My blog is worth $20,323.44.
How much is your blog worth?
If my blog was valued the same way as the AOL-WeblogsInc deal I’d sell this in a second. Any takers?

MAKE 04
The latest issue of the tech DIY magazine is soon to be hitting my mail box, if you don’t have a subscription already you can buy from Amazon (and a nice discount I might add). The editor, Mark Frauenfelder has this to say about the latest issue:
The fourth volume of Make magazine, which I edit, is now available on Amazon.
The major projects include an electric cigar box guitar, a kit to take high speed strobe photos (so you can capture a balloon or light bulb in mid-pop), and how to turn kids’ electronic toys into musical instruments. There’s also a guide to a bunch of different kinds of kits (electronic, beer making, robots, etc) and a how-to by Mr. Jalopy on converting a vintage hi-fi cabinet into an LP and CD ripper, burner, and player.
David Pescovitz started a new column for the magazine called Proto, which profiles cool makers in corporate labs around the world, and Cory Doctorow weighs in on the Supreme Court’s unfortunate Grokster decision.
I’m especially excited about the do-it-yourself section with ways to hack your coffee and espresso makers.
I can’t wait to read this!

Too Many Macs!
At one time I had a nice collection of old compact Macs. Seven was about as many as I ever had and I thought that was a lot. This is scary, there must be hundreds of them in the place! I wonder if they all work…
Dekart SIM Card Reader
Now this will be a handy device. It might not get used very often but when it does it will be invaluable. No more messing with cables to download info from your phonebook, just pop out the SIM card and stick it in the USB reader. With the included software you can update your phone numbers with a real keyboard, that alone should make this an instant buy. I have typing phone numbers in on my phone. Backing up your digits is easy too, never know when your phone might get nicked or lost down a sewer.
F-18 Simulator
We all know that almost every guy wants to have their very own flight simulator in the living room. For far too long that has just been a dim dream by all of us, but now its a reality.
The New F-18E package includes these standard features:
All aluminum interior/structural parts New backlit panel assemblies New floor mounted center control stick New main wiring harness USB computer interface Discrete or RS-232 wiring interfaces New all aluminum NACES simulated ejection seat
If thats not enough for you, you can buy a F-16 cockpit simulator that is on a 3-axis hydraulic motion platform! I hope the surfaces are easy to clean…
