Awesome. In January of this year, I was pulled over by a traffic officer for “disobeying a steady red”, a.k.a. running a red light. I pleaded “Not Guilty” to the charge, and today – nearly six months later – I went to court to find out the fate of my ticket violation. Check out how Google Maps saved me some serious cash – and points on my license! Link.
I have owned a PSP for about 2 months now, and love it. Except for one thing. I HATE having to hold the unit when watching movies. I happened to be at Lowes today (its like a Home Depot) and picked up some PVC pipe and a cutter. I came home and made a crude first prototype of my new invention…The PSP Hands Free System. Future enhancements to include battery holder Link and Link.
MAKE will be testing in-flight Wi-Fi, have questions about it? Post them in the comments and I’ll ask the tech staff. The event is an exclusive flight onboard Connexion One, a Boeing 737-400 used to demonstrate the Connexion by Boeing signature high-speed in-flight Internet service. Also, if you want to Skype, iChat, SSH, IRC :-] in the air with me, let me know. Link.
In June, some members of Texas A&M’s AggieSat team went to the Student Hands-On Training I workshop in Boulder. There, we built “balloonsats” containing cameras with timing circuits. Some of these photos were taken from these boxes attached to a weather balloon that went to 95,000 feet. All of the boxes except Texas A&M’s “A-Team” box were cubic. The A-Team’s unique hexagonal design and the M-Team’s stunning bird’s-eye photos of it earned Texas A&M the design award at the event Link.
Moonshiners set up near creeks and rivers to assure a ready supply of water. All whiskey came from sour mash, but recipes varied. Commonly, the moonshiner mixed corn meal and hot water in separate “mash barrels,” later adding large scoops of sugar as well as yeast. After two days, the fermenting mixture began to bubble furiously and continued to do so for several days. When the mash quit “working,” it had the “kick of a mule colt” and was ready to be transferred to the still. [via] Link.
This is insane, these folks needs to grab MAKE. On a recent Sunday morning when Lew Tucker’s Dell desktop computer was overrun by spyware and adware – stealth software that delivers intrusive advertising messages and even gathers data from the user’s machine – he did not simply get rid of the offending programs. He threw out the whole computer. Link. A response here too.
It’s goofy, but I like to make these when I cook dinner. ROSE: Fold all 4 corners of open napkin to center. Fold new corners to center. Turn napkin over and fold all 4 corners to center. Holding center firmly, reach under each corner and pull up flaps to form petals. Reach between petals and pull flaps from underneath. Link.
