American Modder: Computer Bike Completed!
PC Chopper MOD! In the last installment, I finished the hard-drive activity taillight as well as the wireless keyboard/mouse receiver in one package. I also finished fabricating the side panels for the bike, which is where the hard drives will attach. I also recorded some motorcycle startup sounds with the help of my lovely assistant, my wife. This time around, it all comes together. Yes, this is the extra-long final installment of the series. This time around, the bike will be painted up and assembled, along with some last-minute fabrication. What will it look like in the end? [via] Link.

So now, sit back….get out your travel itinerary and plan which airports you’re going to sleep in (or avoid altogether) during your next trip.

Here’s another one I’d like to do homebrew version of…Emergency Afterglow Lighting combines scotopic phosphor blend with non-radioactive after-glow phosphor blend to provide uninterrupted illumination in critical interior areas during low-light and no-power conditions. Even if bulb breaks, glass pieces will continue to glow up to 12 hr after power goes off. This 100% bomb-proof fluorescent lighting can also be detached and used as portable emergency light source. 
MAKE pal CK has a cool DIY PSP stand…attached it to what used to be a cheap Ikea desk lamp and ran the charger cord through the thing, so now I have a fully positional desk stand for hands free movie viewing on my PSP.
