That’s right. Will and I are among the very first handful of people in Dubai with working iPhones. After confirming from the only guy we knew with an iPhone that the anySIM unlocker was working with an Etisalat SIM card, we made my sister buy us two US-spec 8GB models and FedEx them immediately. 2 […]
I am sure I posted this years ago, but I can’t seem to find the entry. I recently re-found the original website after talking about it with a friend. This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Daniel Rozin’s mechanical “mirror” is made up of 830 small tiles of wood, each on its […]
It was a long learning curve. In order to get technology, including cellphone, phone service, DSL, etc, working properly in Dubai, you’ve got to know what the hell you’re doing, and you’ve got to play in the “gray area” of the rules. For this reason, I will start a short how-to series here on chrisdiclerico.com, […]
Some of you might remember a few weeks back when I posted about this genius knife block design by Martin Robitsch. The Schaschlik knife block costs $110, and my knives are just not worth it. But for a simple little DIY test of skills, it seemed like a great project. So, as promised, I built […]
Time.com has a great article about what went on behind the scenes during the development of the iPod nano and the decision to lose the Mini entirely.
[0 comments]In case you haven’t been following this for the past week. Many rumors and confirmations last week that led up to this morning’s WWDC (WorldWide Developer’s Conference) when Steve Jobs officially announced that all Apple machines would be using Intel x486 chips by 2007! Yes, hell is now frozen over. Engadget and MacObserver have minute […]
Steadycam setups usually cost hundreds of dollars. This guy made his own, for $14. It’s super simple, about an hour of work, and probably 85% as effective as a $700 professional version. So good. I don’t have a friggin video camera, but when I get one, I am definitely building this.

You can make a dope looking 35 mm pinhole camera out of paper if you have the plans and the patience. Here are the plans. Good luck. This is really pretty fricken sweet.
In 1979, a Czechoslovakian magazine published the plans for the Dirkon Paper Pinhole Camera.
“Its creators, Martin Pilný, Mirek Kolář and Richard Vyškovský, came […]
New York Newsday ran a short story about the Altoids Battery packs today, along with a bunch of other stories about recycled products and creativity. It’s a nice piece. Actually, I think the write-up is better than everything else that has been written. I have to thank Joe Amodio, for being so nice, for making […]
The Altoids iPod Battery Pack is in this month’s MacWorld Magazine (on shelves now!). It’s a short little article with a nice picture. They did the right thing and contacted the other guys who previously made battery packs like mine. That was pretty cool (I told them to do it). Drew Perry finally got some […]
By now you all know about the Altoids iPod battery I made, and media coverage it has received so far, including the NY Times. Obviously every bottom feeder in all of the city reads thing, so I was bound to get some interesting solicitations. This one is, by far, the best.
I received a package the […]
Here’s a picture just to prove what a nerd I am. My new Treo 650 is so freakin sweet. I think a lot of people have tried to get this work, but I haven’t seen anyone post pictures yet. maybe I’m the first.
This is a picture of Palm VNC running my Powerbook over the internet. […]
