Here’s a cool DIY on how to make an iPhone dock with binder clips!

Here it is boiled down into just 61 words: Clamp a medium sized clip to the iPod end of your cable, connector side out. Remove the wire handles and tuck the cable along the fat edge. Take a bigger clip and clamp that onto the smaller one, so that the cable runs between the gap. Remove the handles. Add iPod. Try not to knock it over and break the connector.

Well it seems at least Barack Obama or his campaign managers are smart on the latest technology, they created an iPhone app for getting involved in this politics race.

Knock yourself out if you are for Barack Obama.  Now, where’s McCain’s iPhone app?  His probably too old to even know what an iPhone is.  Oh well, I’d really like to see a President who’s updated on technology.

PC fans have always been a major component of PCs in the last decade but there’s a way you can passively cool your computer using no fans at all.  You can follow this cool DIY on how to passively cool your computer without any fans, it could be a great knowledge just in case you need to build a completely, noise-free computer.

I have wanted to build a fully passively cooled computer case since I had my first Athlon Thunderbird 800 MHz. That time the fan noise was amazingly high, and manufacturers didn´t much care about the noise levels, and didn’t offer products for building a quiet PC. Nowadays a quiet PC is not much of a challenge to build, but totally silent? It would require that there were no moving parts at all. But of cource there has to be the compromise of a hard-drive. One could buy a SSD drive, but at least I don’t have that kind of money to spend.

I have to admit that I have been blessed with lots of desire to learn new types of food.  Lately, I have been mastering the art of making Thai food, my favorite is Tom Kha Gai, which of course, requires some coconut milk.

Although I have heard that coconut milk is simply the juice from the coconut milk, I have never seen it in person but I did find this cool food hack on how to make coconut milk.

I think coconut milk has amazing taste when you make Thai food.  Of course, there’s many other Asian dishes you can make too but most of coconut milk in the world are still coming from Thailand.

Later on, I will have to post some pics on how to make Tom Kha Gai, it’s really good.

Squeeze out the ambrosia. They call it milk but it’s a lot like cream. Use it for cooking, making umbrella drinks. The mix of fats goes well with the deepwater fish you speared under that navigation buoy with your giant speargun.

I’ve seen this Ab Solo machine at my local gym about 9 months ago and sadly, it’s a good machine but I find it an ineffective, expensive ab machine.

Of course, it’d be good for gyms, but I would have second thoughts about having one in my house, it’s too bulky, expensive, and the balls are kinda dangerous. I actually have experience breaking one of my fingers doing these exercise, I highly recommend you stay away from this type of exercise, there’s so many other safer ab machines out there.

I’ve even seen this machine break down on the first couple days of use.

Just getting my 2 cents in on the gadget world with real consumer experiences on this product.  Don’t shoot me now, Ab Solo.  We consumers only want the truth, not the hype. :p

If you wanna make it better, I suggest you start with safer balls that won’t end up in broken fingers and lawsuits.

The revolutionary new Absolo core abdominal intensive training system has created an international fitness phenomenon. Facilities, trainers and exercisers are raving about this interactive, fun and effective way to develop abdominal strength, cardio endurance and muscle coordination.

Looks like someone was able to install OS-X on a Dell Mini, nice…

The steps to Leopard-ize the mini are actually quite simple and easy to follow. After you download the slipstreamed ISO and burn the 3.2GB ISO to a DVD you boot up the Dell mini off a external DVD drive (Press 0 (Zero) at the BIOS screen) and installed Leopard as usual.

Here’s a really cool DIY on how to make your own fabric wall art.  I am not an artist but it looks really cool and I think you can apply this nicely to your home.

One of my very stylish friends has assembled several cool stretched fabric panels, which are hung in her home. I love the big, bold statement that this fabric art creates, so when I recently found directions on how to do it, I thought I’d pass it along to you. This tutorial is for a 20-inch-square fabric art piece.

Well, the great news is that WiMAX service that I have been complaining about for years is finally here but only still in Baltimore.

We should expect WiMAX to become available in more areas and why is this good?

WiMAX is about 5-10 times faster than Sprint’s CDMA network, meaning this WiMAX broadband card will allow you to surf at Cable DSL speeds anywhere you go.

But until there’s more coverage, you will have to wait.

This WiMAX card is actually cheaper than most broadband cards out on the market today at $59.99 plus there’s no contract, a really good deal if you ask me.

As it’s the first of its kind, the E100 is the only XOHM card we’ve tested so far, so we can’t compare it to other WiMAX equipment. Our overall average speeds were 2.3Mbps down and 915Kbps up, which fits into Sprint’s advertised range of 2-4 megabits down and 500-1500Kbps up. But speeds varied widely depending on signal strength: we achieved downloads as fast as 7.1 megabits, and as slow as 620 kilobits.
