Remote Control Lawnmower

February 12th, 2007 No comments

Now this is something I would really like.  It combines two of my favorite things.  Remote controlled toys and the quest for the perfect lawn (I’m a lawn Nazi) .  It’s the remote controlled Lawn Mower.  This would really work for me.  I could be sitting on my patio, drinking a beer, and cutting my grass at the same time.  Although, I always thought a Roomba hack might work better.  I need the straight lines of a perfectly cut lawn.

Hacking the 360

January 27th, 2007 No comments

Well, I was a little bored tonight and started taking apart my XBox 360 ( there goes the warranty :( ).  It’s a reall pain in the ass, some of the those little clips are tough to get open.  I don’t want to break anything.  I also had to pull the Microsoft Security sticker (any way to buy a replacement??).

I finally managed to wrangle the case open.  I watched a video from Google Video (thanks Shishnet! ;) ), and that really helped.  My only problem is that I do not have a Torx 7 Screwdriver.  It looks like I’m heading off to Radio Shack tomorrow.
