Add A9 images on Googlemaps!

A9Gmaps0 This is one of my new favorite google map hacks – Why not take A9 Local images and insert them into Google Maps search results? (A9 Local images are storefront snapshots – taken by Amazon’s A9.com – of 15 major US Cities) How does it work? Greasemonkey lets me inject script into any page (viewed in Firefox), and the script I injected is set up to fetch an Address Search from A9.com, looking for a corresponding image. If an image is found, it’s displayed in the “Info Balloon” on Google Maps Link.

(17:20). There is also a lot of HOW TO / design type content for those wanting to Truman show their rodent. Link.

Mod your Nerf!

Mod your Nerf!

Thumb C Liquitron Tons and tons of mods for Nerf toys, guns and accessories. A sample…SuperMaxx 750 PETG barrel replacement mod: My goal was to replace the stock barrel on the SM750 with 6″ x 1/2″ PETG tubing and increase the working pressure of the air system. The barrel material is very difficult to find and can be replaced with 9/16″ OD K&S brand brass tubing for very similar performance. Link.
