DIY iPhone stylus

I knew these shouldn’t be too hard to make, but didn’t turn up right away a few months ago when I looked via Google, so I gave up. Or got distracted. Or something to eat appeared. Anyhow, this here video explains how to make yer own. It doesn’t explain where to get conductive foam, but [...]

On the way to Ultima Thule

Why can’t they make the maps on the plane interactive? I don’t care about the global view or the temperature and local time where I’m headed: I just want to look at the closest most detailed map they have. Related posts No related posts.

a new wrinkle to registration

I am getting tired of cleaning out registration spam (they don’t comment, but they do create tons of fake registrations), so I’ve added a new captcha thing to the commenter registration.

some MMH housekeeping

Been getting many new usersover the past couple months, but none of them ever comment. I don’t know if this is a bunch of lurkers, but since most of names and emails seemed random, I started scanning WordPress sites to see if this was some sort of known spam or hack attempt. Well, finally found [...]
