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.

Drastic - The Nintendo DS emulator for Android

Phoenix Wright on the 3DS on the left and Nexus 5 on the right In the last decade, the power that has become available to mobile devices has grown at an amazing pace.  Games that were once only available on high end arcade systems or the latest consoles are now playable on devices that fit in your pocket.  Loading up games like Need for Speed, Horn, Shadowgun, Final Fantasy, or even Grand Theft Auto show that mobile gaming has come a long way in a short time. Enter the Nintendo DS, a dual screened mobile system that was released in November 2004 that rendered 3D games and featured a resistive touch screen as well as an impressive game library.  Surely, such a recent system should be difficult to emulate on mobile phones, right?  With Drastic, the NDS emulator on android, the answer is "NO." Drastic is a full speed Nintendo DS emulator that is currently priced at $5.99 on the Google Play store.   There is also a free demo that allows gaming sessions for 3...

Final Fantasy III Android Updated: Now with Cloud saves and Controller Support

Lifesperience is now Raycommend, which can be found here:    Ray Commend   Like the headline says, Square Enix finally updated Final Fantasy 3 with Cloud Saves, as well as support for many physical controllers.  After booting up the updated game on my Nexus 5, I was greeted with the new and very blue cloud save icon on the top right of my screen. In case that you missed it, the cloud save icon is on the top right of the screen. I started a new game and played just enough to defeat the first boss of the game, and once in the overworld, I saved my file and tested the cloud save system.  Afterwards, I quit my game, and logged onto my Nexus 7. The cloud save menu is simple but functional Once the game booted up on my Nexus 7, I once again pressed the Cloud Save icon and was able to continue from my save file.   The interesting thing about this system is that it does not use Google Play games.  It will instead upload to your Google drive ...

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. ...
