In my previous experiences with removing the sim tray, I got fed up with using household items that were slippery between the figers, too long, or not quite the right diameter so I designed what I call The "iTool". At just under 2" long, this unique and innovative tool has been specifically engineered to open the sim card tray on the Apple iPhone. It is made out of galvanized steel and has a flexible rubberized coating on the handle. The unique shape provides a comfortable, controlled grip and fits perfectly between your finger tips. In my opinion the iTool is the best way to remove the sim card tray. The iTool will soon be available for purchase on www.theitool.com for $5.99. Meanwhile, you can get it on eBay for the same..."

Andru, being more grounded than I am as far as fashion is concerned, suggested that the video playing watches I was looking at (I was searching DealExtreme for MP4 Watch) were all profoundly lame.

Recently during a power outage I realized the need for a way to keep my iPhone charged without mains power to keep me going - so I started researching solutions. More recently, at the Consumer Electronics Show (where we were shooting a http://video.gearlive.com/video/category/ces-2008 TON of video), my friend http://www.andruedwards.com Andru's iPhone died every day because of how much usage it was getting. So I looked around for simple and easy charging solutions. For a power source I decided on a lithium-ion battery pack, since they have such great energy densities. The pack I used was from an old Qualcomm phone, which I bought with charger from http://www.allelectronics.com All Electronics, a surplus electronics shop. They don't have many Li-ion battery packs now, but sellers on eBay carry them very cheap. For example, you can get a HUGE Sony camera battery and..."

When the screen broke on it I was very saddened - though I moved on to a customized Kodak V570, I figured the old camera might still be useful. For a couple of months my old camera sat on my desk, staring into my soul with its beady little lens. I knew it was no good for interactive photography any more since its screen was quite broken. So what's the least interactive kind of photography you can get? That's right! Time lapse! For those not in the know, time lapse photography constructs a video from pictures taken at long intervals, causing very slow motion to speed up to something appreciable. Normally you need a very expensive camera and remote timer rig combo to do time lapse photography, but today you will learn how to make one out of a broken digital camera (worthless), a handful of electronic parts ($6), and a few hours of your time (priceless?). If you want to follow along, there are plenty of broken..."
