Before you start your next scarf or sweater project, check out the Random Stripe Generator. It’s a great online tool created by a fellow crafter to help you see it, before you make it. And if you don’t like the patterns that are produced, just hit refresh, and you’ll get more options! Link.

The “iTunes Speaker Thingy”

The “iTunes Speaker Thingy”

ItunesspeakerthingDale writes “This is an enclosure which holds and powers an Airport Express and a set of attached speakers to wirelessly stream music from iTunes. It also incorporates a Palm T|X which acts as an LCD wirelessly remote for iTunes using the Salling Clicker remote control software. The setup provides a nice set of compact wireless speakers for any spot with AC power that’s in Wi-Fi range of your home network.” Link.

Jon writes “In 1998, artist Daniel Reynolds unveiled an exhibit of six and a half foot tall drinking birds. Reynolds’ birds work on the same evaporative method of the classic toy, but their enormous size leave the senses reeling. Check out www.drinkingbirds.com for photos, videos, and more information.” Link. The videos from the exhibition are both soothing and creepy.
