Recently I bought a Tmobile MyTouch 3g Slide off ebay for about $200. Of course the stock 3g slide comes with lots of nice features, but lacks stuff like teathering and wifi router that tmobile would rather you not have or pay extra for. The easiest way around this is to root your phone and then update it with one of the many custom ROMs available on the web. Well let me just say that this rooting experience was not easy. But if you are serious about getting it done and want the best tutorial to do it, I know just the place.

If you manage the Intelligent lights at a club or run a mobile DJ rig, you have likely spent more hours up on ladders changing bulbs than you want to admit. You thought why has nobody taken a High power LED and put it in a mirror based scanner? Well my friends the time has come! A new company SDE Lighting has finally built the fixture we have all dreamed of! Read this for the full detailed specs. Don't waste another penny with American DJ, Chauvet, High End or Martin. The guys at SDE Lighting have made an 60 watt LED Intelligent Scanner, and priced it at about $325.

The other day a friend was nagging me about how I don't drink enough water. Its normal for me to power through my day consuming Octane Energy Drinks, and coffee. And stopping for occasional snacks ( crackers with peanut butter and honey ). But then it dawned on me, there is a huge misunderstanding of what dehydration really is. If you suffer from constipation ( I am talking to you ladies! ), then you might want to read this.

I have been working with DMX controlled intelligent lighting fixtures for years, and if there I know its that no two fixtures are alike. Each fixture has its strengths and weaknesses. The amount of time I have spent searching for fixtures that meet my requirements of both price and performance is obscene. I have realized that what we need is a website that has detailed specs on all lighting fixtures, so we can easily compare fixtures apples to apples. When I get some free time I will build a website that does this.

In this modern day everything is powered by batteries. Especially if you have kids. Every toy these days requires at least 3-4 AA, AAA, C, or D batteries. There is no reason to buy regular old single use Alkaline Batteries. This is because rechargeable batteries have come a long way in the past 10 years. But before you go off and buy yourself a pack of Energizer Rechargeables, there is something you need to know. All batteries are not created equal, and the same goes for chargers. If your set of rechargeable batteries seems to no longer hold a charge, it could be it has developed a memory. However if you have the La Crosse BC-700 AA / AAA Battery Charger, then you can usually refresh these batteries removing the memory making them like new.

If you are like me you take server security very seriously. You lock down all your ports, and you even firewall IPs that try to use exploits. But eventually you determine that non of your clients do business in China or Russia, and its easier to just block those countries, rather than trying to block individual IPs. Well this brings another problem. Windows Server 2008 R2 has no user friendly way to do a bulk import of IPs. Luckily I found a VB script that you can run and it will automatically add the IP blocks you want to block.

The title should be pretty self explanatory. We have 16 Mighty Scan fixtures. These fixtures have the fans mounted on the outside of the body. which makes changing them very easy. After some observations I concluded that the stock OEM fans are crap. So I decided to upgrade the fan to something with a little more beef.

Facebook is going public. Even though there are many websites who's parent companies have gone public. Facebook is the first which is based around a single website. Not just that but unlike other companies that are diversified accross many different fronts. Facebook for the most part is just a social networking website. I predict that everything will be downhill from here. Don't buy this stock!

So it would seem that Donald Trump is considering a run for President in 2012. Don't know if this is just a publicity stunt ( in which I am obviously not helping by blogging about this ). Or if he really wants to get stuff done.

Recently I bought 2 pairs of Fixtures for my client. Let me just start by saying that when it comes to low cost DMX controlled Moving Mirror Scanners, no two fixtures are alike. Each Fixture has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. What is important is to find the fixture that best suites your needs.
