for the electronic engineers
it’d be pretty cool to take some accelerometers and hack them into that ice tube clock IE tilting to change the time/alarm.

just hacked starcraft 2 beta
i mean installed. =)
(just finished compiling my crack for the sc2 beta; wings of liberty. no need for fake launchers or replay loads. just plain ol’ install and run. choose race features also activated rather than randomly-selected)

omg, i’d love to make my own circuit boards!
yes, i AM that geeky. there’s a custom circuit board powering the pump in my xbox 360 which also provides the ground from the pump back into the proper circuit on the main motherboard, thus keeping my xbox from being banned online. take that, microsoft!

watercooled xbox 360, 2010 update
so i’ve noticed hundreds and hundreds of hits coming from my youtube videos regarding my watercooled xbox 360 project and i know there really isn’t any closure on the project yet anywhere on this blog, so i thought i’d post this up real quick.
the project’s done. it’s running just fine. there’s another video on the way, i promise. i just need to finish editing it and upload it. i hope to find some time this week to actually do that, so please check back often. i have another big watercooling project on the way and will try to document that as much as possible.
meanwhile, why not enjoy some of these recorded gaming sessions i have up on youtube? =)
(you’ll find a lot of cod:waw and halo ODST, although i’m more of a mw2 person now)

nerf ctf: nerf raider cs35
going to pick one up for a possible upcoming CTF match and mod it. *sigh*, the old school nerf modding days seem to be coming back.

camo’ing some stuff
it first started out with wanting to urban camo my pc case because of all of the greens that my new setup will have. you know, give it that rugged military look and feel since all of the components will look pretty rugged themselves. now it’s going to continue with camo’ing my video card covers, motherboard cover and xbox 360 controllers.
this will all be documented, as always…so pics and videos very soon!

osx on hp mini note, part 2
i’ve noticed a lot of users visiting my earlier post, osx installed on hp mini note.
that hp mininote 2133 is long gone and although i’ve purchased 2 of the newer hp mini 1000 units, i’ve never attempted to install osx on them. but what i do want to do is give a little more insight into the controversial topic of installing osx on the hp mininote 2133.
i’ve seen all of the threads about my laptop and i’ve also seen the blog articles. there’s been a lot of controversy over it all due to the fact of my lack of actual installation steps. but there’s a reason behind all of that.
you see, i’m all about pushing those that are into technology to further developing this world into a better one. pushing them to do new things, experiment more, document and publish their findings. but people out there are afraid; afraid to try things on their own. afraid to do things for themselves. so instead, they go out there on the internet and google tutorials and conform to what other people have already done.
so for something as difficult as installing osx on a piece of hardware, i was not just about to release the information so easily. in my mind, i knew i could do it. basically. osx is an operating system; a collection of programs communicating with each other to run software. with the proper hardware, osx can be installed on anything. the majority of all laptops usually have the proper hardware already.
the mininote 2133, running on the via chip, could run osx. all that was required was the modification of the kernel. doing so, i could reallocate the appropriate amounts of memory and resources to the debuggers, compilers, text editors and such to run on the mininote 2133 hardware, regardless of it’s cpu chipset. the compiler, with enough resources, can translate the patched code into binary that the mininote’s hardware can understand. please note the word “patched”. obviously, for all of this to work, it’ll require a few extra lines of instructions to run on the altered hardware, but it’s possible.
so please, stop conforming. we don’t want to be stuck at our current stage with a bunch of copycats. that’s all you get.
