Pimpsn’Fros: a little shameless self promotion

March 19th, 2010

My friends over at FunkySpaceMonkey put this together of one of the iPhone apps I have developed. All the images and graphics I did ( I had some help cutting out hats and fros) but the rest is all done in Photoshop.

Get the app here!

What A Ride!

A little sketch of what my day feels like every day. Hang on tight and don’t let go! But really did this for a client, but its definitely how I feel some times.

Monster Mobile Audio

March 17th, 2010

So my pals over at Area-41 are revamping their layout, and closing down their brick and mortar location. They have decided to go mobile and take their expertise on the road. With this new venture, comes time for a new logo. Thats where I come in. I did the old Alien logo for them, and whipped up a little Roth/ Rat Fink inspired monster for them. Started on paper, then digitized. Not quite as easy as prisma colors and vellum, but the vector side is coming along. Simple and bright is what they wanted. So that it could be used in plenty of different media formats.monster final

A Little Change

March 17th, 2010

So, I am taking this site to a different direction. It will be more for my own use to promote my art and design. This will be more of a show case for me, as a designer, and less of me as a tech guy.More about my my tattooing and my photography and graphic design. Maybe even some of my coding..but mainly the design side of it. No more of the just iPhone reviews, and hacking stuff, thats all moved over to Funkyspacemonkey.com…go check it out as well.

Install a 750 gig hard drive in your MacbookPro

September 3rd, 2009

This is borrowed from 9to5Mac.com

We reported earlier today that Toshiba was shipping the biggest portable drives that would fit in MacBooks at 640GB. A few readers wrote in telling us that the 750GB drives from Western Digital are actually shipping and in stores now – and even though they are thicker, they fit in most MacBooks. We were skeptical.
However, today MDN points to a service called MyService that will install one of these 750GB beasts into your MacBook/Pro for $375. They are Apple Authorized so the install doesn’t void your warranty and they’ll transfer your data for free. Most importantly, they verify that these 12.5mm, 750GB drives actually fit in Unibody MacBook/Pros:
These drives are slightly higher than standard 2.5″ drives but fit perfectly in all Unibody MacBook Pros, the 13″ MacBook Unibody and the 17″ (Silver Keyboard) MacBook Pro.
$375 a pretty steep price for squeezing an extra 250GB into your Unibody MacBook/Pro, however.
Never fear cheap bastards! We had a look at Amazon and the exact same 750GB laptop hard drive is shipping with a USB enclosure and selling for only $169. That’s way less than half the price and you get a USB enclosure to put your old hard in after you perform the transplant. You can then put your puny 500GB hard drive in the USB enclosure. You’ll need to take the drive out of the USB enclosure and install it in your MacBook yourself…but thats not to hard.
