DIY Nissin Di622 Speedlite Snoot and Grid



DIY Snoot + Grid for Nissin Di622 Speedlite

Here’s another cool DIY I made. A Snoot + Grid for my Nissin Di622 Speedlite. This project was inspired by this blog post. The grocery stores here in Cebu are abundant with these black straws. I decided to make the 2 versions. Basically the only difference between the two is the size of the light it produces which can be useful in different situations.

Here’s what it looked like as I glued the straws together using a glue gun.

Here’s a sample shot I made using this DIY Snoot and Grid.

With so many possible uses for this, it’s one of my favorite DIY now :)

Apple Releases 4.02: Bad news to all Jailbreakers

First of all  here is an explanation for four different Scenarios that you mite be in.

1.) If you have upgraded already to 4.01 then you are safe. Meaning you can still Jailbreak and UNLOCK your device.



2.) If you are still on 4.0 then you can also still Jailbreak and unlock using www.jailbreame.com.

3.) If you are still on a 3.xx firmware then you have to manually look for a 4.01 firmware and find  a way to install it to be able to Jailbreak and Unlock.

4.) If you are still on 3.xx firmware and you accidentally click update on itunes to 4.02 then you WILL NOT be able to use www.jailbreame.com anymore UNLESS you have your SHSH Blob back up on CYDIA which will then let you dowgrade back to 4.01 but you havent or dont understand what an SHSH Blob is then most likely you are stuck wioth 4.02.

Windows 7 Tablet VS The Apple Ipad

I think you should be the judge.

For me though, as long as the Windows 7 Table can maintain good batter life and do everything a notebook can do, I will lean towards Windows 7 for  tablet of this size.

Iphone 5 and Ipad 7" Rumor

I heard from a friend last night that there is a rumor going around and I just had to check it out myself, As the article says, i think it is very plausible! Please read on
Here:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20012632-1.html

Now will his alarm all Ip4 users (including me since I ordered one already) j dont think so, most likely the iP 5 will just be a quick fix, relocating the antena to another location on the phone far from reach of our hands/palms/fingers :) I hope.. :)

I also feel that aside from gap, the iphone 4 already has good hardware, and software improvements in the future will be more welcome, I mean I wouldnt upgrade to Iphone 5 if it only had a better camera or louder speakers..
Unless they make it with a slide out qwerty, that would just be perfect and I would shift without a second a thought.

Thanks for reading guys!

Iphone+Facebook Ap+Vonage Ap= Free Calls to all your friends with Iphone or Itouch

Iphone+Facebook Ap+Vonage Ap= Free Calls to all your friends with Iphone or Itouch(with headset attached)

Vonage is the first VOIP service that I found about that doesn’t need a PC to work. It’s a device you plug in directly yo your router and then you connect a landline to it.

Now, they have enabled a new type of service that allows you to do just what I have said on the title.  This is a breakthrough application.

I mean probably only less than 10% of my friends don’t have Facebook, the 90% are right at it everyday.  What better way than to be able to call you friends directly rather than type him a message right? No phone numbers necessary. Thanks to Nelson Uy for the update.  I will do a live test soon, in the meantime, enjoy this video:

Rovio, Your Own Personal Security Robot Guard

Well, it can’t really defend your house from intruders but it allows you to secure your house like you would be hiring a security guard.

I think this video tells you a lot about what this robot can do:

This picture is a live photo of the Rovio Being Sold in the Streets of Hong Kong at $2,380 HKD that’s roughly about $300 USD. Thanks Val Villanueva for the photo and info!

Blackberry Touch Screen + Slide out Keyboard aka Blackberry Torch

A couple of months I heard the rumor of a new BB that would have both touch screen and a qwerty keyboard in one device.

Well, finally, it has been announced.

I think the Storm was a failed attempt at migrating to touchscreen. BB is known and loved for it’s QWERTY Keyboard and it should be on all their devices. Good thing they listened.

The Blackberry Torch:

I think BB users will go crazy with this model and I for one mite go ahead and give it a try.. Maybe ;-)

More info on the device here:

Corsair’s Low Cost Liquid Cooling Redux: the H70

It was about this time of the year when the Corsair H50 was introduced. It was a product well received by critics and enthusiasts as well as the mainstream market who just couldn’t take (or afford) the leap towards full-blown water cooling. In fact, my own H50 is still powering up my 2-year-old rig that I used to write reviews with and its holding its end very well with keeping my E8400 cool even with the blistering heat that we’ve encountered last summer.
Good news to the followers of Corsair’s low-cost liquid-cooling solution since they’re currently preparing the Corsair Hydro Series H70. An improvement on its predecessor boasting of a re-designed waterblock + pump and a denser radiator. I expected something of a 240 radiator as an improvement but Corsair boasts this design lowers down the temperature by as much as 13 degree Celsius than the previous one. Initial tests by performed with Intel’s Core I7 920 overclocked to 3.8 GHz using 1.34 volts if vcore.
As soon as I get my hands of this baby, I’ll do some serious testing. For now, enjoy the pictures…
