Battle Field Heroes

I just recently started to play the new battlefield heroes and I've been blown away by it. The game is insanly fun to play and is free. It's an interesting 3rd person shooter but I has some rpg elements as your characters level up and gain new abilities. Very Addicting.

Build: Monitor Mod

I have this pretty cool monitor mod on this forum by someone that calls themselves shadowlord. He got bored looking at his plain old 17" LG LCD and decided to spruce it up a little. It has the apple inspired glass screen and a bunch of added LED's to light up the screen. I think that it is a vast improvement. There are more pictures and the steps that he went through on his forum post that can be found here. Not posting as often as I would like, looking forward to some Wii hack posts soon as I have just recently gotten into the Wii Hacking scene. Keep on building.

Google 411

I found a very interesting article written by one Garett Rogers about the true reason for google to make the google 411 service in which you call the number and ask work the location of a business and it provides you the directions to such business. Apparently there isn't much commercial applications for it, but they are using the service to create a large database of recorded voices for voice to text recognition. Sounded pretty cool, the article can be found here.

Build: FireFox Search bars

Well it has been a while since I've last posted something so I thought I would add a small project that I had just recently finished. I've all ways been disappointed that for FireFox there has never been a search bar for google images. Sometimes I'd just rather look up images of something rather then look it up on google. So I though hey why don't I just make my own search bar plug in. So I looked around and this article on the Mozilla site really help you understand how to program the search bars. I've actually made two search bars, one for google images and one that searches google for GBA Roms. A digital copy of a game that you can play if your have a corresponding emulator. Anyways the GBA Search and the Google Images Search can be found there to download. Pretty impressed that the google images has been downloaded so far 100 times in 3 days and that the GBA search has be download 20 times. Pretty easy to program one yourself but I would help to know XML. Anyways I encourage everyone to try to make one themselves, download the two that I have made and to review the ones I made so that I can make them public and not just experimental. Keep building.

Build: Electronic picture frames

I found this very cool guide for turning your old laptops in a digital picture frame that you can post of your wall. Doesn't seem like it's that complicated of a build but what I really think that is interested about is that he found thin power cords that match the colour of his wall. It's very difficult to detect the cables, unless you are looking for them.Electronic picture frames have gotten pretty cheap recently but still a cool idea for any old laptops laying around the house. The entire build can be found here. Keep on building.

Build: Multi Touch Surface

I haven't been posting much since I've sort of started my exams today, but I will try my best to keep it up to date. I recently found this very interesting build for a multi-touch surface that seems pretty cool. It use internal refraction to work and the disturbance when it is touched. Very interesting build and even has a pretty cool video to show it off. The link can be found here. I've also added the video here if your interested to watch it.

Bacon Crazy

I just thought that I would post two different recipes that I found based on the best food every invented, Bacon. Both recipes seem to look very good but they will probably kill anyone that eats them. They both seem to start out the same way with the cooking of a bacon weave. The first one, the bacon explosion, seems to be a layer of bacon stuffed with Italian sausage and crispy bacon. Warning as they do state that it has at least 5,000 calories and 500 grams of fat. This is the more healthy between the two recipes in my opinion. The second recipe seems to be some sort of bacon burrito, a layer of bacon stuffed with melted cheese. I don't know if it would taste good but it would definitely be something to try. The bacon explosion can be found here while the bacon burrito can be found here. I know this post doesn't really go with the whole theme of my blog but it's bacon and I love it. Hopefully I'll get into the flow of doing more posts.
Keep Building.
