machines for nothing

A while back I made a SummerBoard theme for your hacked iPhone. I sent it over to be added to the Installer app, but they sure are taking their sweet time in getting to it.

That is why I have decided to make the theme available here, so you can put it on your phone anyway.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Download Zing

   Download the theme here, and unzip it.

2. Jailbreak

   If your iPhone is not already jailbroken, you will need to go ahead and do that. The exact route changes every time Apple comes out with a new version of the iPhone firmware, but here is a link to the method that I have used several times. It works.

On June 6th, the super Indian babe M.I.A. will be playing at McCarren Park Pool, accompanied by Toronto electronica band Holy Fuck.

I’m super excited because I’m a huge M.I.A. fan, but have yet to see her live. If you’re not familiar with her music, you should check out her (omg) hit single, “Paper Planes.” If that floats your boat, then why not give her two albums a listen: “Kala” (2007) & “Arular” (2005). I enjoy both of them.

Tickets cost $37.50, and go on sale March 29, 2008 at 11am.

edit: I lied. Go get your presales now!

Subject: girl talk new album leak is a fake

hey everyone, the fake leak of my album is apparently popping up all over the internet. i keep getting emails/myspaces about it

if possible, spread the word that it is a fake.

it doesn’t sound anything like the new album. it doesn’t sound anything like any live sets i’ve ever done. i’m not going to judge it, but everything (sample source, quality, production) is VERY different from what i’m doing. i had nothing to do with it.

thanks

If you weren’t able to grab tickets to Hot Chip‘s show on April 12th at Terminal 5, then tomorrow is your lucky day.

They’ve added another NYC show on April 8th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 21st, at noon for $35 (the password is madeinbrooklyn).

I’m going to both shows. I mean, how can I not… the Williamsburg show is essentially just down the street!

I’m a picky person- especially when it comes to my computers. I like things the way I like them. This is how I like my Mac:

The Dock

I like my dock small. But not too small. In the pre-Leopard days, I would make the dock as small as possible, but now with the new 3D dock background that just looks silly. I don’t like hiding the dock. Magnification is a must (mostly because it looks cool), and I always set it to just under 50%.

As far as non-app dock items go, I always keep it in the following order: Applications Folder, Home Folder, Downloads Folder, (and Trash). I also drag frequently used servers to the dock, just to the right of my Home Folder, for easy access.
