Most wood-fired pizza ovens I’ve seen are built to last. The folks over at Machine Project built this temporary oven for a recent event and self proclaimed pizza fanatic Mike Senese of Catch It Keep It fame was kind enough to document its construction.
I sent this link over to Becky for the CRAFT blog but I got jealous after she put it up and had to post it here, too. Chillingworth may be the coolest stuffed animal I have ever seen. He was made from an antique bodice by Ann Wood of Brooklyn.

NY’s Adirondack State Park – During the late 1950’s and early 1960’s when the Cold War was escalating, the U.S. government built hundreds of Atlas-F missile silos (each for 18 million in 1961, with the rising cost of construction today one could barely fund the excavation.) to prepare the country for an attack that never came. Today, most of these silos lie abandoned and filled with water, monuments to a bygone era of American history and left to waste. But now, thanks to two entrepreneurial cousins, Bruce Francisco and Gregory Gibbons, one of these silos located in beautiful Adirondack State Park near Lake Placid is finding new life as a luxury home safe haven getaway complex accessible by plane or car. The real estate includes 20 acres of land with approximately 78 acres available as 10 approved building lots. The home is conveniently located to Montreal, Lake Placid and Plattsburgh and boast such outstanding year round activities as golfing, hunting, fishing, boating, hiking and world class skiing.
The price, regrettably, is north of two megabucks. But when I finally marry that wealthy heiress this place is at the top of my shopping list. Bruce was nice enough to provide us with a high-resolution scan of the plan view, above, which (for the time being anyway) is exclusive to the MAKE blog.

I don’t know why Prince decided to change his name to this symbol but I love this Prince hat pattern by Holly at Unfurled. Wear it at the next Prince concert or when you are thinking back nostalgically like I am to Junior High and singing “Raspberry Beret” to yourself.
Features a 20-key keypad, a single 7-segment LED, and 7 individual LEDs, and comes with 7 bits of software built in: an organ (basic tone generator), sound hit game, whack-a-mole, tennis, timer, music player, and Morse code generator. It’s a fun, retro kit, just begging to be hacked!
For the last 12 years, I’ve been perfecting my technique of scaring kids. This project shows you how to build a tool I use in my haunted houses: a relay board that switches on electrical devices in time to an audio file that’s playing on a laptop, connected via parallel port. Using this setup, you can write code that synchronizes lights, motors, fog machines, pumps, laser pointers, and other devices to cues in a spooky soundtrack.
