Ruler Pencils: a brilliant idea, invented by a kid. by Brand New Box. It's a ruler and a pencil all in one. It's simple, it's obvious, and it's the brainchild of an eleven-year-old named Nathan. You can help him make it happen. We're a design firm in San Diego. A few weeks ago our 11-year-old friend Nathan sent us this adorable email: We cajoled him into sharing the idea, which was this: Shortly after that, Nathan emailed again with this important message: We're a web design firm, but we both come from backgrounds in product design.

We realized that Ruler Pencil is not only a good idea, it's actually quite do-able. Nathan's been planning it all out, but we're helping him with the actual production, design, and fulfillment. Backer Rewards We need to help Nathan raise $350 to get a minimum order. Here’s what our project backers will get in return, (besides the very good feeling of helping an 11-year-old make his dreams a reality): For $5, he'll mail you a package of 5 Ruler Pencils. Thanks for considering backing our project! Reports: Police Force Wife Of Nobel Prize Winner from Home : The Two-Way. Multi-purpose holder from kitchen whisk. This Instructable shows you how to build a multipurpose holder for displaying everything from fruits & vegetables to your beloved cellphone charger using a simple metallic kitchen whisk. You'll need a pincer tool, a metallic kitchen whisk (thanks to HBB for this one) and both of your hands.

Step 1: Remove central metallic holder First of all you need to remove that metallic holder piece in the center of the whisk. Use a pincher to cut the metal next to the holes of each "arm" of the whisk. Then you can remove the metallic holder. Step 2: Fold first "petal" Bend up one of the petal-shaped whisk part so that it is perpendicular to the handle. Step 3: Fold rest of petals save one Fold up all "petals" except one : the petal which is in the same plane as the "wall holder" will act as a stabilizer.

Step 4: Tweak stabilizer Make sure the stabilizer touches the wall all the way. Step 5: Put on a nail on the wall and load it up. Oblivion.

Xanatos Roulette. Shock: social science fiction. Version 1.2 Shock: Social Science Fiction is a fiction game of culture and future shock. Based on the works of Bruce Sterling, Kim Stanley Robinson, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Philip K. Dick, the game pushes the players to make stories that matter to them — stories about politics, philosophy, love, and death. Create a World At the core of the world-creation system is the Grid, a method of world creation that uses social concerns and Shocks, to build a fictional world custom-built for the type of story the players want to experience. It cross-references concerns of the players with Shocks to create characters devised to confront those issues. The Most Important Character in the Universe Players are responsible for both Protagonists and Antagonists, principles with motivation and resources: they represent what you care about as a player and act in a way that highlights and questions the things you care about.
