My blog's new design
I launched this new design about 2 weeks ago, and just until now I realized that I needed to write about it. First, let me give credit where credit is due. I did not write the entire theme by myself, as a matter of fact, I didn’t write any of it, I just modified and added lines of code (mostly CSS). I did all this thanks to Sandbox, which is basically a clear canvas for people who want to start out making WP designs. I did run into some trouble making the whole thing centered, but nothing too complicated. I started out with the new logo...
read moreFavorite Tunes of 2007
Here is a list of songs that I may have listened one too many times in 2007. If you’re not familiar with the song, just click the Video Clip here link to watch the Youtube vid. LDN – Lily Allen. This song makes me happy (and my mom loves it!). Video clip here. 3′s and 7′s – Queens of the Stone Age. I love the raw guitar in this tune. Video clip here. T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S – The Hives. Funkalicious!. Video clip here. Working Class Hero – Green Day. Just had to include this Green Day song...
read moreWhy I won't trade my $99 Pantech Duo for an iPhone
Sure, you can call me a Windows Mobile fanboy, but a pretty interface and sleek hardware, as offered by Apple’s iPhone, isn’t enough to make me trade in my Pantech Duo (or any 3G keypad-enabled Windows Mobile phone for that matter) for an iPhone. Here are the reasons why: 3G: Sure, the iPhone has Wifi, but most of the time I’m not even close to a wireless access point, and if I was, I’d rather whip out my 2lb Asus EEE for serious computing (which I would tether to my Pantech Duo for awesome surfing speeds). By the...
read moreNew Years Resolutions
Everyone else does it, so why can’t I. Of course, I’m referring to new years resolutions. And what better why to start of the year but to list some of my objectives for 2008. And, happy 2008, by the way. Get in shape. This means eating healthier and doing more physical activities, and sticking to the plan. I’ve lost 9 lbs so far and I’m feeling great! Blog more. At least 2 entires every (week)day for DigitalWiseGuy and 1 on this blog. Back to school. I’ve decided to go back to school. I’ve also decided to...
read moreMelissa is a CAPTCHA cracker!
Spammers never stop amazing me. Their latest scheme to sell viagra (and others products): a Trojan Horse. But not an ordinary trojan horse, it is actually a very clever one that motivates its victims to decipher CAPTCHAs (Completely Automatic Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) by displaying a model named Melissa, who will take articles of clothing off every time a CAPTCHA is typed in correctly. The deciphered CAPTCHA text is sent to a server in Israel, which in return sends back a picture of Melissa with less clothes. The...

read moreMy New Posts on Digital Wise Guy
I just finished writing 2 articles over at Digital Wise Guy. If you like gadgets (and you’re in the market for a new smartphone) head over there and check these articles out. Samsung’s New BlackJack2 – Officially announced by at&t. I summarize all the articles that have come out about the successor to at&t’s response to the Q. Hands on with the Tilt. I’m sad to report that I was disappointed at the Tilt when I got to play with it while configuring it for a client....
read moreTom is a liar!
Some are reporting that Tom (c’mon….you know who Tom is…your first Myspace friend) has always been lying about his age. On his profile, he claims to be 32, when he is allegedly 40. Yes. TOM isn’t in his cool 30′s….he’s in his boring 40′s! How can we trust Myspace, as on of its founders has been lying to us since the beginning? I can’t believe this, if there is on person in the world I could trust, it was Tom, and now our trust has been broken. I can’t believe me when he tells me that...

The Original Ghetto-Bird
So this 24-year-old Nigerian Dude built a functional Helicopter using junk parts, because, and I’m paraphrasing here “it was easier to build a helicopter than a car”. A 133 hp Honda Civic engine powers it, its 12 feet long, has 4 Toyota car seats and flying it is as simple as: You start it, allow it to run for a minute or two and you then shift the accelerator forward and the propeller on top begins to spin,” he explains. “The further you shift the accelerator the faster it goes and once you reach 300 rpm you...
