Happy 2012

Well it's 2012 and lets hope for a good year.  I can see already that a lot will change as each year sure has been an exponential difference can't wait to see what this year has in store!

One thing I learned living closer to the City in Prague this year is Czech's win the official pyro maniac award of 2012 Jesus Christ they started at like 7pm and it was completely constant till I went to bed around midnight!  I mean boom boom every 2 seconds.  We got lucky baby's slept through it all.

Guess whats back back again Dell Streak is back tell your mom


first imageWell the Dell Streak lives again after a brutal fall the screen was cracked... Sad sad story and with no professional repairmen available for this product I had to take matters into my own hands.  With the assistance of a brilliant China eBay'er I was able to have the parts shipped to my door and begin surgery.


I will be honest it was scary at times I wanted to give up.  I was worried even with this massive transplant that my lack of expertise with this type of activity would render the Dell Streak useless and be officially pronounced dead however I did it!




Glass, LCD  and touch assembly all carefully installed and working great!

The 9 lives Dell Streak has been passed off to the wife

Here is some info for any future Google stumblers with a cracked screen.

Personal experience is be careful lot of small pieces easy to lose a button!  Do not try to pry the giant metal plate out.. and ummm have fun trying to get those little ribbons back in you can just yank them out but there are little flap hinges on the top you need to lift to put in...  if you plan on saving the gorilla glass make sure you do not scratch the back when prying off the LCD.

It really wasn't that bad good luck.

blackhole sun everquest booyah

Been so tired lately ugg I think it is the fact that we get about 1 hour of sunlight.  Just got up today about 7am which is the time to wake babies but im chilaxin for some time before getting them up.  

For those who remember I was huge into Everquest II and jut noticed that I can play my old character for free now!  I played around with that for some time yesterday and I must say the game still holds up.  I am not sure if I really will start playing it as the last thing I need is another computer hobby but I tinker with it hehe.
