This may be a good indicator for many countries. I think my friend the economist has pointed out that if you keep tabs on the basics in life you can pretty much deduce what the econimy is doing.
Schaschlik Knife Block
Looks cool, great use of bamboo skewers and the price is ok if you don’t want to make your own.

Ballmer Kill Google! Ugh, Fire Bad!
Its hard to come up with stuff this good.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer vowed to “kill” Google in an expletitive-laced, chair-throwing tirade when a senior engineer told him he was leaving the company to go work for Google, the engineer claimed in court documents made public on Friday.
TireTagz Spell Doom
Ugh… I knew these were coming as soon as I saw the spoke lights for bikes.
Maybe I’d think better of them if they displayed the time and temperature, or flashed when your were going to change lanes or turn. OMG! You can’t have that! All changes in direction must be kept secret so as to not tip off the invisible cars that tail everyone… Ok, it looks like that to me, I mean how can you explain why turn signals seem to be a infrequently used option these days. Maybe drivers are just stupid and are easily distracted, if that’s the case then the Tire Tagz will be the death of us all,
DIY GPS
This is pure DIY goodness.
This is a short description on how I spent some hours this summer building a simple GPS device. For some time now I have been wondering about the possibility to build such a device from mostly scavenged and old parts, the most important being (of course) a GPS receiver module, and an LCD display. And indeed it was possible. ,)
Loads of great things here, he used a slavaged LCD from a cell phone as a display, a NEMA GPA module from eBay, and even burned his own boards using a UV party light.
