Comment on IKEA Hacks: Corner Wall Unit by Hilary Dean

Honestly… eh. Sorry, but with a view like that, nothing should be positioned to eclipse it, and certainly not a TV or tchotchkes, pillows, etc. on a shelf in front of the window. Organized and resourceful perhaps, but not as impressive as it could be if everything on those two walls were set up to direct the eye out those windows.

hello julia here……….Today I discovered and set up Mobile Press, a great WordPress plugin that allows you to set custom themes for mobile browsers. So now iPhone users get an experience optimized for their smaller form factor

I just broke off the connector to my Skullcandy Skullcrushers, and I said to myself, “I sure am glad I know how to fix this, or I would be really mad.” So I clipped off the end and striped the wires back to find nothing like I have ever seen before. What am I supposed to do with this?

Thanks for the tutorial, my shure E2s have had a short in the splitter for about a year now, finally decided to go ahead and rewire them, figure I might as well replace the plug too… Ended up getting this exact jack and buying some silver plated Teflon wire, hope all goes well, I know I’ll at least get this part right, cutting open the actual earbuds is gonna scare me a little though, I don’t even have the transparent ones.

You legend!

Thanks mate you saved me quite a lot of money

Just a common thing I've found blue wire is the shortest point. copper (ground) is the long middle point and red is the slightly longer point. So to make things easier for people in order of lenght of terminals:

Blue Red Copper

The colour codes seem to be standard. This worked on my fatality headset

Brilliant advice!

I had a $50 pair of Sony headphones break on me. For four bucks I had them working better (and looking nicer) than before!

Comment on How-To: Dirt-Cheap Speaker Stands by HECTOR

I have a simple solution for bookshelf size speaker on the cheap (sorry no illustrations but I’m sure you’ll figure out what I mean). I bought 2 CAT SCRATCH STANDS from WalMart (@$9.00/ea.), replaced the play toy on top with a 9×9 inch piece of plywood …. and that’s it!! Easily holds up a hefty bookshelf speaker at a nice height and the twine trunk of the stand looks kinda funky.
