How to personalize and pimp your gear into customized fashion accessories:


When you go out these days and look around you see people take great care in dressing up their mobile devices in all matter of cases, stickers, and even personalized engraving.   Big name manufacturers release multiple colors and special editions of their products to eager fans who eagerly buy them (usually at an inflated price) just to stand out from the crowd.

So what happens when even those are just too common for you?  When you want to truly stand out?

Enter Colorware

For a price this company will take your existing items (limited to this list) and with the magic of their painting process you can have your purple iphone with lime green accents. No case needed.  You can also order a customized item directly from their website.

Since they do take your device apart and reassemble it, your manufacturers warranty is affected. In some cases Colorware does offer their own extended warranty.

Here is there FAQ on that subject.

If after all that there is still a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket and you would like an expensive, custom, exclusive, hand made case to go along with with your custom painted mobile device then you're in luck! I just happen to know of one.


Like with Colorware, the Vaja site has a ton of customized options for a limited selection of products. Options include different colors, magnetic closures, personalization via laser engraving, and different types of leather linings.  

Both companies are highly rated online and their services are used by corporations for custom jobs. 

In my current situation, these are a little rich for me (though I can see the appeal) but currently I'll be sticking with good ol' amazon for my needs.

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

It appears that a someone going by the screenname of  RetroN Labo  on Youtube has successfully hacked the Retron 5 console to run the full version of  Retroarch.  In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan.  As the stock firmware from the Retron 5 is programmed to load games from an original cartridge when it is inserted, this hack appears to run ROM and ISO files, most likely from the SD card slot built into the back of the console. In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission.  After being discovered, Hyperkin has shared their code, and claims that they have removed any infringing code from their console.  The Retroarch group feels diffe

Your Wii's second life as an emulation and media center powerhouse

Lifesperience is now Raycommend, which can be found here:    Ray Commend   While the Wii was initially a very popular console for Nintendo, for most people, it has gone unused for years gathering dust.  More powerful consoles and devices have taken its place and even Nintendo themselves have practically abandoned it with many of their own channels going offline over the last year.  Chances are that by this point, your Wii is long out of its warranty period.  If you're willing to take about an hour of your time, you can turn your old Wii into a great emulation station and decent media center for the kids. The things that you will need to get the most out of your old Wii console are: An SD card (up to 32gb) An internet connection The first thing that you will need to do is softmod your console which will allow it to run unsigned software outside of Nintendo's ecosystem.  Yes!  One of the great things about the Wii (for our purposes) is that you don't need t
