Another State of Mind is a documentary film made in the summer of 1982 chronicling the adventure (and misadventure) of two punk bands Social Distortion and Youth Brigade as they embark on their first international tour. Along the way they meet up with another progressive punk band, Minor Threat, who they hang out with at the Dischord house for about a week near the end of their ill-fated tour.
Now that you know what it’s about, watch it on YouTube because it’s an awesome film.

Openmoko is now live and the Neo 1973 is being sold as a developer release. Sell your iPhone and buy yourself one, then send me the difference so I can get one too. It’s a smartphone that runs Linux and is an Open Source project sponsored by FIC. The “mass market” model is expected to ship in October, which is just in time for my birthday. 
I need music in my AMC Gremlin, the stock AM radio in it cut out every time we tried to get it working. I decided that a carputer would work out better than a normal in-dash stereo because it wouldn’t require having CDs with, I could just play mp3 files stored on the carputer.
Instead of building or buying a carputer I realized that my N800 would be perfect for the job, it has support for many media formats, AM/FM radio, WiFi for Wardriving, USB port, low power consumption, touch screen, etc.
Right now I’m thinking:
- The N800 should be held by a turnable dock that it can be removed from easily
- The dock would come out of the expansion bay on the car dash
- A USB hub and external hard drive with my music on it should be mounted in the glove compartment
- For speakers I’d have speaker boxes on the floor in back
Now I need to figure out:
- How to make the N800 dock adjustable and be able to hide it back in the dash when it’s not in use
- How much power it will need
- How to connect the car antenna to the N800, it’s earbuds (headphones) are the stock antenna
- How to power the external USB drive and USB hub so the N800 can play media off of it
- Where I can get good boxed speakers that will fit on the floor and how to connect them to a normal headphone jack
So far I’ve got my N800 set up for it software wise, I loaded the latest firmware onto it yesterday and re-installed all my media applications.
I’ll document the project once it starts coming together in the car, it seems like the perfect carputer. I’m sure that other people have used it as one since you can run Maemo Mapper on it.
