How much fun have you been having with your iPhone? Don’t have one? Sorry, I know it’s expensive but what a great device it is. True it isn’t for everybody, doesn’t do everything, and won’t solve the world’s problems… With a little patience and persistence you can open up the flood gates to having fun, check it out…

A few of the goodies that I’ve done…

• Changed most of the icons of the default Apps
• Changed the logo (blanked out in screenshot), battery charging (when docked), dock background, and probably a bunch of png’s I can’t remember, lol
• Added GUI Apps - Terminal, NES emulator, Voice Recorder, SendSong
• Added CLI Apps - ssh (so I can open Terminal and ssh out of the iphone!), a bunch of standard linux binaries, sendFileByMail (to email any file on the iphone as an attachment), screenshot, and the list goes on. Natetrue’s site contains most of these goodies, definitely worth a look!

There’s one App that everyone is anxious for, the all powerful AIM/iChat. ApolloIM is a promising start if Apple doesn’t come out with their own soon enough.

If you are interested in learning how to do all this I recommend visiting ModMyIphone.com and hacktheiphone.net they have lots of resources available to get you going. It’s a little too complicated to just ‘jot’ down here

Happy modding!

It’s just amazing when you start searching for a domain name to use and it takes days upon days to find an available one that doesn’t completely suck. I have done so many lookups in the last week looking for something that was short enough, easy to spell, kinda fun and had a little background to it.

So how in the world did rocksahead.com come to be? One of the great 80’s flicks The Princess Bride provided the inspiration. Please please tell me that you have seen this great movie. One of the funniest scenes is where Andre the Giant (Fezzik) is mocking Vizzini rhyming a conversation away. “Anybody want a peanut?” lol

Thanks for stopping by, more to come!
