A fun project if you have a little time and the right tools; ie a drill press. A steady hand and a small dremel tool could do the trick as well.
My personal record on solving the rubiks is 1 minute and 32 seconds. That was years ago but I can still get it done in about 5 minutes or so.
The latest puzzle I have been working on is the
K-Ball. I gotta tell you, it's kicking my butt.
What OpenOffice is for Windows, NeoOffice is for the Mac. it can work with Microsoft Office files and even better, it's completely free. You can't go wrong with this. Why spend the big bucks! Version 2.2.1 has just been released today. Unfortunately it doesn't help me much.
Now this is a great project that let's you replace a snooze button with a "shock" function on your alarm clock. In short, you can hit/shake your alarm clock anywhere and snooze will engage.
This project is not for beginners and is meant for people with good soldering skills and some knowledge of electronics. I say, with a little practice, anyone can do it. Enjoy!

The guys over at Engadget teamed up with some buddy's at www.iphonesimfree.com to prove that the iPhone can be cracked and by-george they have done it.

A Russian man likes to spend his time taking apart cell phones and making new cases for them out of apple tree wood. Now this just looks too cool. You have to wonder how much time it takes to make each one. As you can see, everything is wood. The antenna, battery and sim card are all encased in wood. Someone seriously needs to slap a geek sticker on this mans forehead. I say good job to you sir! http://mig-telecom.ru/a/
The link is too a Russian site (yes its in Russian) so good luck finding the story or even trying to get a hold of this guy. Anyone finds the english story about this guy please share it.
Turn an ordinary pencil into a flashlight that you can use in case of emergency's. A full pencil can last about 20 minutes. Very handy but I would be willing to bet that a lot of people would be too scared to try it.
Free wallpaper for the taking. Enjoy. Sorry had to throw the Hoover thing in.
