I’ll bet that photo looks familiar. Remember back whenever this little thing hit the interwebs and everybody was saying, “OMG It’s the 3G iPhone!!!”… then it turned out to just be a case for the current iPhone? I remember that. I also remember thinking about how badly I wanted that fucking case, even though I didn’t have an iPhone. Well, with the upcoming WWDC, and the inevitable release of the 3G iPhone, I’m getting ready to pounce on the sudden price drop of the prev. gen iPhone. Wait, wait, don’t tell me how stupid I am for buying old tech. I’ve thought about this very hard. I will probably never buy the data plan, and I never ever use GPS. I see no reason to buy the next iPhone other than the obvious HD space bump, and that’s just not that big of a concern for me. But anyway, I digress. I’m gearing up to buy an iPhone and I thought, “I bet that case would looks super sexy on my iPhone.” So I went to the original blog that it was posted at, WinandMac, where they had a link to the site where you could buy the case. I hopped over to the page, but couldn’t find the phone anywhere. I got a little frustrated, so I shot an email to the owner of the site concerning the case, and he sent back an email that shocked me! His response indicates that this case is NOT for the current iPhone. Keep reading for the conversation…

When my sister asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift, it took me a while to come up with anything other than that sweet smelling green paper. But eventually my mind lingered away from money and clung to something that I had seen a while back on one of my favorite tech news sites, Gizmodo. On May 9 they wrote a short little snippet about a neat looking backpack for your precious notebook, macbook in my case. From the image they provided, it almost looked like a bullet-proof vest, but only for your back. You can view their story here. So, I told my sister that I wanted this neat-o macbook backpack. She ordered it for me, and I got it in the mail just yesterday. I chose the stylish black rather than the pukey Olive Green, or the simply disgusting Wood pattern. The first thing I did was strap it on my back, and take some pretty keen photos! Keep reading for some details and pictures.

I’ve started a new personal project today. It came to me at random, but I loved the idea. I’ve started making my own little book bank. I’m cutting rectangles out of the pages of a book in my room to store money. Now, since I’m posting this up on my website, it’s not much of a secret hiding place, but that isn’t the point. The point was just to have a place to have money outside my wallet. There’s really nobody that read my blog anyways For details and pictures read after the jump…

For lack of a better thing to write about today, I’ll post up a preview of my Nintendo 64 Icon that I’ve been working on. This thing is getting near it’s finishing stages, but it’s been difficult to find time to work on it. This thing is on its way, though.

Well, over at one of my favorite  based communities, there’s a new trend going around. Believe it or not, I actually like this one. “What is that trend?” you might ask? Well, it is putting DVD covers inside of a DVD case, and making that the icon for your movies. That way it looks like you’re shuffling through a real library of DVDs in CoverFlow. Over at MacThemes there are a couple people with templates, but nobody has released theirs yet. I took the template provided by the gracious Laurent Baumann and stretched it out to make it into a DVD Case. I’ve saved that .PSD and I’m releasing it here today. Hopefully I’ve got permission from Laurent. When he posted the PSD, he said, “Here is a resource I made. You can use it wherever you want (icon, skin, etc), as soon as you credit me ,” So I hope I’m ok. Hit the jump to see the icons in action and a Download Link.
