Next time I go there I have got to have a few drinks at ‘Flaming Moe’s’. I wonder, do they have Duff on tap? (Better yet, do they have ‘Tartar Control Duff’ on tap!)

iPod Up-Armor Project
I don’t think I’d want to test the bullet resistance of this case, but if you think your iPod might be run over by a truck then this should protect it.
(Translated quote)
Aluminum A5052 that was comparatively high hardness, excellent in corrosion resistance (It is not easy to rust) was used for the material. After putting iPod in the case of the separation into the case and Fta, the screw stops Fta to a basic composition. The above-mentioned function is achieved ..can make it do by the headphone in the state, see the screen, and can synchronize with Mac by a cable standard ..can the operation.. the click wheel… It is likely to be able to stop it if the thickness of the material is 5 basically mm, and the gun bullets of about 22 calibers perhaps.

Not to leave the Shuffle out, there is also an armor kit for those of you feel the need.

Personaly, I like the titanium one better.
You can download PDF files of the plans if you have some quality metal and a mill handy.
NASDA Paper Space Crafts
So cool! More paper projects. Of the seven projects, three of them are of the Earth and the other four are space probes. The Adeos-II looks the coolest, nice and asymetric like a space ship should be. 🙂
Scientists Seek Sprite Light Source
Everyso often nature throws the scientists a new bone to chew on. One of the latest are the odd flashes of light that have been theorized by scientists and verified by the space shuttle.
Giant red blobs, picket fences, upward branching carrots, and tentacled octopi – these are just a few of the phrases used to describe sprites – spectacular, eerie flashes of colored light high above the tops of powerful thunderstorms that can travel up to 50 miles high in the atmosphere

DIY cellphone repair
My phone isn’t listed, too bad because of the photo you can tell that my phone isn’t in the best of shape these days. But if yours is on the list then you might be able to have at it with a screwdriver and some gaffers tape and make it all better. Then again even if your phone isn’t on the list you should do it. Remember, if it has screws in it, it’s made to be opened!
Network Emoticons
Now, can someone make a button or light up belt buckle that does the same thing? It would be oh so handy when dealing with people that say “no, nothing is wrong” when it’s clear that something is.
This device allows somebody to remotely connect, and change the emoticons. It plugs into an ethernet connection at home, it can then be accessed from a remote computer (work, school, whatever) via a web browser. You log in, and can then change the emotion to let the person at home know how your day is going.
