1. Refacing kitchen cabinets – this is a biggie. It can be expensive, although if you do the work yourself it’s much more cost effective. You can get stock cabinets or custom made ones. You could even just replace the doors or repaint them and it would still made a visual improvement.

2. Add kitchen island cart – this one can be fun, but only if you have the space for it. If the middle of your kitchen isn’t big enough, or the layout just doesn’t lend itself to this, then you could also get a kitchen island cart and gain the additional storage and workspace without doing anything permanent.

3. New kitchen sink – your old one could have stains you don’t even know are there because you just got used to that yucky color. You can take out your sink and put in a nice new one, stainless steel is the new rage.

Overall there is great satisfaction in redoing your kitchen and these are a few of the ways you can do that. Watch for our other posts about this topic as well.

I was in charge of the most important meeting of the year, and of my career. I was late for my plane, my luggage was lost and as I was headed to the hotel to prepare for the meetings the next week when I accidentally left my brand new iPhone in the hire car. I tried to find it, I called the car company, even went there to see if it had been turned in but to no avail.

My iPhone ran my life. This was my only means of contacting the office, the only way to get my emails and was how I was suppose to get the important files that I needed for a huge meeting in just two days. I had no idea what I was going to do. I was going to be completely lost without my iPhone.

I was certain that I would be fired from a job I loved all because I couldn’t get it back. As I sat in tears trying to muster the courage to call my boss on the hotel phone, I remembered that I had purchased iPhone insurance. But would it cover my own daft actions? How could they help me when I was far from home and would it be in time? I wasn’t sure what they could do but I borrowed a co-worker’s computer and went to the site and found it was easier than I ever could have imagined and fast too.

I filed my claim on Friday night and before my meeting Monday morning, I had a replacement. I never even had to tell my boss about the blunder and I had all my addresses on backup thanks to their wonderful address book back up program. I never even had to miss a beat. It was less than 48 hours and my iPhone insurance replaced my phone, got my address book and other necessary programs back up and into my hands.

I was ready for my meeting and impressed both the client and my boss. In fact, I got a promotion shortly after this because I had everything I needed to get the job done. I would never again go without iPhone insurance. I insure my mp3 player, iPhone, and all my electronic hand held devices. It is affordable and can literally make your life easier when it really matters!

I ended up doing really well at university, ending up with a good high paying job in the City of London. About five years into the job I decided I still wanted to follow and pick up on my photography dream, so that’s what I did in the early part of 2008.

I’m not quite sure how or why but I wanted to photograph weddings, I felt it to be a fairly profitable area if I could only shoot a two or three good weddings and get the results featured in the right wedding magazines, I would be well on the way to getting up and running.

Nobody was going to employ a novice for their big day without references and a glowing port folio, so there was nothing for it, I had to do some free work to start a portfolio, I did this by offering the friend of a friend who was getting married my services for free.

This was no small wedding; it was at an exclusive venue in the forest of dean, some 130 miles from London. Photography equipment packed lovingly away, I took a train to Gloucester, then a Taxi into The Forest of Dean, and this was the point where things started to go wrong!

When I got in the Taxi, I told the driver roughly where I wanted to go, he asked if I had the post code, I reached in my pocket for my iPhone, where I had all the venue details safely stored. This is when I went cold, my iPhone was missing, I had left it on the coffee table in the train, I got the driver to turn round and rush back to the station, but it was too late, the train had gone, along with my iPhone insurance no claims bonus and more importantly my iPhone!

The Taxi Driver was great; he got me to the wedding venue from my vague description of the address and was more than happy for me to make use of his phone, so I could let people know I had lost my iPhone. The driver told me that in the past year he had 4 separate iPhones left in his cab. I was the fifth, luckily I had iPhone insurance cover, but that still will not me loosing all that data I had stored forever.

The wedding photos all went fine and the newly weds were impressed with the pictures and look great in my portfolio. As for the iPhone, which was all sorted out within two days, luckily my iPhone insurance cover included a rapid 48 hour replacement service, but I had lost all my data as I had not backed it up, I shall learn from that mistake.

I did three more weddings over the summer months, all of them a complete success and looking great in my portfolio, more importantly, the word of mouth recommendations started spreading and it was not long before I got my first fully paid wedding booking! I found after my first booking it seemed to open the flood gates as I now have half of my weekends for 2009 booked up, which is just great!

That’s how I feel, anyway — which is why I made it my business to put my new iPhone through the paces from jump street by scouring the web’s most serious iPhone resources for the most useful power tips/ tricks available. The result is this collection of 16 iPhone power tips that will help you get even more enjoyment out of your new favorite toy! Some of these, granted, you’ll need to Google to get the current URL. But, if you want, you can just click the link for the complete article with photos and videos.

1. Unstick a Stuck Slider: if you’re iPhone’s slider ever gets stuck — as in, it simply refuses to do anything when you try to slide it, usually because you want to make the iPhone up to use it — here is a fix from iPhone Atlas (www.iphoneatlas.com): press the Home button once before attempting to move the slider for the first time.

2. Make Skype calls: Up-front disclaimer: We’re not talking about free, voice-over-IP (VOiP) Skype calls here. We’re talking about making SkypeOut calls, which are not free but can drastically reduce the cost of making international calls on your iPhone. Matter of fact, SoonR lets you access Apple Mail files, mailboxes, and contacts. It also lets you grab documents from your Mac for viewing on iPhone, including PowerPoint presentations and all that kinda’ good stuff.

3. Know Where to Go for the 411: Lucky for you, the world has gone iPhone crazy. That means there a lot of excellent sources of info on the latest iPhone developments out there on the web. Bad news: there’s a lot of crap, also. Here’s a short list of our favorite iPhone info sites:

- modmyiPhone.com
– iPhoneFreak.com
– iPhoneAlley.com
– The Unofficial Apple Weblog’s iPhone page
– Gizmodo’s iPhone coverage
– iPhoneAtlas.com

While you’re checking these sites, keep in mind that some sites you might already be visiting on a regular basis have really done a super job of becoming iPhone-friendly, including Digg.com, Amazon.com, FaceBook.com, and Netvibes.com!

4. Play Great Games: You know what Jack says about all work and no play! Not that the web surfing you’re doing on your iPhone is all work-related, yeah right? Games — most of which are free — are starting to pop up for the iPhone, and we’re sure there will be more where those came from. For now, you can just launch the Safari browser when your iPhone and visit these hot game sites:

- MacMost’s collection of iPhone games, including classics like solitaire and minesweeper (free, MacMost iPhone Games).

- mynuMo has 4 iPhone games, including iWhack — a whack-a-mole knockoff where the mole’s replaced by a headshot of Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer — and Blackjack (also free, myNuMo iPhone Games).

- iGiki’s games, which include Hangman and Canyon Crawl — aren’t free, but then, they’re only a buck a pop and might be just what you need when you get tired of the freebies (99 cents per game pack for 99 days, iGiki Games).

- PopCap’s Bejeweled, (free, PopCap Bejeweled).

5. Beat a Shortcut to your Fave iPhone Apps: Handy iPhone apps, like Leaflets (free, Get Leaflets) and Applists (free, Get Applists) put most iPhone apps your fingertips, but if you want to build your own list, just collect the apps you tend to use the most into the same bookmarks folder in Safari on your computer. Then, the next time you sync your iPhone, using iTunes, be sure to check “Sync Safari Bookmarks” on the info tab, under Web browser.

6. Rehang the Wallpaper: If you’re up for a bit of iPhone hacking, you can take any image you find anywhere on the web and turn it into a custom wallpaper.

But there is a much easier way: Download a 320×480 pixel image for free from a variety of online sources, saving them all in the same folder on your Mac. In iTunes, with your iPhone docked, select your iPhone, click the Photos tab, select the radio button next to “Sync Photos From…,” then from the drop-down list, select “Choose Folder…”

Next, browse to the folder you just created, then click “Apply” in the lower-right hand corner. Finally, on your iPhone, go to Settings, Wallpaper, Photo Library to hang your new wallpaper!

7. Take Self-Portraits Because the iPhone camera shutter’s button is a “soft” (i.e., onscreen) button, it’s a bit tricky to take self-portraits with it since you have to turn the phone around so you can no longer see the button. Here’s the solution: with the camera feature selected, place your finger on the camera icon and turn the phone around so you’re facing the lens. Then, smile pretty and let go of the shutter button! You’ll hear the telltale “click” — and, you’ve just taken a self-portrait!

8. Reveal Secret Features: When Apple released the first firmware update for the iPhone on August 1, 2007, it did so with little fanfare, and attributed most of the updates to “security fixes.” The Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg discovered a few new non-security-related features on his side phone after the update including:

- Greater capacity in the iPhone module’s Favorites list (used to be 20, is now 50).
– Ability to automatically blind carbon copy (BCC) yourself on all e-mails sent, where previously, your only option was to CC yourself, which alerted your recipients what you were up to…
– Compatibility with some car adapters and external speakers, originally created for the iPod. For more iPhone and tech tidbits, visit Walt’s blog.

9. Just Ditch the Camera Altogether: On the other hand, if you know you’ll never use the iPhone’s camera, you can just remove it altogether. (If you work for or with certain government agencies, you’re iPhone may actually be considered “contraband” on their property because they don’t want you taking secret photos of Bigfoot, Elvis, or (believe it or not) alien spaceships!

10. Get the Official Mod Tool: If you’ve already had to send your iPhone back to Apple for warranty repair or replacement, you may have already discovered something different about the replacement iPhone. First off, it comes in a much thinner box. Second, it comes complete with the “official iPhone SIM card removal tool”: a paperclip! Yup, Apple actually supplies a paperclip with all replacement iPhones, along with instructions for using it to open the SIM card slot and insert your card!

11. Buy Spare Parts: If you’re the type who simply can’t resist trying to take your iPhone apart, here’s where to go to find replacement parts when you go too far: iPhone Parts. Sources of mine told me that Apple charges $300 for a replacement screen, but you can get one from iFixIt for only $199.95.

12. Kill that Annoying GSM Buzz: If you hear a buzzing sound, while using an iPhone cassette adapter in your car stereo, such as Monsters iCarPlay — which claims to be iPhone-compatible (but doesn’t appear anywhere on Monster’s website) — Gizmodo offers a low-tech solution: aluminum foil… Yup, just take a little bit of Reynolds Wrap and wrap it around the cable closest to your iPhone. Doing so eliminates the need to switch to “Airplane mode,” which would be a viable solution if it didn’t send your incoming calls to voicemail!

13. Find Wi-Fi Hotspots in Your Neighborhood: JiWire makes it easy to find the nearest hotspot when your iPhone — so you can rescue yourself from the slow-moving hell that is AT&T’s EDGE data service. Surf on over to iphone.jiwire.com on your iPhone and fill in your location. If you’re a cheapskate (like me), check the box for “Search Free Hotspots Only.”

14. More Wi-Fi Performance Enhancements: Apple has a potentially useful collection of WiFi related iPhone tips in a regularly-updated knowledgebase article on its website. Suggestions include fixing problems like paid WiFi connections that drop off suddenly, weak WiFi signals, and WiFi connections that revert to EDGE due to issues with WEP passwords, or problems with Mac address filtering.

15. “Hack” Your iPhone!: Disclaimer: this tip isn’t for everybody. Some of these “hacks” (i.e., self-made modifications to the iPhone’s default behavior) are intended for people who have experience changing the way their computers behave by accessing the underlying code governing such behavior. You’ve been warned.

- For Macs: iFuntastic and Installer.app.
– For Windows: Installer.app or iBrickr.

Once you’ve installed one of the above helper apps, you can try an ever-expanding array of iPhone mods. With iFuntastic, for example, you can add your own custom ringtones, rearrange the Home screen, and change the AT&T logo. Installer.app goes even further, letting you install and play Nintendo games that feature tactile feedback! The good folks at Gizmodo.com make it easy for Mac users to take advantage of this newfound power over their iPhones with a handy tutorial (visit their site and search for install apps iPhone).

Windows users can also use a helper app called iBricker to modify their iPhone, install custom ringtones, and install third-party apps. But, if all you care about is adding custom ringtones, you might want to try Efiko’s iPhoneRingToneMaker ($10).

16. Just Don’t Be a Sucker!: While searching for the latest iPhone apps, you could run across some websites that’ll offer you instant access to hundreds of the latest apps — all for one-time membership fee of $49.95. These sites include, but are not limited to, www.iphonenova.com, www.iphonecyclone.com, and www.iphonedownloadpro.com. Problem here, is that these sites (IMHO) are scams.

I ponied up $50 for membership to iPhoneNova, for example, which claims to be the “World’s First iPhone Download Service.” Guess what it really is? It’s a BitTorrent-like site for downloading illegal content you can view on your iPhone or iPod.

But, your $50 membership only gets you a BitTorrent client called Tomato Torrent and links for you to download two more already-free apps that help you convert existing videos and ripped DVD content to be viewed on your iPod/ iPhone. You also get links to a mere five (5) web-based iPhone games and a huge, poorly-organized list of illegal movie downloads like “The Simpsons” and “Transformers.” Nuff said; as Napoleon Dynamite would say, “…What a Rip-off”!
