2 nice iPhone mods

First, this guy decided to encase his entire iPhone with TiAIN, which is a ceramic coating used to improve the performance of cutting tools.  He's turned it into a business now, and while there's no way I am spending any more money on this, it certainly looks cool.  Maybe iPhone v.2 will be all black like the iPod touch.  Maybe they will coat it in TiAIN after seeing this!

  



And then there was this guy who hacked together a macro lens for his iPhone.  Yeah it looks pretty janky, but check out the results.




Here's a flickr stream of the results.  Wow!

Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper

Ok, so that Diet Dr. Pepper ad where the drink continues to morph into the sweets is a little ridiculous.  And while I am not a big diet soft drink fan, let me just tell you if you have not tried the Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper, then go ahead and pick up one while they are still available.  There is definitely a little cherry garcia inside each bottle.  Although if you don't like that sweet type of taste, go ahead and steer clear of this one.

One can of this is selling on eBay for $2.95 with $4.95 for shipping.  If these actually sell, I think it might be time to head down to the store and split up a few 12 packs to put online!

Anyway, the logo looks kind of whack, but it tastes great.  Any other diet drinks out there that you like?  Coke zero?  Diet Rite?  I try to stay away from soft drinks too much, but sometimes they just hit the spot.  Drink up!

R.I.P. Treo

It's been over 3 years and my treo has served me well but it finally died. The first year I took extreme care. The second I was still careful with it, but this last year it has taken a beating. Lost my case, then dropped it a couple of times on accident, then I left it on our bumper and my wife drove off and I didn't realize it for awhile. I found it shredded, but put the pieces back together again and voila! It fired up for me and helped me keep my life organized. I had to end up using super glue to keep the thing together this year and while it looks like someone took a cheese grader to the top of it, it still worked hard for me.

Then it started to happen last fall - the screen started to disintegrate. It would disappear and act all wonky for a couple of days than it would magically resurrect itself and hum along just fine. As soon as I thought everything was ok, it would happen again. I put up with it for a few months out of my loyalty (or not wanting to plunk down the cash on a new phone)- nevertheless it finally started to drop calls while in conversation and disappear at the same time and then it would not turn back on. So sad. Rest in peace treo! The story does have a happy ending as I finally had a nice excuse to pick up my long-awaited iPhone!
