HOW TO: DIY slim duct-tape coin purse

I’m looking for a certain kind of coin purse; small and slim – just so I can get through the day with change, where I would empty it whenever I get home and put it straight into the “piggy-bank”

You’d be surprised how hard it is to find something like that here… unless I was willing to spend north of 2k from brand-named ones (Mont-Blanc coin purses cost more than 8k!)

So I decided that while I’m waiting for a chance to purchase from Amazon, I’d make my own. I’ve taken the liberty of documenting the “project” in case someone else wants to do something similar.

Just do it!

Spot-on article; very much in line with my way of thinking/living. What a relief to know that I’m headed in the right direction 🙂

Here are the rephrased points.

  1. Don’t pick a time or day.
  2. Get agitated.
  3. Remember that time’s a wastin’
  4. Think less, act more Incidentally, this also is something WOMEN, in particular, should take to heart. Notice how women love seeing girl-power success stories. But take a look at what’s common among those “successful/empowered” women. Whether you like to admit it or not, it’s because they think/act like men when it comes to getting what they want. The rest of the women should really take a hint.
  5. Lose the excuses
  6. Stop acting like you’re busy.
  7. Know when you’re reaching your tipping point.
  8. List what you don’t like about your life

And the take-away:

“Just do it” is much easier said than done – and it should be that way. It separates the people who deserve it from those who don’t.

Hackintosh 10.5.5

Finally decided to try the 10.5.5 update on my Hackintosh. Always risky business, doing this sort of stuff; since the desktop is ironically, my primary computer (my real Apple Macbook Pro is just an backup at this point)

The tutorial done by NetKas for upgrading to 10.5.2/3 seems to still apply – and even extends to the Kalyway (which I use) and iAtkos builds of OSx86

I’m reposting the relevant steps here for my own personal reference.
