How To: Hide Zi8 Record Light
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Nothing is more aggravating than recording a video and then finding out later that your video is ruined due to an overly bright recording light. With the Kodak Zi8 pocket HD camera, this problem seems to happen quite often. You cannot record in low light or record any glossy type surfaces due to the record light being so bright. All of the videos have a red tint or a red dot right in the center of them.
Fed up with the red cast and red dots in my videos, I decided to do something about it. I was going to put tape over the light but then I realized, tape would eventually come off and then it’d leave a sticky residue on the camera. So the next best thing to do was to paint the darn thing! I didn’t want to paint the outside because I figured it’d be more work than what it is and it’d also take away from the over all appearance of the device. I found out you can remove the lens cover and gain access to the light post from within the lens cover.

Quick Tip: Remove Firefox 3 New Tab Button
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009Nothing annoys me more than having new features added to applications and not having the ability to optionally control said “feature”. In my opinion Firefox 3 is guilty of this. I do not enjoy the new tab button that is placed next to the browser tabs in Firefox 3. There is no good way to disable the button from the preferences or even through the about:config panel.
There is however a simple plugin that allows you to disable the new tab button with ease.
One Drop Sovereign
Friday, October 30th, 2009
Craftsmanship at it’s finest. Words cannot describe how badly I want one of these. Pure titanium build, precision machined, perfectly balanced, and amazingly aesthetically pleasing. Did I mention you can spark it on the ground as well? You can do that with any titanium, but what sets the Sovereign apart from other titanium yoyos is the price. The One Drop Sovereign is estimated to go for $170 US. Some people might think that’s expensive, but for a titanium, that’s a VERY good price, an amazing feat actually. Most titaniums go from around $399 to $600 US. One Drop managed to make the Sovereign affordable.
That is one of the reasons why I love the company so much and the reason why I love the guys behind One Drop. They really bring back what yoyoing is supposed to be about. With their great attitudes, outlook on life and the hobby, the One Drop guys are just all around great people. The philosophy of the open company just strikes a chord with me. One Drop represents everything I believe in, in yoyoing. That’s why I am dedicated to them for the rest of my yoyoing career. I cannot describe in text how One Drop makes me feel. To me, they are what I have been wanting out of the community for the last 14 years that I have been throwing.
I hope to add the Sovereign to my collection. I know it’s going to be a blast to throw!
Mad love guys.
