TAMPA, FLA., Reko Rivera (Left) John Savio (Right) — World’s first award winning “working” iPhone costume created by Reko Rivera and John Savio. Specifications are 42″ Display, 1.5 Hours of Battery Life, 85 lb and the “real” iPhone can charge connected to the USB on the display. The two costumes have 3 batteries each with a total runtime of 4.5 hours before needing to be charged overnight. Please email us if you need any more information about the costume. BACKSTORY — This all started two years ago Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman created a wearable large iPhone costume with a real 37″ lcd tv. An iPod was attached with a looping video of a real iphones screen in normal use. This time with the help of John Savio and John Matthews the team created yet another amazing rendition of the new iPhone 3GS. Savio loved the original idea but wanted to take it to the next level and make it thinner and actually work with user input! With some heavy researching and some solid determination Savio finally found a solution. He managed to modify the software on the iPhone to allow a live dual image output to the large 42″ lcd tv while maintaining the image in landscape mode. Reko originally came up with the idea and really pushed to see his vision come to life two years ago. This year John and Reko plan to compete in most of the local and online contest to win back all the money they invested in the costumes. The team has about 00 into the two costumes and has no regrets! Websites: www …
Making a Satellite dish bucket mount is very often the only option for some people. Usually used in Apartment, Cabins, Camping , Balconies and where satellite dish are just not permitted. All you need is a deep bucket, some Galvanized steel of the correct diameter of the dish you are using (I use 1.5″ here this works for Free to Air - DirecTV, Dish Network, Bell standard dish) and a drill to put a stud through the bottom of the pole to stop the pole turning. I also flatten the pole at the bottom for the same reason. I always fill the pole right to the top leaving just enough space to get my pole level in. Another trick is to put a small bit of wood under the bucket to support the base or it will bulge with the weight, this ensures a flat bottomed bucket with no movement at all. keeping the pole short is a good idea, the higher the more prone to wind load. Also remember off-set satellite dish collect signal from 22 deg. higher in the sky than where they “seem” to be pointing. As long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellite a pole mount works perfectly and makes a lot of sense. if you are moving you simply roll it onto the truck and away you go! I use a full bag of cement for each bucket, with a house brick inside the bucket for the pole to added support.
