Get Ready...

With the holidays well underway, we at Geocentric thought it might be a good time to start consolidating and expanding our content.

Don't worry, this won't be causing any hangups in the blog or in the podcast. Instead, we'll soon be rolling out a few noticeable upgrades.

Many of you may have noticed that our official tech resource, Ethan Clark, has begun contributing to the blog and pretty soon our official music aggregator, Patrick, is going to start writing as well. We're not stopping there though. With any luck we'll be able to put together a whole batch of contributors in the near future.

Certainly not least of all we're going to be upgrading the website. As of now we're obviously using Blogger.com for the written posts and bringthemagic.com for our audio posts (although we've tried to integrate the two as much as possible). However with the wonderful assistance of some open source software we'll soon be mashing both of them together into one place under a more suitable domain name.

Don't be bored! Hack Holiday!

Fight being bored to tears by holiday "extra time". This is one of my favourite times of year. Not just because of the Holidays, but due to the fact that I'm given copious amounts of time to hack, download, watch movies, and play. The best website to give you great ideas for a Hacking Holiday is instructables.com. Last year, I added a "killswitch" to my Fender Squire Telecaster. This was a simple hack, and has proven well in the past year.

Have an old iPod video not being used? Put Doom on it. That's right, Doom.

Does your iPhone battery die really quick, and you'd rather not shell out 99 bucks to get a external battery? Use this page to build one yourself.

Impress the family with a stunning cooler like this one. Definately a great party idea.

See? Hacking can be fun, and simple. Who knows? You might be able to MAKE all of your presents this year for cheap! Happy Turkey Day!
