VMware Virtualization for MAC OS X - VMware

While playing with the Mac, I also installed OpenOffice.org so I can open some files people send me. I synced my entire phone over bluetooth with iCal and I installed VMware Fusion, giving me VMs in OS X! Works like a charm! I'm impressed.

The BeagleBoard: $149 Linux System

Was rereading LinuxJournal's write up over Jailkit, an easy toolkit to setup and configure scp/sftp for specific users, when my eye saw this: The BeagleBoard: a $149 Linux System.

The specs are impressive! I only lack an Ethernet port, but using USB (for power), you could add disk storage as well as a network port. Easy! What could you do with it? Uhm... create a media server with it; build a portable movie center; build a fancy web or database server; create a firewall or proxy server... lots!

I'm thinking putting this inside a small box, take a USB hub with power, a USB Bluetooth dongle, a Bluetooth mini keyboard and a mouse. Add Linux, install VLC and connect your choice of USB disk(s) filled to the brim with HD 720p movies and all you need is a TV with an S-video input and you can watch whatever you brought with you! w00t :nerd:

Build you own smartphone car dashboard mount

Image
Speaking of building it yourself, I've been really annoyed at current Android phone makers that they sell loads of phones without a proper car mount kit. Only Dell, Motorola and a few others have special car mounts for their phones when they come out. All others simply don't. Now you don't really need one that often, but if you like to use the free Google Navigation features of any Android-based satnav tool, you will need a car mount or someone to hold the phone for you. You can buy generic phone mount kits, but they're ugly and expensive...

So I was pleasantly surprised that someone felt the same way and came up with a really easy solution to building your own car mount for less than $10! Genius!

Update: Garmin sells the mount too, if you'd like to buy new, for $25.
