M&M Easter Plush!

Forgot to wish Liam HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

My M&M Easter Plush came! I got the yellow peanut guy. It has these little cute bunny ears too!

As FuzzyWuzzy says: your m&m looks stoned krunky

I brought 4 of my 6 bags of almost-a-pound dark chocolate M&M’s original to work and they were gone within a week or 2, mostly by me. Hehe. I still have 2 bags left, but I’m saving those for some other time.

Dentist guilty of urinating in surgery sink – A British dentist was found guilty Thursday of urinating in his surgery sink and using dental tools meant for patients to clean his fingernails and ears.

Chilled oil bath may cool hot processors (from Digg) – Submerging computer chips in oil could make them more energy efficient, according to a UK company that hopes to start selling such systems within a year. … Hopton first got the idea after seeing computer enthusiasts discuss the idea online. Oil does not affect the function of electronic components and offers a potentially useful cooling solution since it transports heats more efficiently than air. The company that’s planning to do this is called Very PC. I remember posting images awhile back (awhile meaning like 5,6 years ago) of some guy’s whose project was a styrofoam box, 3 jugs of mineral oil and a PC.

Study reveals “Robin Hood impulse” in human nature – People taking part in a game designed to explore egalitarian impulses in human nature consistently robbed from players assigned the most money while giving money to those with the least, scientists said on Wednesday. Tekman and Xyon were just discussing about the origin of Robin Hood the other day, if it was originally a book or if it was tale told from mouth to mouth. We finally decided to Wikipedia it and it turns out it was not originally a character from a story, but appears to be a tale told among the people.

Buy A Shredder, Hamster Powered Or Otherwise – A post on BoingBoing about a hamster-powered shredder reminded us to tell you that you need to buy a shredder. Everyone should have one. We got a small one at Target for 15 bucks. A video of it in action would be nice.

Building houses 2 (from Hjo3) – The idea is to build up the solid shape indicated by the views to the left – but only using the number of cubes given. There are 10 problems, called figuur1 to figuur10. Be warned: they are not easy. The only one I didn’t get was figure 1. Hjo3 showed me the answer later. The color coding is a bit confusing. Green means you’ve satisfied the top/front/right diagrams, but you’re still using too many blocks. When it turns yellow, it means you’ve solved it with the minimum number of blocks.

Wifi Signal Strainer (from Consumerist) – In this instructable I make a common WiFi Thumbdrive into a beefy wifi extender!’ The parabolic Asian cooking(dumpling) strainer is the perfect candidate for this project. I was able to pick up 20 more access points in the city and connect to a network a few blocks away! This is BY-FAR the most simple of all Wifi extensions!

Safe table saw (from Deadlock) – Could this be the end to shop teachers with missing fingers? Really interesting idea to stop most injuries with the table saw.

Contronyms (from FuzzyWuzzy) – The word contronym (also the synonym antagonym) is used to refer to words that, by some freak of language evolution, are their own antonyms. Both contronym and antagonym are neologisms; however, there is no alternative term that is more established in the English language. Very interesting list…
