Posted at 14:50 on July 24th 2010 in DIY, MultitoolsAbout a week ago I posted a saw blade mod for my Leatherman Skeletool and said that I didn't want a complicated solution like where I got the idea from, just something simple. Well, that didn't last long... more -

DIY water bottle sports cap
Posted at 14:51 on July 14th 2010 in DIYI drink a lot of water, and so I carry a water bottle with me everywhere. My favorite bottle is a 0.7L insulated one that I have 4 of now (they were on sale...), but it's not easy to use while cycling because of the screw-on cap. more -
Leatherman combination spanner mod
My work place has two large garagaes, but none of the tools that should be in them. Seriousely, I dare anyone to try to find a security torx bit (or any other kind of specialized, NEEDED equipment) in that place. I long ago started carrying my own tools as they sure as hell aren't going to provide them. more -

Posted at 17:53 on May 29th 2010 in Geocaching, PhotographyI have an app on the iPhone that is amazing at making panoramas, but now that I have a DSLR I'd rather use that, which means I need software to stitch the photos. Turns out theres a bit difference between various software. more -

Posted at 10:53 on March 21st 2010 in Lifestyle hacks, Viliv S5I got a Viliv S5 4.8" tablet with Windows 7 yesterday and as the accessory geek I am I immediately started looking for some.

Posted at 10:10 on March 12th 2010 in Lifestyle hacks, NetbooksAlthough the skin I put on the 1101HA a while back went a long way to get rid of glare on the netbook casing, I wanted something a bit more professional looking. more -
DIY bit holder with belt clip

USB powered FiiO E3- 1101HA edition
Posted at 16:48 on November 23rd 2009 in Lifestyle hacks, NetbooksI like bass, but built in software equalizers suck. FiiO e3 and E5 amps are cheap and have good bass boost, but adds an extra lump on the cable and you have to worry about battery. I fixed that. more -

Posted at 16:16 on October 22nd 2009 in Lifestyle hacks, NetbooksOne of the biggest annoyances with netbooks or even notebooks in general is that most of them have glossy screens, making it impossible to use them near a window or outside. Same goes for my 1101HA, so I decided to fix that. more -
