Help Hacking a Motorola

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

I’ve gotten a few comments on my “Motorola Hacking” post. If you have a motorola phone — preferrably of the vxxx series– here are a few resources for you. You may need to register, but its free. If you dont like giving out your email address, do like me and give them a hotmail account. Those get enough spam already.

I suggest reading xlr8’s guide first, then you should be able to find all the needed tools at the other two sites. motomodders is the mecca of motorola hacking.

Have fun voiding your warranty!

My Top Albums via NGR

Wednesday, August 17th, 2005

From No Good Reason:

When you sit at a desk as long as I do, you need something to take you away from Word and Lotus. My method is a set of headphones and filling up my work computer with my favorite albums. I tend to wear through albums quickly. I play them for 9 hours a day, so after hearing Feel Good Inc. for the 30th time in a week, Its time for something new. Anyways, here are my top 3 albums at the moment and possibly 3 more tomorrow.

  1. DynamiteDynamite - Jamiroquai

    I got a hold of this album late. I hadn’t realized it had come out so soon. Jamiroquai has done it once again with their interstellar funk. A more diverse selection than the past. The new single, ‘Feels Just Like it Should’ clings closely to their Synkronized hit ‘Canned Heat’– Featured on Napoleon Dynamite. Out of nowhere, Jay Kay opens ‘Seven Days in Sunny June’ with an acoustic guitar and piano. This soft summer-feelin “drinking wine and killing time” song is my personal favorite of the album. Not many songs today can take you places like ‘Seven Days…’

Weekend Recap

Monday, August 15th, 2005

It was a nice weekend.
Friday, i worked until 5. I was falling asleep so I decided I was done for the day. Waiting for Adam to call me back, I went to the mall and bought me a new wallet. Once Adam got home I went and visited the new house [Pictures]. Lauren got off work around 8. We had dinner, I fell asleep then Brian joined us for McGee’s and Linda’s.

Saturday night was with Lauren, Lisa and Eric. We decided on The Majestic. I’ve only been there once before. I really like it there. It has a great atmosphere and an incredible menu. I tried a random wheat ale on tap called Hacker Pschorr. It was an amazing ale, I believe it was a cider. They garnished it with a lemon slice — something I’ve only seen with Corona and a lime. I would definitely have it again. Lisa ordered a quesadilla appetizer. It was filled with garlic hummus, black bean and cheese. Very tasty combination.

Sunday was a day of relaxation. Besides some cleaning and laundry, I just relaxed. Before bed, I watched the Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson.

…Feet Part 2

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

Okay. I just came back from shopping and found one hell of a deal. The biggest complaint I read in reviews was they never heat the water, let alone keep it warm. So i found one that guarunteed to heat cold water in minutes. It was $35, a little more than I was planing to spend, but then I noticed that was a sale price. It normally goes for $70. Its real nice. You can control the heat, it has some cheesy “infrared heat therapy” thing on it (thats separate from the water heater. and 10 jets with a speed dial. It even has a little pedicure thing with pumice and such.

It does everything the box claims to do. My only worry is that it breaks.

HoMedics BB-3-K Double the Bubbles Foot Massager

After last week’s surgery on my foot (my toe, but ‘foot’ sounds more masculine), I was given a foot soak solution to use twice a day. Ive been using it in a rubbermaid dish tub, but I’m thinking of upgrading. I was looking at the low-end foot spas (under $30). Has anyone ever used one? m sure the $60+ ones are very nice, but I’m cheap. Imust say a foot soak even in this tup with no massage features feels really noice.
