DIY iPod socks – make your own or buy homemade ones!
Here’s a HOW TO on making your own iPod socks or you can buy homemade ones – A few months ago I asked my Mum to knit me an iPod sock, because I couldn’t stand the thought of shelling out over 20 quid for some thin piece of junk from Apple. Whilst she was experimenting, I suggested that she add in a pocket, for the earphones, because there’s nothing worse than losing your earphones. Link.
Boeing / Pratt & Whitney Surplus sales…
Contributor to Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools, Shin Ae, scores at a Boeing / Pratt & Whitney Surplus sale – I weld, build, and purposely tangle myself up in lots of computers/servers. I discovered two surplus stores that not only provide material fuel for all of the aforementioned activities but at a great discount no less. Both stores are open to the public and offer everything from large precision machinery to fiber optic cables to airplane leather by the roll (!). I spotted a Herman Miller Eames molded office chair at the Boeing store (sold tag on it) while I was walking out with my $15 in purchases, an IBM M-series (clickety) keyboard, and a portable DIGITAL anti-static electronics workspace circa 1970.

Atari 2600 Emulator for the PSP
Remember, you can’t use this if you go 2.0! Stella PSP v0.1- This is a port of the Stella Atari 2600 emulator to the PSP. Original code by Bradford W. Mott, Stephen Anthony and Jeff Miller and many others. This PSP port was made by Alysa Habraken (aka Aenea). It’s not very optimized and not all games run or at full speed. Some have a little flickering, but this will be resolved in upcoming versions. Roms must have a .a26 extension and also they go in the ms0:/Stella/Roms. [via] Link.
