Customizing my nameless Stratocaster!
Dec 31st
Today I have customized my no-name Stratocaster with some new tone and volune pots, and while I was at it, I bought some Fender Tex Mex pickups. Down below you’ll see some work in progress and final shots!
Quote: John Mayer – Edge of Desire
Dec 16th
Don’t say a word, just come over and lie here with me.
Cause I’m about to set fire to everything I see.
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe.
There… I just said it, I’m scared you forget about me…
I mean, how can you not love this, a song about an eager desire around midnight.

Photography Tutorials: Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO
Dec 13th
Watch this man ramble on about the basics of photography: aperture, shutterspeed and ISO. A bit crazy, but learned a lot out of it.
Think Different.
Dec 13th
It never gets old to me, the slogan used in Apple’s 1997 “Think Different” Commercial:
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Photography Tutorials: The Histogram
Dec 10th
The Histogram
In this series I will post some stuff that I found useful during my search for useful photography info. In this first blogentry: The histogram. Watch John Mireles talk about it in this 3-piece youtube movie series and learn.. Ow and by the way.. Don’t mind the VERY irritating music.
Happiness
May 27th
When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life.

Ukelele – Changing your OSX Keyboard lay-out made easy
May 8th
Say you have a dead key on your Macbook keyboard or some keys you rareley use and want to swap for another key. I searched for an easy way to do this and stumbled upon Ukelele. Without it, you have to change your keyboard lay-out by messing around with some XML files.
Instead of doing that, you can now throw around with the keys using an easy to use GUI and nice user manual included in the download. Besides all the functional good stuff, it’s free! Click here to go to the developers page.
Favourite symbian s60v3 / Nokia E71 applications
May 7th
So here goes, my favourite and most used apps on the symbian s60v3 platform.
1. Gravity
Hands down the best native twitter app for my nokia. It costs like a euro of 8 but it’s well worth the effort. twitpicking, searching, trends, it’s all in there. Try it out at www.mobileways.de
2. Opera Mini
Tiny, fast and compatible, just 3 things a mobile browser should be. The home screen shows you all your bookmarks in a single view.
3. Mobitubia
For checking out stuff at youtube. I find the official youtube app too be a little sluggish and doesn’t play all the videos right.
4. Putty for symbian
The title says it all, irssi, centerim, bash terminal on your favourite server within reach. Has profiles for various connections. Seriously, who doesn’t love irc-ing from the toilet :p?
5. Wordmobi
The app from where I write this post. Previous versions lacked the function to save a post as draft but in the latest version it’s all there. Just awesome.
If you think a made a serious mistake leaving out some apps, don’t hesitate to tell me in the comments section below!
