I made a HDTV antenna for my new TV using coat hangers, screws, old coat hangers, and a OHM transformer. Cost about $15 and I don't have to give my money to Comcast! I'm already getting 720p and 1080i and most stations

So I made my edit for Slworking2 in this image.

Day 61
Friday June 04, 2010
This morning JR,Travis, and I went to the launch of the HTC EVO 4G phone from Sprint. We went to the Puente Hill's Sprint store. We went to the mall and lined up at 6:50am. The store would open at 8am and we wanted to make sure we got the phones and were in and out before work. We switched to the Sprint network and left ATT. It took roughly an hour for them to switch us over and get all the numbers and phones registered. An hour isn't as bad as some people. The Sprint system crashed since they had too many people try to register phones and sell plans. The network was down from 12pm til 6pm. I found out later that people actually waited that long to get their phones. I'm glad we went early and had everything setup. The phone has been working like a dream since.
So what do I think about the HTC EVO 4G? It's more power than any other phone out there. It is awesome in every way and I have yet to find something about it that I don't like except for the battery. This phone gets a lot of flak for it's battery since there is nothing else they could pick on with the phone. Any phone that does all the things this phone does will have issues with its battery. It will last an entire day though with normal usage.
This phone is awesome.
I bought this at Edward's Luggage: a pocket leather notepad and business card holder, with pen. It is more efficient and portable than any PDA. It costs less than $20 and Edward's Luggage even sells replacement notepads.
I currently have this on my laptop at work. It actually is a good way to see what needs to be done.
Found via Lifehacker:
** GTDer Stefanos Karagos has designed Getting Things Done computer wallpaper that will keep the infamous processing flow in your range of vision all day long.
Chant to yourself "Is it actionable?" with Zen-like calm as you power through your inbox, email or otherwise, every day. The wallpaper GTD flowchart comes straight from the book and is free to use. (No word on how The David's legal team feels about that.) **
Hello.
Just showing yet another shot of Windows customization. Quite lovely, not so harsh to the eyes.
I'm using ResHacker more often now to customize windows, it's quite fun! I haven't code any Rainmter configurations (I'm actually waiting for Kaelri's Enigma 2.5 haha), which is pretty much why I don't have any rainmter config here. Also, I'm working on Firefox more. I would like to credit naaamo2004 for his incredible help on customizing Firefox, I've gotten some things down. So then here, I'm trying to learn HTML and or CSS to create a Home Page or at least create an alternative way to take advantage of Blank Firefox Pages. If anyone can help me with this, It would be great.
Running;
-Windows Vista (base visual)
-Firefox
-CD Art Display
-iTunes
-PowerMenu
-StartKiller
Any questions and or suggestions would be appreciated :]
P.S
ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME ON FIREFOX, PLOX! D;

Oh gee, just wanna thanks Lifehacker for the feature.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

A desktop inspired by one of the wallpapers recently featured in this Lifehacker article.
The wallpaper itself can be found here in various sizes.
The top dock is RocketDock with the Lucid icon set. You can mess around with the icon sizes in the RocketDock settings to get them as central as possible in the squares.
The system stats are modified Enigma configs enlarged to fit in the squares. The stats in the taskbar are the standard Enigma configs.
The CD Art Display skin is custom. Both the modified Enigma configs and the CAD skin can be downloaded here.
The desktop is fairly customizable, you can have any of the stats and the CD artwork in any square. If your resolution is bigger and the CD Art doesn't fit perfectly in a square simply right click the skin, go to 'Skin Editor' and change the size as shown here.
Here's a simple but awesome tip for the wallpaper too! Open it in Paint, flip it horizontally and save as a new wallpaper. Then flip it vertically and save again. Then horizontally again and save again. This will give you 4 symmetrical wallpapers with different shades in different places. With Windows 7 you can then use the default desktop slideshow to have the wallpaper smoothly change between the 4 every 10 seconds giving a simple but really nice effect.
Enjoy :)
My dual Monitor setup. Keeping it dark to ease strain on the eyes, the desktop wallpapers are works of other people.
The wide screen GUNDAM wallpaper is perfect to integrate palette matched rainmeter elements.

In one of the Lifehacker screenshots Rooze had taken a cap of her calendar and used it for her desktop. A number of users wondered how they could do that, but get it to update continuously. I wanted to upload an example with Active Desktop. UPDATE: make sure you've signed in and cookied your session in Internet Explorer before you do this.

Use the cardboard from the IKEA box to make compartments
IKEA Micke Desk $80.00
www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50180046
USB Extension Cord/4-Port Hub $10.00
Power Extension Cord
$5.00
Zip Ties & Tape
$5.00
Keep-A-Cable $9.00
www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Keep---Cable-polyethylene...
Start by getting the Micke desk at IKEA and setting it up. Check the other stuff off and lets get started. Finish the table but don't put the drawers in yet; you'll be getting dirty to set up the wiring down there.
Get all the USB/Power Wires/Etc. you will need to connect. Take the USB extension cord/hub and use 1 USB port on the PC/Laptop. Send the other end down under the table where all the rest will connect. You can also just do this with a PC on the floor and send the USB cord up from the back of the machine. Connect the required USB cables to the USB hub which should now be placed under the table in the "wire-compartment." Use the zip-ties for any extra wiring.
Route the USB wires up from one of the sides. Tape em' down in there and behind the desk so it doesn't get messy! Use a Keep-A-Cable to hold the wires up behind the desk so you don't need to reach for them every time. Finally just connect the power wire for the machine and monitor to the extension cord which you plugged into the wall outlet. Place it underneath the table in the wire compartment.
Bonus tip: Use some of the cardboard from the box to make compartments inside the drawers for different daily use of school materials, etc.!
This is my desk setup at home. This is only the one part. On this part of the desk is my 13" Uni-Body MacBook Pro which is hands down the greatest computer i have ever owned. I upgraded the Ram to 4 GB and the HDD to 500GB. There is also my Verizon Wireless Blackberry Tour for my business and work and then my Samsung Rogue for personal use. There is the Verizon Fios Router and my External Sata HDD Dock with a 500GB WD in slot 2 and a 120GB Seagate HDD in Slot 1. I also have my 80GB iPod Classic (1st Gen classic) and my police scanner, im a fireman so i like to know whats going on.
I found this picture (shown in a window on the desktop) and thought it would be great as a desktop. I created three desktops using the picture and had them cycle randomly every 5 minutes. Font is "Pokemon Hollow" from dafont.
Please feel free to leave any ideas, questions, comments etc below.
Note: I know this desktop is almost a month old but a couldn't be bothered uploading it earlier.
