Welcome To Everyday Hacker!

No Comments 01 January 2010

Welcome to Everyday Hacker. Let me tell you a little bit about this site. First off, I am Matthew Loberg. I have been blogging for almost three years now. The first two years I spent learning about blog platforms and just getting the hang of it. Last year I started a blog that I took seriously. It was about anything and everything. I made some mistakes and took that blog down, but I learned a ton. Now I have decided to start individual blogs about specific topics. This is my first one of those. If you want to learn a little bit more about me, visit my site at http://mloberg.com/site.

Now that’s enough of the pre-stuff, let’s get to what this blog is about and what you can expect. First of all, this blog is about tech. So you can expect posts about anything from Windows, to Mac, to Linux, to cell phones, game systems(probably not as much, as I am not a gamer), to tech projects, DIY, and, yes, hacks. I plan to do one post a week. I am wanting to feature a DIY project every month, because those are fun, but I can’t make any promises until this blog makes a steady income. That brings me onto my next thing, a blog disclosure.

I’m Having Some Computer Issues

No Comments 28 December 2009

So yesterday my Mac would not start. I torn it apart and narrowed down the issue to the button or the logic board. After some more tests, I figured out it was the power pin on the logic board that went bad. I went and looked at how much they were on eBay, and there as much as how much I bought the computer for and I’m a college student, so I don’t have enough to buy it…

Now I’m stuck on my laptop. A lot of my files are gone at the moment. The only thing that is going right is that I had Dropbox installed so I have some files, but not very many.

I am still planning on launching this Friday.

One of the first posts will be the tear down of an iMac G5. So if you wonder what the inside of a Mac looks like, please subscribe. Another post that will be coming in the first couple weeks is how to build a computer. It will have a list of parts you need (for under $500) and install instructions with pictures.
