Some useful stuff here – and links off to more information.
The rest of the blog is pretty good too.
And I found a link to this: How to make a lab power supply from a PC power supply. I figured this was possible, but didn’t know about loading it with a power resistor.
I’ve wanted a good 5V/12V power supply. Now I know what to do!
Make Your Own Droidel Dreidel!
The Star Wars site has a papercraft Dreidel that you can make that is decorated like a droid.
As usual, thanks to Boing Boing.
Robert Sabuda has a whole bunch of simple pop-ups that you can make. Including a popup Christmas Card.
Canon (yes, the printer manufacturer) has a whole pile of papercraft you can make!
What if you remade A Christmas Story as a horror movie?
You might get something like this.
Don’t watch the trailers if your heart is fra-gee-lay.
Found a pretty cool website today about Castles in the United States. (Well, the website is kind of ugly, but the subject matter is cool.)
I’m a sucker for Castles and English Manor houses.
Here is the front page.
I have seen a few of these Castles…
He has the Swedish Institute in Minneapolis listed – I’ve been there several times. It’s a great castle and I’d love to live there.
I believe I know where this Castle/House is in Minneapolis.
He does not have the Van Dusen mansion in Minneapolis listed. I happen to know that it’s currently being sold. I’ve long wanted to live there.
I have been past this Castle in Kentucky. Unfortunately, it has burned down.
He’s also building his own Castle in West Virginia. That’s an ambitious project…
Oh, and he has a link to a Castles of Canada page. Look out for pop-ups.
And from there I find Castles on the Web.
The Cute Overload blog.
It’s just what you think it is.
The Republican-Spin Drinking Game
Hey, gang, the weekend’s almost here and what better way to forget you temporarily live in GOP-America than to drink so much that Michelle Malkin begins looking attractive and Sean Hannity starts to sound smart? As a public service toward that end, the Yellow Dog Blog presents the Republican-Spin Drinking Game.
Here’s how it works: If you don’t have a well-stocked liquor cabinet, go to your favorite watering hole at, say, 4:00 PM or so on Friday and ask them to tune the television to MSNBC or CNN. Then, start the mayhem!
1. Take a giant swig of your drink every time a Bush administration official says anything having to do with GOP corruption is “part of an ongoing investigation.”
And so on…
Sounds like a good way to get totally hammered.
This guy has been making smaller and smaller RC helicopters. His latest is smaller than a Hampster and only weighs 6.9 grams.
Amazing.
Link (The site has been up and down due to bandwidth limitations.)
Here is a FABULOUS rant about the Right Wingers who are all on a tear about the “War on Christmas“. (Mainly John Gibson, Bill O’Reilly and FOX News.)
WARNING to Pansies: It’s full of very strong language. (Well, a lot of F-bombs.)
WARNING to Conservatives: It’s full of FACTS – Something you may not recognize.
Well worth reading and you really need to follow the links to all the FACTS that backup the statements.
Can we back up just a couple steps here? At what point did a basic understanding of the separation of church and state become a fucking war on religion? And how did we get to the point where you can call an organization set up to defend our civil liberties “Terrorists” on national television and no one fires your ass? Enough. Fuck all of you lying little shitheads who wish the world was out to get you so you could play the poor oppressed victims. Wake up assholes — you’re the cowboys, not the fucking Indians.
Sure makes my blood boil.
Here it is: Fuck Christmas
