Just a Washer And a Bolt - An Ingenious Camera ... →
It is amazing what you can do with one 1/4” bolt, a washer and a piece of string.
With less then 1$ at Home Depot, you’ll get a tiny stabilizer for your camera. The maker of this flick claims to gain 3 stops. I’d bet on around two, but it is good enough for 1 buck.

Five Essential Tools for Moving [Moving] →
Having just spent the long weekend moving into a new place, I learned the hard way that there are little things you can do and tools you should have plenty of on hand to make things go smoothly. Boxing up every single one of your possessions and transporting them to your new residence to set them all up again is a huge pain in the ass. Here are a few items beyond your standard boxes, tape, and...

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
You’ve gotta admire folks who bring their trade to a whole new level, even if that does mean escalating the international arms race between builders of automated, wooden, rubber band miniguns. The 24-barrel, tripod-mountable monster you see above, lovingly known as the Disintegrator, was rather amazingly hand-carved and assembled by Anthony Smith of the UK, who...
