about adding it to my Powermac G5 tower (aka my server). For some reason, Apple always does things different than other computer manufacturers and the process of upgrading the hard drive is no…
Just finished scanning the results of the first roll of film I put through the new Holga camera I recently picked up. I was pretty convinced that I had either loaded the film incorrectly or that I didn’t handle it properly and all the shots I took would be exposed. Unlike 35mm film, medium-format film…
Always curious to try new things, I figured I’d try out Ubuntu (gutsy) on my eeePC. The nice thing about Ubuntu (and many versions of Linux these days) is that they are available in ‘live cd’ versions which means you just boot up the cd image that you burn after downloading and then you can…
I get asked multiple times a day about getting an iPhone and using it in Canada. It was always fun to help friends unlock their iPhones. Until now. Ever since the 1.1.2 firmware made it’s appearance (around build week 45 for those keeping score), there hasn’t been a working software unlock for these phones. You…
You’d think it was Christmas or something. Been treating myself to a few little things lately…the kind of stuff nobody would ever buy for me so it’s all good. While on another iPhone gathering expedition with a friend in Seattle (which also included picking up a droid and a Rock Band), I stumbled across this…
I went to an arcade auction this weekend and scored this upright video slot machine for cheap. I think it’s hilarious that it screams “FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY” on the top of the bezel. After doing some googling, it seems that this unit *could* actually be setup to payout so bring your quarters next time you…
