Cool circuit board skull bracelet just in time for Halloween

by Heather Craven on Sep 18th 2007 3:00PM

I won't even pretend to understand the mind of the technically clever person. Circuit boards, switches, bytes, gigs...it all just runs together in my head. But when the techno aspect merges with the visual I can get a grip on it. Such is the case with Vomitsaw's clever conception of the circuit board skull bracelet. This is truly a cool idea that appeals to the masses, especially this time of year when skulls are so hip.

You will need:

Some circuit board
Wire
AV plugs
Some cleverness

For more details, visit Voamitsaw's site. Or if it looks too complex, stick around. There are rumors that they will be for sale.

Why American Savers Have Drawn the Short Straw

Why American Savers Have Drawn the Short Straw

There are painfully real reasons why America's savers feel they've got the short end of the stick

American savers, take a bow. This is your moment of vindication. Your hour of glory. And you earned it (in a manner of speaking).

You resisted the siren call of plastic teaser APRs, dutifully living within your means to store money for a rainy day. You never took out an interest-only mortgage. Never had to pawn the copper pipes from your exurban McMansion to pay the reset on your liar loan. Your credit score would have gotten you into Harvard at age 12.

Good for you! Your reward: injurious savings yields, inflationary rot, and election-season neglect, all served up with a dollop of institutional insecurity.

1999 Darwin Awards

#1 - LOS ANGELES, CA. Ani Saduki, 33, and his brother decided to remove a bees' nest from a shed on their property with the aid of a pineapple. A pineapple is an illegal firecracker which is the explosive equivalent of one-half stick of dynamite. They ignited the fuse and retreated to watch from inside their home, behind a window some 10 feet away from the hive/shed. The concussion of the explosion shattered the window inwards, seriously lacerating Ani. Deciding Mr. Saduki needed stitches, the brothers headed out to go to a nearby hospital. While walking towards their car, Ani was stung three times by the surviving bees. Unbeknownst to either brother, Ani was allergic to bee venom, and died of suffocation en-route to the hospital.

#2 - Derrick L. Richards, 28, was charged in April in Minneapolis with third-degree murder in the death of his beloved cousin, Kenneth E. Richards. According to police, Derrick suggested a game of Russian roulette and put a semiautomatic

Fishing hookless

Higher Plane

I'd like to finish by mentioning a minor and obscure branch of the catch and release advocates. Their philosophy can be summed up as catch and release... without the catch.

The whole concept is based around the pretext that you can actually catch fish. This is really quite important. The next step is to discover the whereabouts of actual fish.

Once we have found our 'target' fish, perhaps by cleverly stalking around the banks, the way one does, we can then determine which fly is required. This is where the branch splits into two separate sub-divisions. On the one hand there is the 'let's stick the fly on, but make sure there is no hook' practitioners, and on the other there exists the 'let's make the imaginary cast'.

Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar

4 TBS cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk

2 tsp vanilla flavoring

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 1/2 cups quick cook or minute oats

Get a sturdy stock pot. Put the sugar, milk and margarine in the pan and put on low heat. Stir until everything is liquid and mixed together.

Turn heat up to medium high. Bring mixture to a good rolling boil. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Time this. You need to be pretty close on the boiling time.

Take the pan off the heat and immediately add cocoa, vanilla, peanut butter, and oats. You'll want these measured ahead and ready to pour in. Stir well but quickly.

Move to tin foil area. Use a spoon and drop clumps of the mixture on the tin foil. Leave a little space between each cookie. You may need another samll sheet of tin foil to hold all the cookies. Have the tin foil handy in case.

A federal judge has refused to consider bail for the estranged husband of a woman who was stabbed to death in a parking garage in upscale Century City.

James Fayed of Moorpark is charged with operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. But a Los Angeles federal judge today refused to review his no-bail status in the case, saying he was concerned that Fayed eventually might be charged with his wife's murder.

The Resentment Strategy

clipper's remarks: "What the G.O.P. is selling, in other words, is the pure politics of resentment; you’re supposed to vote Republican to stick it to an elite that thinks it’s better than you.
And when Mr. Bush turned out not to be that smart after all, and his presidency crashed and burned, the angry right — the raging rajas of resentment? — became, if anything, even angrier. Humiliation will do that.
That said, the experience of the years since 2000 — the memory of what happened to working Americans when faux-populist Republicans controlled the government — is still fairly fresh in voters’ minds. Furthermore, while Democrats’ supposed contempt for ordinary people is mainly a figment of Republican imagination, the G.O.P. really is the Gramm Old Party — it really does believe that the economy is just fine, and the fact that most Americans disagree just shows that we’re a nation of whiners.

But the Democrats can’t afford to be complacent. Resentment, no matter how contrived, is a powerful force.

Can the super-rich former governor of Massachusetts — the son of a Fortune 500 C.E.O. who made a vast fortune in the leveraged-buyout business — really keep a straight face while denouncing “Eastern elites”?

Can the former mayor of New York City, a man who, as USA Today put it, “marched in gay pride parades, dressed up in drag and lived temporarily with a gay couple and their Shih Tzu” — that was between his second and third marriages — really get away with saying that Barack Obama doesn’t think small towns are sufficiently “cosmopolitan”?

Yes, they can.

But don’t be fooled either by Mr. McCain’s long-ago reputation as a maverick or by Ms. Palin’s appealing persona: the Republican Party, now more than ever, is firmly in the hands of the angry right, which has always been much bigger, much more influential and much angrier than its counterpart on the other side.

What’s the source of all that anger?

new vows

Do you, Elizabeth and David, acknowledge that you have a bad relationship?
(We Do)
Do you admit that you fight constantly, hardly ever have sex and drive each other nuts?
(We Do)
And do you agree to stick it out anyway and spend your lives together in misery but at least happy that you aren't apart?
(We Do)

How many relationships slip unconsciously into that kind of entanglement? In our view, far too many. We propose a new approach. Conscious loving is founded on a set of principles and practices completely opposite from the ones David and Elizabeth considered.

What would a new set of wedding vows be based on? Emotional transparency, for sure. In working with thousands of couples, we have heard the complaint "You never tell me how you're feeling" many thousands of times. It takes courage, and a great deal of practice, to be able to talk about feelings in a straightforward way. We've seen many arguments stop when one person has the courage to say "I'm scared" or "I'm sad."

What's wrong, buttercup? Right-wing politics got you down? RNC '08 making you gag? Toxic and inexcusable events of the past eight years make you deeply sick to your stomach, spleen, heart, mind, spirit and even your kneecaps? Or is it the wretched notion that the bizarro-world McCain-Palin agenda wants to continue more of the same?

Or maybe it's this: Maybe it's all this terrifying new evidence that there still seems to be this huge pile of Americans who aren't all that concerned with -- or even aware of -- just how violently the GOP continues to dump all over their very heads. Is that what's making your blood boil? Aww, there, there, now.

Why Dewdrops Stay on the Rose

A carpet of minuscule bumps covered with even tinier ridges makes the dewdrops stick. Image credit: Dreamstime

Ah, roses. Their heady fragrance and delicate petals glistening with dew could soften the hardest heart.

But take a sharper look at the dewdrops. They bead, rather than spread—and that's because the material composing the petal surface doesn't bond well with water.

Yet the droplets don't roll off. What binds them to the petals?

To find out, a team of chemists led by Lin Feng of Tsinghua University in Beijing peered at the petals with a scanning electron microscope. What they saw was a carpet of minuscule bumps covered with even tinier ridges. To confirm that those structures — and not the chemical makeup of the petals — are what grip the water droplets, Feng's team made a plastic cast of the petal surface. As with the original petal, water droplets stuck to the cast, even when it was turned upside down.
