I'm getting my tech dose over at Engadget when I come across an article about SanDisk suing 25 companies for patent infringement!?!?!

In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power.. Zreen Lantern's light!

So I ended up removing the false ceiling in my kitchen along with the 8 tube lights that were behind it. I then placed 10 3" potlights in the original (drywall) ceiling. I found out later that the potlights that I had purchased where the cheap kind.

There are apparently two ways for a 'renovation' potlight to hold itself into the ceiling.
1 - Using springs that atomatically open up when the potlight is shoved into position (the ones I bought and installed)
2 - Using a wing/flange system that expands via a tightened screw hidden on the inside of the potlight housing

So I got to drill make break a 4" diameter hole in the outside (brick) wall of my house on Saturday :D

I did it so that we can vent the fume hood, that sits above the kitchen oven, outside; as opposed to trying to badly filter the food smells through a carbon filter and back into the house.

Now you're thinking 'what's so special about a drill bit?'. And I must confess, I would have thought that myself just a couple of days ago. But now I know about the super cool D’VersiBIT® System! And, no, I'm not getting paid for this poduct plug :P

Imagine this if you will ... a 54" long flexible drill bit (4" cutting head + 50" flexible steel shaft). Don't believe me? Well then prepare to be amazed! ...

So I went to the 2006 Fan Expo on Friday with my buddies Terry and Tom :D It was so much fun!

Lets see .... I got to meet and fall in love with and take a picture with Morena Baccarin!! (the actress who played 'Inara Serra' on Firefly & Serenity)

Oh! And I got to meet Ryan Sohmer of Least I Could Do fame :D And of course, I got a picture with him and his trusty illustrator Lar Desouza :D:D

Woho! I finally managed to unlock my Samsung SGH-S307 (Rogers) Cell Phone :D And I did it for free!

Ok, So I bought this phone a couple of years back for $200 [I learned the hard way that if you get a free phone - you get what you pay for(Eg. Motorola C333)]. And I tried looking for the unlock method a year ago, but I couldn't find it back then. I guess, now the phone is so old (but still tiny!) that people aren't trying to make money off unlocking it anymore :)

Now for the details

At work yesterday, we discovered that one of our computer SATA cables didn't work.

So I decided to strip off the red insulating jacket (just to make sure everyone knew it was busted). Then I discovered that the attached connector caps also doubled well as clasps (see where I'm going with this? ;) .

To conclude, I now have a geeky spiffy new/old necklace that consists of 4 reddish white wires, 4 steel wires, and 2 SATA connectors w/caps attached to one another. :D

I'm sure by now, everyone has heard of the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. But do you know how it works? More specifically, do you know how it is able to seperate the dirt from the air without a filter?

Well it uses a process called Cyclonic Filteration. The air inside the vacuum cleaner is forced to spin so fast that the dirt/dust in the air literally just falls out. Now this is super cool.
