These are shoes, but not as we know them, Toto. Worn Again take materials like charity store coats, ex-military parachutes, prison blankets, car seat scrap leather, old towels and recycled rubber, crafting them into some funky looking trainers… Link.
A MAKE subscriber sent this in to us, look really interesting “A Foot powered lathe plans in pdf or e-book form – I haven’t tried this but from reading it, I can say it appears to be the best design of several I’ve looked at. And it’s free!” Link.
Wow, I need to try this – Everything you modify, create or download during a Live-CD session is kept in memory until the computer is rebooted; then it’s all lost.

DaveC writes “Great Australian site for Car Tuning, but not just the bolt on/mechanical stuff, they have many articles about hacking the various control systems of your car. I haven’t ever seen this in U.S. Tuning magazines as they tend to be more low tech in scope. Perhaps a liability issue in the U.S. prevents this sort of low level hacking?” Link.
Handy…script which runs once a day to get the links for my link blog. It now crawls each link and sends an email to a Gmail account with the From field being the page URI, the Subject being the tags, and the body being a copy of the page. In addition to searching the page text, I can filter by tags by using an advanced search (e.g., subject:python). Now I love del.icio.us and Gmail more than before. Link. Also, check out our list.
The site plans to get permission and/or make custom versions, but for now no more NYC maps for the iPod – the New York MTA has ordered me to remove the official maps from the site. I am hoping to acquire a license from their marketing department to offer the maps here. In the meantime, I hope you can all wait. Thanks. If worse comes to worse, I’ll make up a custom set of maps and offer them here. . Link.
MAKE was picked for the home section! Thanks to everyone who voted! In our travels around the Web, we come across countless sites and services. But with only 24 hours in the day, we have to settle on a relative few as places to work, play, and get things done online. These are our picks for the cream of the crop... Link.
