I’ve been considering creating a Body Modification Community site for a while now. I like BME, however I don’t like having to pay for a membership for BME or IAM. I’ll be thinking about features people might like to see. If you’d be interested in a project like this, please contact me. I’d like to have a free membership for people and have a few options for paid memberships/advertisement. Thanks a lot.
So a year ago, I purchased an Acer Aspire One, and I thought it was pretty cool. There were features about it that I wasn’t crazy about, however. I wasn’t too pleased with the keyboard, and the screen was a bit too small. I ended up selling it because it just wasn’t something I could see myself using a lot.
The other night, I was in Walmart just looking for a tube for my bike when I casually stopped by the electronics department which I do a lot. I just skimmed by the laptops and noticed a new netbook. It was a new Acer Aspire One. The keys were a great feeling and full size! Not to mention, the screen was 11.6″ HD display. This was a million times better. I immediately purchased the laptop to take home and play around with it. So far so good. I’m still playing with it and learning the things it can do. Once I get some more time with it, I’ll be posting a review on it to let people know what I think!
Edit: Ended up selling the Acer to fund a new bike for commuting. Details to come!
For a long time I’ve wanted to start getting in to iPhone development. I’d like to spend some time each day learning more about developing applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I’m going to start with some basic stuff and grow into bigger stuff. When I start doing some stuff, I’ll make sure to post my progress so that everyone can check it out!
Added some links to my sidebar, so make sure to check them out! Also, check out some blogs of people that I know like Mike Centola and Dan Defelippi.

So a lot of people wonder how they can password protect some of their files so no one else has access to them. This tutorial will you show you how to do just that.
The first step would me to open the Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility)
Once the Disk Utility is up, click on the “New Image” button on the top part of the window.

A drop down will show up asking for some information. Name the Disk Image what ever you would like, and choose a location where you’d like to save it.
Enter a volume name in the text field for what you’d like the volume to be named when it is mounted to the desktop.
Choose a volume size from the drop down for a size you’d like to password protect. I chose the 4.7 gb preset because that way, I can burn it to a DVD if I needed. Format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The next step will include the actual password protection:
Click on the drop down menu for Encryption and choose which level of security you’d like to have for your files. You can choose either 128 bit AES encryption, or 256 bit encryption. If you’d like more security, go with 256, however if you’d like it to be a bit faster, then choose the 128.
Don’t worry about anything for the Partitions or Image format options. You can keep them the default.
Next, click the “Create” button, then you’re done! It will take a little bit of time to create that disk image for you, then you’ll be able to access it with the correct password.

When opening the disk image, remember not to check the “Save password in keychain” because otherwise, there’s really no point in having it password protected! If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Or even if you have some other options. Thanks for checking it out.
I decided to create a new blog and keep it up to date. I’d like to share everything about anything I do. I really enjoy anything media relate, including web development, photography, videography, etc. I can’t wait to share this with many more people!
