Grow Square Melons


I remember seeing pictures of square watermelons grown in China eons ago (the pictures came from eons ago, not the melons themselves). A decade or so later, Instrucables has the how-to. Looking for a fun, long-term project, one that will stun the neighbors and just might put a little cash in your pocket as well? Adding corners to otherwise round fruits just might be the way. Apparently, all it takes is a box, a hinge, a hole, and a green thumb.

Play Beer Caps

It’s just the same as memory, but with beer caps. And a bit of animation. The best bit of all is, for every cap you send them to include in the game, they’ll donate $1 to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Welcome ’09

Happy New Year. Don’t know what you got up to last night, but I hope it was merry and then some. This morning, my lady-friend woke me up to this delicious treat: a Tastykake, laced with Skittles and Gummy Bears. Sweet! It’s fun to be known and appreciated… thanks to all of you for knowing and appreciating. Can’t wait to see what the big oh nine has in store for us all.
