Project: iPhone Griptape Sticker

img1

Over the holidays I dropped my phone into the snow. Again. After cursing some, thinking some, and then cursing some more, I decided to make a backing for my phone that was less slippery than the glass or even the metal one I have. I went through a few materials (thin adhesive-backed silicone, adhesive sandpaper, and some others) when I arrived at the perfect solution that takes care of everything all at once: skateboard grip tape!

Update: These are now for sale at RF Laserworks!

Edit: Well, it looks like I didn't do enough homework before I posted these for sale! A couple angry people have told me that there's already a similar product out there. This is great! Competition is always good; the end user always ends up winning :)

Alternate Frame Sequencing sans 3D Glasses



...but then again, maybe the glasses aren't so bad?

Pikachu Lips

Check out the lip job on Deviantartist ~viridis-somnio. She has some other examples on her Deviantart page. Incredible talent, but there's gotta be a joke somewhere in there.

Boba Fett Spartan Helmet



This is what Boba Fett would  have worn had he been, well, a Spartan bounty hunter. Aparently built by the gentleman who made helmets for 300 and undoubtedly the most badass thing you will see today. Prove me wrong.

There are plenty of good ways to discover new music, such as listening to your favorite artists' Pandora station or using a service like last.fm. Here are three simple sites that will allow you to discover new music that you may like (ordered by increasing fanciness).

Shocking, isn’t it?

The Electronic Goldmine (one of my absolute favorite places) is selling these sweet high voltage generators harvested from portable bug zappers! I'll take 10 20.

Many, many project possibilities. Perhaps some pikashoes...
