I think that I have made the decision that I will be getting the 15in MacBook Pro with the LED display and the Santa Rosa chip set. So if you all want to, feel free to donateor just click on the nifty Google ads. I mentioned it before but I am willing to be lame as well and get the thing laser engraved too if people want to advertise. I'm sure because I'm not being "original" this will get far less coverage than Leah Culver did but hey it never hurts to try right.... well maybe cus internet flamers can hurt your feelings but maybe if I get enough negative press it will be enough press in general, ooo the posibilities.

OS X 10.4 on a Clamshell iBook

Just to update anyone who reads this that doesn’t know me.

Yes you can indeed run Tiger on a 366mHz clamshell iBook with no firewire. It’s extremely easy to do too. Leave a comment if you want to know how.













Yeah it’s kinda slow on some stuff but I don’t edit high def video on it or anything. It dose really well for a seven year old machine that I picked up for $100
But for fear of getting flamed by Gizmodo readers I’d love to do a repeat of the “buy me a Mac Book" thing that Leah Culver chick did. I wouldn’t even charge half what she did and I’d still have to find some way to get the laser etching done since I don’t have a laser etcher where I work like she dose. I’d even go for just a “regular” MacBook if need be although a Pro would have more advertising real estate. Now just how to spread the word…

Yeah so the new Ocean is flippin sweet. So you should all donate to my paypal so I can get one.

Demonizing the Competition

This is something that frustrates me. Why bother telling me how bad the competition is? Shouldn't you just focus on making your product better and then tell me what it can do. Are consumers stupid by default or are they made stupid by advertising. This is just a rant and has no scientific background at all, but come on people why do "we" care more about Paris Hilton going to jail or stupid twins loosing weight than we do about why the twin towers actually fell? I know this is kinda scatter brained but yeah the boys in Redmond need to own up and start innovating instead of imitating healthy competition makes better results unhealthy backstabbing competition makes companies the are guilty of Anti Trust violations try to sue other companies for Anti Trust violations.

I R Want this phone... err I mean Device

The new Helio device (Aka Mighty, OZ, Glass... no one really knows for sure yet). One thing is certain it will PWN hard core.

Update on the iBook SE project

So it's all black.... well black/grayish and running Xubuntu/Kubuntu (not sure what to call it cus I installed Xubuntu but then added KDE)
It runs sweet for a G3 366 mHz machine with only 192mb of ram. Speaking of Ram that'll be my next upgrade to 576MB (512 + the built in 64MB)

If you wanna donate that'd be sweet too cus stupid PC133 144pin ram isn't cheap now days.

So I was wondering if you could take two single coil pickups and wire them together to make a humbucker.... well I guess you can cus I did.

It the on on the bottom "bridge" position once I figure out how (aka stop being lazy) to upload .mp3 I post some sound clips from my Pod which by the way is the coolest piece of Gear ever.

On my way to be a hacker or a photographer?

Or both perhaps. Some times I feel that I have to many hobbies and not enough time/money to do them. This of course boils down in reality to me not being disciplined in time management and wasting a lot of my time saying that I am tired and not wanting to put in the time to any of the hobbies that I want to be good at.

I was reading this site today : http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html and it made some good points that you can learn to be good at something like programing, playing guitar, or photography without doing it.

On the lines of photography it's way to easy to limit myself in to thinking that there is nothing to take pictures of that would be accessible to me. This of coarse is not true I just don't have the motivation to make myself getup and go to take the pictures.

I need motivation.... and money but mostly motivation to just go do stuff, and not just sit around and do nothing.
