Its like clockwork. Its like art.

Clayton Boyer is a wood worker, or a conductor conducting a symphony comprised entirely of the wood section.

He is also a clock designer and a bit of an engineering marvel in my opinion. His clocks are masterpieces that rival convention and inspire oohs and awes.

Bird of paradise

The designs vary from intricate to simple elegance. His designs are also up for grabs. He believes that most anybody can re-create one of his creations by following his plans which he sells through his website.

Review: Dolphin Browser for Android

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I’ve been playing with a browser I found by accident in Android Market for about a day now, and I’m quite impressed. I was happy with the built in browser, but this one gives customizable gestures, tabs, and a whole slew of popular sites, and social links as a catalog of bookmarks by default. Its interface is well thought out, the tabs can hide to give up that valuable real estate.

The browser even supports multi-touch for the cynogen builds, which I haven’t tested, but I am willing to bet it makes the power of this little browser that much more awesome.

I would highly recommend this browser to anybody, especially if you are a web junky like me.

Dolphin Browser (Social&Smart) was developed for Android by MGeek. Get it in the Android Market or use your scanner here or through the official website: http://sites.google.com/a/mgeek.mobi/browser/

Make a gadget screen protector on the cheap

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

I recently became the proud owner of a Sprint HTC Touch, and as such I wanted to protect the screen from getting scratched up. But my not-so-fat wallet protested at the $20 for commercial screen protectors.

I mean, it is plastic right? $20 is a lot in my opinion. But even if you do go that route, it is still cheap insurance. I chose to find my own way, and I came across this article on instructables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-your-own-screen-protector./

I added my own spin on things, since I didn’t want to use the soapy water solution.

After placing the tape, I used a credit card to smooth it from one end to the other to lay it down while removing air bubbles. Worked out pretty well.

After its placed its just a simple step of cutting the excess off…

And that is it. You just protected your gadget for free (if you had the tape laying around like I did).

I hope this helps some of you. With today’s economy, we need more tips like these.
