Moshi Codex Broken

September 27th, 2008

The handle of my Moshi Codex (MacBook Pro case) is about the fall off. Bought this for a year already, but have been really using it for these 3 weeks only since school started. Been taking this out for no more than 50 times, and it is starting to tear. I’ll see if I can [...]

iPod Owl Wallpaper

September 24th, 2008

Loved the USB Owl toy so much, decided to make it the wallpaper of my iPod Touch. Used the pen tool in Photoshop to create a cutout of the owl.

Added a black background, and the iPod now looks like this:

It looked like this before, the WL ace of spades cutout:

Wynn Macau

August 26th, 2008

Just got back from Macau, spent a day at the Wynn Hotel. A very good hotel. Unlike the other hotels which are tastelessly designed, covering everything with gold and having models walking around the lobby, Wynn is so elegantly designed. Love the lights in the main lobby.

Checked in and went up to my room.

Forgot to [...]

iPod Touch Matte Screen

August 23rd, 2008

I got myself a matte screen protector (anti glare screen protector) and love it. The screen is now smoother to touch while finger prints and grease won’t show. This is a must have for iPod Touch and iPhone.
Before and after pictures to demonstrates its anti-reflectiveness:

Apple has released the firmware 2.0 for iPod touch or some time already. The new firmware include the iTunes App Store which allows you to download applications for the iPod and iPod touch. I have pwned the 2.0 firmware with Pwnage Tool.
Pwning the iPod Touch allows you to download even more third party apps through [...]

Confidence in Apple Lost

August 23rd, 2008

I exchanged my Mighty Mouse as my previous copy was unable to scroll right. Not only the problem persisted, it got worse. I was able to scroll to the right while applying pressure on the scroll ball. Scrolling left was normal just like scrolling vertically. With the replacement, I am able to scroll left or [...]

Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse

August 21st, 2008

Heard so many good things about the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse from Hayashi, decided to get one myself.

Usual Apple quality. Well designed by Apple in California, not so good assembled in Malaysia (or China). Apart from a cosmetic flaw at the bottom, my copy also can’t scroll to the right and I’ll get it exchanged [...]

Lamy Safari Fountain Pen & Mechanical Pencil

August 17th, 2008

Many thanks to my girlfriend for giving me this Lamy Safari pencil to compliment with my fountain pen. Decided to write a short review on both pens.

The Lamy Safari fountain pen is the most recommended entry level pen, selling for HKD 220 (~USD28). I’ve began my quest for the right fountain pen when I got [...]
