Macworld San Francisco.

Posted on December 28th, 2006 by phiber811, under John, Modding News, Publicity, main.

Its getting to be that time of year again. Macworld time. However, unlike many years past (pretty much all of them), I now live on the west coast. This means that I’m driving to MacWorld. Now, why did I rarely make the trip to NYC for MW there? 1. it was summer. 2. it was NYC. 3. I lived in Richmond VA, was poor, and couldnt afford the 5 hour drive. Now, I live in Portland, and am not poor. I’m gonna drive ten hours, from PDX, to San Francisco, attend macworld, and rock it. If you’re a MYM fan or a MacMod fan, you should keep an eye out while you’re there!

If you know me, or know of me, live in the PDX area, and want to go to MWSF, I’ll be driving down on the 7th, and coming back on the 10th. If you want a ride, you can email me at jhart (@) modyourmac dot com and let me know. I could use the company for sure. However, any passengers would be expected to cover their own expenses. Duh.

With that in mind, we’ve got ten days till said road trip. WOOO!

Updating, cause I havent.

Posted on December 19th, 2006 by phiber811, under John, Modding News, New Mods, main.

Its been a while since I updated with some real meat and potatoes kinda stuff. Mostly I’ve been babbling about this or that, without any real substance to show for it. Well, that changes today. I’ve got a few minutes over lunch, and I’m going to put up some recent work I’ve done. Lets have a look.

Blue Purple Fade.

This imac G5 was painted for the daughter of my employer. She wanted blue and purple, she got blue and purple. I used the Auto Air Nightmare Blue, and Cheap Wine purple. Its a pretty simple fade, but it looks damn good.

Black Flame iMac.
I painted this one for the son of my employer. The boss asked for pearl black with flames, and thats what he got. Its a simple flash flame job, but I really like how the pattern came out.

The Copper Fade Project.
Since my shop is offering mods as an option now, they felt that we needed a display. Well, they got one. One of the guys at our design firm came up with a reference for what he was thinking, and the powers that be selected a color range. The boss and I picked the final colors, and I got to work. This masking job and the flame imac are where my giant roll of masking tape came in so handy. Anyway, the shells are a pearl copper and a pearl russet.

LimeBurst iBook.
Before my buddy Jim moved to Las Vegas, I built him an iBook, and painted it as a surprise. He was definitely surprised. I shot it with the sparkle toxic green, and detail black around the apple logo and the edges. It’s gorgeous in sunlight!
