Can you say, “Chick Magnet”?
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Hacks, design, iPhone
As if the simple act of owning an Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale wasn’t enough to ensure you a healthy supply of hot and cold running chicks, imagine pulling up the Sorority House of your choosing in said Olds using nothing but your iPhone to control that sweet ride!
Above: Nice touch smashing the Dell boxes.
The hack looks simple enough, and I’d guess it shouldn’t take the average person more than 20 minutes or so. All you need are a few things you likely have sitting around the house already – like a couple wrenches and an old Power Wheels. And a laptop and a motorcycle chain. And a potentiometer. And an engineering degree.
Oh, and they had to rip out the power windows and the front seat, but hey, you planned to spend most of your time in the back seat anyway, am I right?

Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (November 2009): Heather Mote
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Mac Chick of the Month
Welcome to Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Heather Mote, a Southern Belle who just happens to be a die-hard Mac Chick! (oh, and November is also her birthday month, so everyone say Happy Birthday).
Heather is a typical “Georgia Peach”, outgoing, fun loving, and adventurous. Spending time outdoors hiking, skiing, or anything to do with a challenge is what Heather enjoys most….finishing her first Nautica triathlon last April, Heather wants to continue to move forward and hopefully one day become an Iron woman.

Happy Halloween from Macenstein!

Well, here’s a real treat! Mac chick of the Month June 2009 Irina Voronina and her Mac-loving friends Brooke Taylor and Raynecat were nice enough to show us that Apple gear is the perfect accessory to any costume. Oddly I was going to wear the same Devil costume. Enjoy!

The best Apple-themed Halloween costume… EVER
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Mac Chick of the Month
And on the 8th day, God created Steve Jobs, who subsequently invented Woz, who then begot Apple, which hired Tony Fadell, and so on and so forth until Dr.Macenstein founded Macenstein.com, which produced the Mac Chick of the Month.
OK, I’ll admit it’s been a little while since I’ve been to church, but that’s more or less how I remember it going down. Anyway, there can be no denying that the Mac Chick of the Month is a gift from above, and this month as a special Halloween treat we once again present you with the lovely Aerin, who you may remember as our Miss December 2008. Why the repeat performance? Well, quite frankly when we got word that Aerin had decided to dress up (or DOWN, actually) as “Eve” for her Halloween costume this year, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect “Apple”-themed costume to showcase here on Macenstein! So sit back, whip out your Old Testament, and watch as Eve awakens in Paradise to discovers a very special “Apple” in the Garden of Eden. Read more
This is why I never jailbreak my pumpkins
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Humor, iTunes
Sure I love all the cool things I can do with a jailbroken pumpkin, but when things go wrong, they go horribly wrong. I resolved last year to stop jailbreaking my pumpkins, and this picture reminds me of exactly why I decided to suck it up and just make do with the firmware that ships natively with the fruit.
It takes roughly 2 hours to restore a 12 pound pumpkin via iTunes, and the 20 pound model takes up to 3 hours. It just isn’t worth it.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Glen for the link!
