I don’t know about you but everytime I buy a big shoe rack for me and my girlfriend, it breaks down after a month. But here’s a great way to make a shoe rack for any of your walls. I will be moving in 3 days to a new apartment so this is very handy and jit (just in time!) baby!

We bought poplar boards from the trims aisle of Home Depot. We chose boards 1/2 inch thick and 6 inches wide (1/2×6x3) for wide lower shelves and 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches wide (1/2×3x3) narrow top shelves. We cut the wood to size (in our case 22 inches) with the handsaw in the store.

We also bought large and small L-brackets to attach the wood to our walls and appropriate hardware: short screws to attach the brackets to the wood planks (.5 inch), longer screws and plastic drywall anchors to attach the brackets to the walls. I think we used 1.5-inch #6

Here’s a cool hack on how to activate your iPhone immediately!

Notice you WILL NOT KEEP YOUR NUMBER! DON’T DO THIS IF YOU WANT YOUR # STILL

1. Call up AT&T: 1-877-800-3701

2. Tell them to CANCLE your phone number migration. Tell them you want a new number.

3. Once they do this you will receive an email in minutes telling you your activation was cancelled.

4. Reactivate.

5. Your iRock turns into an iPhone!

Here’s a cool iPhone review video from your regular homie joe. Although the internet connection was done using WiFi here, I’d say the iPhone is very fast even for WiFi. I suspect slower loading times for Cellular network though…

Hmmm… There seems to be some kind of preliminary problems with the iPhone although I personally like it myself.

We will see if this is just one time thing or if the iPhone is too early for it’s release over the next couple days…

I guess this user was experiencing the problem of not being able to use another headphone for the iPhone than the one that came with it.

I think this is a big problem since the iPod doesn’t have this problem. Maybe you should wait till they come out with version 2 before getting one…
