Hey guys, I’m just testing the new Windows Live Writer. It seems to be handling Wordpress quite well. I’ll keep you posted with a review…

So I was dancing with this chick and….

Let’s see that up close…

That’s just nasty…

The wonderful folks over at engadget.com have written up a quick and dirty guide to using the iUnlock program to unlock your iPhone for any carrier. Here’s a basic set of instructions:

Quick and dirty guide to getting iUnlock running
First, you’ll need iUnlock + nor + the .fls file, which is available in ZIPs all over. We’ve got the app here, but it doesn’t have all the files necessary. Good list of links here, or try here, here, here, here, and here. This is still developing, but apparently you:

• Make sure you have firmware v1.0.2
• Drop those three files on your iPhone (and possibly chmod 555 iUnlock)
• Stop the comm center (launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist)
• Run ./iUnlock ICE03.14.08_G.fls nor
• Watch your iPhone get unlocked?? (About 20 minutes, supposedly)
• Minicom into the tty.baseband
  minicom -s
  setup modem as /dev/tty.baseband
  type:
  AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0 [enter]
  AT+CLCK=”PN”,0,”00000000″ [enter]
  AT+CLCK=”PN”,2 [enter]
  (If you cant write in the minicom, start commcenter again and stop it again)
• Run /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
• AGAIN: we CANNOT confirm this is the correct method to use iUnlock! Just what we’ve gleaned from the internets, do not consider this a guide.

Zero guarantees, people! You might be able to find more information here. Big ups to the iphone.unlock crew, Draken (who let us know our instructions should be workable at this point), and, of course, the iPhone Dev Team. Just don’t whine to us if your iPhone gets bricked. Let us know in comments if it works for you!

One of the greatest writers and speakers of all time was Mark Twain. Below are a few quotes taken from letters, stories, speeches and conversations dealing with subjects we see as still important and relevant today.

“You can’t reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and it thumps about things which the intellect scorns.” 1889

“One’s admiration of a perfect thing always grows, never declines; and thus us the surest evidence to him that it is perfect.” 1880

“The man who is a pessimist before 48, knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little.” c.1902

“Spending one’s capital is feeding a dog on his own tail.” 1889

“One of the most admirable things about history is, that almost as a rule we get as much information out of what it does not say as we get out of what it does say.” 1901-02

“Mosques are plenty, churches are plenty, graveyards are plenty, but morals and whiskey are scarce. The Koran does not permit Mohammedans to drink. Their natural instinct does not permit them to be moral.” 1869

“Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people’s countries.” 1909

“For twenty-five years I have been a woman’s rights man… I should like to see the time come when women should help to make the laws.” 1901

“It isn’t what a man has that constitutes wealth. No-it is to be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth.” 1869

“[The conscience:] Man’s moral medicine chest.” 1906

That’s right folks. It seems that Winn-Dixie has this little winner on clearance marked down from $10.99 to only $5.49:

• Charges up to 2500 mAh batteries.
• Provides 12-hour charge for up to 4 AA & AAA NiMH cells or one 9V battery.
• New modern design & graphics. (Who cares?)
• Includes two 2000 mAh AA, two 750 mAh AAA batteries & wall adapter.
• Limited lifetime warranty
• Model: PS13B

Seriously, I don’t think you can beat this one. I grabbed all the ones on the shelf as soon as I got a price check. The clerk that let me use her shopper card at the Self-Checkout dropped her jaw when she saw me ringing all of them up

Happy shopping!

Hey guys, we’re just your average everyday racist family! We like to spend time together, go camping, lynching people that aren’t Aryan.. wait, what?!?

Wow. Words cannot describe this video.

In the news today is a story of Peter Braunstein who dressed up as a firefighter for a Halloween party in 2005 and then assaulted a former co-worker. In his letter to the judge prior to sentencing, he stated, “In fact, I did plan the crime intently, the madness resides in the fact that I had no motive or intent. Thus, once I attacked the victim, I had no idea why I was there, or what to do.” Does anyone else see the complete and utter contradiction? “[He] did plan the crime intently” but “[He] had no motive or intent”. There is no way a person, sane or crazy, could not have intent but plan something “intently”. It makes absolutely no sense! The defense attorney tried to convince the jury that Braunstein’s mind “broke”, but they took less than four hours to find him guilty. I have to say that this man obviously had intent if he brought a VIDEO RECORDER to tape the incident. I think this is a matter of getting caught and using the “insanity plea” to try and lessen the consequence. I hope this guy gets the recommended sentence of 25 to life.

Beginning June 17th, Father’s Day, all AT&T/Cingular customers with a Family plan will be able to add a new Family text package. This new package includes unlimited text to include all multimedia and instant messaging to any carrier for up to five lines for only $29.99/month.

I’m sure this is going to please a LOT of AT&T customers. It just doesn’t make sense to use the instant messenger knowing you’ve only got 200 messages for 4.99/month on each phone. Any teenager could blow up your bill in a week without trying.

If you could just recall these faulty Samsung Sync phones, this family will be in AT&T bliss. If you haven’t heard, yes, that bubble in the middle of your screen is happening to lots of people. Contact Samsung for a replacement.
