Celestial Smiling Face (with UFO!)
I wish I had an L-series zoom lens but I had to make do with my cheapo Tamron instead :( Doubt anyone captured the UFO as well :)
Wedding Photos - Part 2
Here are the final set of photos from the wedding, shot by the extremely talented Lakshal Perera (aka Lucky aka Mulletgod). Obviously there were many more taken but these are my favourite pics.
Turning your iPod Touch into a phone!
So I wanted to turn my iPod Touch into a phone and it’s very possible (via VoiP). A few people have done it successfully so I thought I’d share the process here:
- Download the fring application from the Apple App Store on your Ipod Touch (2nd Gen only) or iPhone. This (free) app enables you to call Skype users, Google Talk users, MSN users and a few other IMs with voice.
- You’ll need a pair of microphone head or earphones for this to work correctly. I’m using the standard iPhone headphones here (note the four conductors on its headphone jack) which have an inbuilt microphone. The iPod Touch headphones only have two conductors so there’s no in-built microphone :(
- Next, login to fring, signup with an account (it’s free) and then sign into your Skype, Google Talk, MSN, etc… account to make calls through those services. Obviously you can use Skype to Skype Out to regular phones so it’s very cool.
You can buy microphone earphones from Apple directly (the standard iPhone earphone which will work OR these pricer ones. ) or I’ve heard a cheap Philips microphone connector works in conjunction with a standard mic in much the same way.
So as long as you have Wifi access, you can use your iPod Touch 2G as a phone without Jailbreaking it :D

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Copy and paste. Flash in Safari? Yes please. They also need a pleasefixtheipodtouch.com because it should be able to take photos & use GPS like the iPhone. Via Pleasefixtheiphone

Cracking Open the 4th Gen iPod Nano's
I tried opening my 4th Gen 40GB old skool iPod a couple of years back and broke mine. Don't try this at home! Via CNET UK.
Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!
