How to download Youtube Music/Get around a firewall to watch Youtube

August 01st, 2008 | Category: Ideas, Projects

There are those days when you want to listen to a certain song, but either don’t own a copy of the song, or just don’t have your iPod on you. Thankfully, users on YouTube are usually kind enough to share their collection with us via videos featuring static images with said music over top. The only drawback to this method is portability.

It’s a BeepBoop!

BeepBoop?

It’s two days before one of your best friend’s birthday’s, and you’re at a loss. You want something creative, something that will wow, and something that Isn’t Expensive!

iTunes gift cards? Come on, I can do better than that; but I wasn’t sure How I was going to do better than that. Thankfully, my friend had to leave a day before her birthday for a family reunion. Ok, good. That bought me an extra week to find something completely special and awesome.

Thankfully, serendipity has always been there for me!

My Scion tC

By heart, I’m a tinkerer. I love to add things, modify things, and basically make something my own. I love owning something unique. Unfortunately, everyone and their mom has a Scion tC. So what does one do?

Trick it out, that’s what.

July 11th, 2008 | Category: Projects

I got the idea for this when I was thinking about a way to increase its power. I was about to go down to Radio Shack to buy a second IR Transmitter, but then I realized that it would be much simpler to just put a mirror like device to focus the beam, instead of adding the extra emitter to strengthen it.
