The Best Easy & Cheap DIY Home Tech Hacks
Love these DIY posts from Re-Nest.  Repurposing and general ingenuity is what they’re all about!
I’ll use the iPhone stand and EVERONE, at some point, will want to know the best way to remove a broken lightbulb.  But the phone speaker… it’s just brilliant:

Then: Fred Clark over at the Slactivist shows us how we love to get screwed.

I think maybe part of the reason you’re so angry is you keep demanding that you get screwed and then, not surprisingly, …

Here’s a fun new idea:

For the low price of $39.99 I could get 221 lbs worth of compliments every morning     It appears to be velvet-lined.

Favorite interview from my favorite (living) comedian.

This is pretty much the what I’ve heard from folks who’ve seen this movie.  Personally I won’t be wasting my money.
Speaking of money: Avatar is being ridiculously reported to as a possible contender for the highest grossing movie EVER… (current champion being Titanic)  Lets break that down a bit, shall we?

Average cost of a movie ticket in 1997, when Titanic was released: $4.59
Average cost of a 3D movie ticket in 2009, Avatar’s release date: $9.50
Production cost for Titanic (again in 1997): $200Million
Production cost for Avatar: $280Million

This is really a no-brainer.  …

Skipped a couple months…  I hate that, too.  On to the passing on of links!
Wikileaks: “we will release over half a million 9/11 intercepts”
Starting at 3AM Eastern time on Wednesday, Wikileaks plans to publish over half a million US national text pager intercepts related to 9/11.

The Equation …

Okay, the idea of a loaf of meat, to me, is disgusting enough. Don’t get me wrong I love me some meat, but the thought of a ‘loaf’ of it is wholly unsettling. Well, leave it to Megan to take it a step further…

She’s a friggin’ genius! Personally, I am not going to make this for any dinner, but I sure hope somebody does. What gets me is the onion posing as a wrist bone… and well, the onion fingernails.

The Flatshare Fridge
What a cool idea.  Thought I’d share:

You can put the “Don’t Eat Me!” and “This Is Not Yours!” notes away for now. Stefan Buchberger, a design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (my childhood home!) has designed the Flatshare Fridge — a fridge made of up individual, stackable units so that each person gets his or her own refrigerator space. We’re seriously wondering why this hasn’t been developed before. Just think how many roommate …

Pros:

* While I am not the greenest of people, it does give me a nice feeling to know I am not filling landfills with used pads and tampons. That whole notion makes me ill, physically.
* Due to the position of the Diva Cup when properly inserted, it is completely unnoticeable and can be worn during all sports and activities. In fact, since it can be worn all day long it is ideal for active lifestyles as there are no products to pack and your period can be forgotten for the day while wearing a cup

Wow, I thought this was quite a stretch, but totally understandable due to all the fear that has been spread about by the previous administration & the media. People are afraid for what they can only imagine will happen in our country in the coming months and years. And rightly so.
Anyway, my post:
