After really not liking the default layout on the home screen and missing custom ringtones I decided to hack my iPhone.. well sort of, more like forcefully modified my iPhone.
Here is an older shot of the update.. now the carrier logo is “mkeefeDESIGN” because this one was too L33T for me 
.. and one of the links off of that site offers up a way to change the keypad, but i haven’t done that yet.
I was able to accomplish these visual changes and add my own custom ringtones (no idea why an ipod phone didn’t have this to begin with)
but mine does now. Of course I must caution these mods are not for the inexperienced and failure to follow the steps may result in a sad iPhone.
Here is the app I have been using: iFuntastic
If for some reason the iPhone starts acting weird, just restore it with iTunes and you should be all set.. but
again I am not responsible in any way for the actions caused by modifying your iPhone.
I look forward to how this cool app will evolve over time and when it does I will post about it.
I recently picked up the Canon 30D Digital Field Guide to learn more about my camera that I have had for almost a year now. This book was just what I needed, it quickly walks through the settings and features to get you up to speed. However once we have foundation locked down you are out in the field shooting photos and learning how to make them better. It also touched upon Composition, Lighting and other necessary photography topics that everyone should commit to second nature. If you are a 30D user like myself I highly recommend this book and if you like this site, get it here to help me out with server costs.
While watching some movie trailers I stumbled upon a google tie-in with the Bourne Ultimatum. Now I haven’t a clue what that page holds because according to them I don’t have Flash… um how is that possible?
Well its simple really, this is the string I found in their Javascript sniffer.
var version = [9,0,41]
Unless they are using a feature in Flash that needs that version why would you want to ever lock the potential audience to a minor version number? Honestly I don’t have an answer because it makes no sense. What’s even more funny is the fact I actually have a newer version than requested.. now I didn’t look at the code too extensively but could they actually have locked the site to a specific minor version?
No Flash for You!
