Bragging not Blogging
Posted by Jonathan Wise on Apr 01, 2007Some people have accused me of not being handy. Those people don’t know what they’re talking about. This week, with only an arm and a half, I:
- Re-built a nearly dead PC from parts
- Hacked a broken installer to get ProVideoPlayer working (great software, btw)
- Built a media PC from bits and pieces I found around the Internet that:
- Plays TV shows over the Internet on my TV
- Plays downloaded and purchased content on my TV
- Syncs our cell phone address books automatically every time I come home
- Mirrors the UI and functionality of a $300 device — for free
- Re-created a G4 Cube from parts
- Repaired and re-installed a car stereo, removing my dashboard to do it
I may not build houses from scratch, or soup up cars for fun, but I think I’m pretty handy to have around ;o)
PS: Keep in mind that a week ago, I was excited that I could wrap my arm so I could take a shower without Nic’s help…

I don’t mean to burst any bubbles, but you only managed to do 5 things in 7 days. That doesn’t seem like a whole lot. LOL
Just kidding. I don’t think, actually, I guarantee, that I could not have done that list with both hands in 7 days.
Hope the arm is getting better.
