Nice HOW TO, would work for other little creatures too – I know there are many feeding systems available in the pet shop but I don’t want them to have access to the specialised food the whole day. Exposing them to an unlimited supply of grains, corn, … would stop them from eating my kitchen waste (and that’s why we bought them in the first place). [via] Link.
Pretty cool case mod- Lucas could easily sell these and pre-load copies of Galaxies on them. Here’s how to make your own Darth Vadar head PC.

More hamster projects- A 16-year-old boy who invented a hamster-powered phone charger is celebrating after the gadget helped him pass his GSCE electronics. Peter Ash, from Lawford in Somerset, came up with the idea after his sister Sarah complained that Elvis was keeping her awake at night by playing for hours on his exercise wheel. The quick-thinking teenager quickly realised that the restless hamster’s energy could be used to generate electricity and spent the next 13 months inventing the 15cm device for his GSCE electronics coursework project.

Another nice PSP HOW TO from AOTS – It’s surprisingly simple to play your favorite classic LucasArts titles on your PSP. We snagged a couple steps from the great hardware hacking forums, DCEmu, and combined them with a little of our own knowledge to give you this little tutorial. How to Install ScummVM for the PSP… Link.
Hmm, I’d like to learn how to make these. These pencils don’t consist of any wood. Instead they are made out of 20-33% recycled blue denin jeans that have been ground up. The rest is the recycled post-consumer paper. To complete the blue theme, they have a blue eraser and a pewter blue ferrule. For something…greener, you can also get pencils made out of “old money” or recycled U.S. dollar bills. A pack of 12 costs $6. Link.
PBS’s site has a neat game where you listen to retro game sounds and try to guess which game they’re from. I got 15 out of 18, a couple of the games I never played back then or ROM now. This would be a fun category for Jeopardy. The site also has some other retro game trivia too. Link.
Anybody looking to integrate Google Maps using classic ASP, especially if you don’t have the longitude or Latitude coordinates. This video overview is broken into two-phases. [
