How to update iPhone from 2.2.1 to 3.0 beta 3
Not sure if I'm just a total doofus or if my googling skills were just off but I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the new iPhone 3.0 beta 3 installed on my iPhone today. Here's how I did it.

iPhone Wallpaper - Enjoy!
I was sitting here at my desk working (on the Mac) when the Helios screensaver on my Ubuntu box went off. I thought, huh, that'd make a cool wallpaper for my iPhone.

My New Love for Tea
I've got it bad, like bad bad. Having completely kicked coffee during my juice fast I began drinking tea. I went from knowing nothing about tea to measuring loose leaf tea, getting the right temperature water and keeping track of steeping times for that perfect cup of tea. I'm searching for tea podcasts, reading tea blogs and, yeah.

10 day juice fast (done)
It's that time of year again, juice fast. I like to do a good juice fast at least once a year to get a nice base, clean out the ole system. (although I don't recall doing one last year). It's a great way to rid your body of all of the extra toxins, it's sort of like clearing out old cookies from your browser.

Code for the Youtube thumbnail getter
I had some questions on the Youtube thumbnail getter project I did for fun a few days back so I wanted to post the code. Take it, use it, do whatever you want with it, just don't blame me if it breaks the internets. :-)

What is santa bringing me for Christmas?
In short, nothing. There is no santa, get the message out to all of those kids out there. To help, I made this very special website.

Ping.fm + Custom URL = mobile photo blog
Yeah, get that? Remember when I wrote an ugly little script that allowed for posting to a mobile photo blog from my sprint phone? Yeah, it was really ugly but it worked... sometimes.

Use xmodmap to remap keys on Apple Aluminum Keyboard
Ok, another problem I've been having, and this has been fairly consistent through any Linux distro. I'm an Apple user, therefore I'm used to the Apple keyboard layout. I use Command, not Control. Here's a fix on how to remap your keys so you can still have the luxury of not breaking your fingers to hit the control key.

Transferring a .vdi VirtualBox machine on Linux
I'm far from a Linux pro, let's get that out in the open. I'm quite the opposite actually. But I found a solution to a problem that was bugging me today and I thought someone else may stumble on this and find help. All GUI baby!

Quest marketing commercials in St. Louis
My wife and I are always on the look out for these late night Quest commercials. It's not that uncommon for us to rewind and laugh as we watch them over and over, lame I know. I had to bust out the video camera on this latest commercial so I could share w/ my St. Louis peeps. Lets all laugh together.

A Letter from the King of Winghaven
A pretty hilarious thing happened last week in Winghaven and I almost missed it. A letter was sent from the City of Winghaven telling all residents that they are not to have political signs in their yards. Apparently someone on my street, hereto known as "The King of Winghaven" wrote up a reply and stuck it in everyone's mail box. And now I share it with you.

Project: Rick Roll URL Checker
Well it seems that Rick Rolling has reared it's ugly head again, at least in IRC. So I thought I'd take a few minutes (10 to be exact) and write up a little "Rick Roll Checker".

Enable Line Numbers in CFEclipse
I've been terribly annoyed with an issue with Eclipse / CFEclipse lately where line numbers are not showing up by default. Oh, and the option to enable them in the preferences is not there either. This becomes a problem when, you know, you're trying to work. ;-) I found a quick and dirty solution to enable line numbers.

Make your product photos pop with a white background using photoshop
It's the goal of every photographer to do as much "in camera" as possible such as cropping, exposure, lighting etc. The more you do in camera the less time you spend in photoshop which means the faster you can produce your image. However many times, even after the extra in-camera-effort, the photo still needs a little love in photoshop to make it just right.

How to disable disqus comment voting / clout control
There's been some back and forth on the comment rating and clout surrounding the disqus commenting system, which I use and happen to like. I found a quick and dirty solution to hiding the voting arrows on your site using jQuery.

Reuse - Drawer organizers from a pizza box
Our junk drawers were outta control. Since we moved in to our new house the 4 drawers on the island in the kitchen were a mess. Sarah and I went drawer organizer shopping only to find them to be a little overpriced.

Firefox Download Day
I just had to post this real quick. It's my Firefox download day certificate. Doesn't really do that much for my geek status but still. I downloaded it on 3 machines.

2nd ride with new mountain bike
The second ride (See the first) was not quite as long but doubly brutal. It seems like this ride had a lot more hills and obstacles.
