Today I woke up and decided to try hacking my iPod Touch. Rob at work had done it, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Long story short: mission accomplished! I even figured out how to rearrange the icons on my screen, even though i left the original ones just where they were. You can even switch out the bottom dock icons.
My iPod Touch is now an iPhone minus the phone part. So I've got all of the standard iPhone apps: google maps, weather and stock widgets, notes, Mail, and i've enabled the ability to add calendar events (two lines of code is all it took – adding events to the calendar was disabled for the Touch).
Thanks to the awesome world of hackers and 3rd party developers (you guys rock), i've got the NES emulator, Apollo instant messenger (serves msn, aim, a whole bunch of others), navizon GPS, sketches (like an etch-a-sketch, you even shake it to erase the image), and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am a huge apple fanboy, but i'll be damned if they don't understand that opening the iphone/touch is the way to go.
The only handicap this has is that all the web-enabled services are only useful if i'm on a wi-fi network. With the iphone you can access them through Edge anywhere as long as you've got cellular coverage.
Until the iphone comes to canada, this will do :)
and wow, photographing something that's backlit is quite a bitch, isn't it?

The server my website was hosted on got hacked. So, I've moved my site over to a more secure server.
The Agfa Isola is one of the simplest cameras to hack into a pinhole camera. It ends up as 6x6 focal length 30 mm. With a little bit of brass shim and epoxy glue an internal shutter can be made to operate via the shutter button which has a cable release screw.
A park Rangers hooked me up with a new location to check out in the Delaware water gap. I had heard of this place but must have forgotten it for some reason. Anyway, being a cloudy day, I figured this was the time to check it out. The place was pretty busy, so I had to compose the shot to keep all the moving people out of the it. I couldn't do anything about the moving plants, they don't listen very well.
