The Shirt. As with all these designs, try to start with a relatively clean, crisp bill. It will make it much easier. All folds should be sharply creased. It helps to go over the fold with a fingernail on a flat, hard surface. Start by folding the bill precisely in half lengthwise. (I prefer to fold in toward the front of the bill. I think it produces a nicer design on the end product. For your first attempt, it will be easier to follow exactly the same orientation on the bill as shown in the photos.) Fold the bill one quarter of the way in from each side lengthwise. Turn the bill over. Turn the bill over again. Fold a little less than one third of the bill lengthwise from the opposite end as shown. Now you will fold inward in the same direction, tucking the previous fold under the "collar" created in step 4. Gently unfold the previous two folds, keeping the creases. (This step is hard to describe, but it is actually fairly easy.) (This is what it should look like after both sides are complete.)

I love watching videos about gadgets that are coming up in the near future, even if I know I can't afford them or really even use them. But every once in a while, I'll catch one that makes me question whether the makers really thought it through. I mean, you can tell they put in thousands of hours of thought into the actual technology, but when they portray how it's meant to be used, you wonder if they've ever actually spoken to another human being. #5.

Ever since House showed up on our televisions in 2004, the networks decided you couldn't have a drama without an eccentric genius in the mix. So, now you have geniuses solving mysteries using math (Numb3rs), novel writing (Castle, Bones), fake psychic powers (the Mentalist, Psych) and an ability to detect lies that borders on mind reading (Lie to Me). Among others. The key here is the characters aren't just really smart, they're incredible and borderline supernatural scientific ubermenschen who are better at their jobs than anyone has ever been at anything.

Obsolete. Facebook knows too much, ACLU says in warning of quizzes. Privacy advocates have long warned that users of Facebook and other social networks who seek amusement from quizzes like "What Simpsons Character Are You? " might be mortified by the way creators of such applications can access and potentially "scrape" personal information -- not just about the quiz-takers, but their friends as well. Now, engaging in some online jujitsu, the ACLU of Northern California is employing a cautionary Facebook quiz of its own to illustrate how quizzes that may seem "perfectly harmless" can release an array of data to the wider world -- including users' "religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, photos, events, notes, wall posts, and groups.
" The app, titled "What Do Facebook Quizzes Know About You? " delivers its answer by opening a window that scrolls biographical data, attributed comments and photos. More than 8,000 participants have taken the ACLU's quiz since it was quietly released a few days ago, the ACLU said Wednesday. The Palo Alto, Calif. Dabbleboard.

Top 10 Ways to Get Cables Under Control - Lifehacker. I rely on zip ties, but one of the coolest items I've ever discovered is from my favorite supply house, mcmaster-carr. (I know they're available many places, but [McMaster.com] is like nirvana for DIY'ers). The device is a small plastic anchor with a sticky back and a screw hole. The front has loops for running a zip tie through. So, you stick this to the wall, underside of a desk, surface of a desk, etc.
If it will be holding weight you put a screw through and into the surface, then you pass a zip tie through and cinch the bundle of wires/cables right up against the anchor. I run these under the back edge of my desk so that the wires are totally hidden. The item is here: [www.mcmaster.com] How to Break into a Mac (And Prevent It from Happening to You)

Learn How To Hack Those Electronic Road Signs… It’s Really Easy – Dog and Pony Show - Better at the internet than you... There’s an App for That (Part of Your Soul) In the past ten years, technology has found its wheelhouse: connecting us socially. A perfect storm materialized: the Internet, mobile devices and our overwhelming desire to connect with one another converged to create apps and experiences that connect us with one another. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram, we do things online mainly for the purpose of sharing them with others. In the midst of all the social app hubbub, we haven’t bothered to consider the potential for technology to serve the other needs of the human condition.

So without further ado, we bring you three brand new royalty-free application ideas that speak to the rest of the human condition.

This is a VT220 serial console (circa 1983) set up as a terminal for my Mac Pro (circa 2010), a nerdy dream I’ve had for a long time that I finally made a reality yesterday. Some quick history: in the early days of office computers, it was rare that you would actually have one on your desk. Instead there might be a central mainframe (running Unix) and everyone would have a terminal that connected to it over a long serial cable or modem connection.
One computer, many users. The terminal has a keyboard and monitor, but it’s not a full computer and worthless without the mainframe. It’s more like a teletype machine, all it can do is display the text sent to it (like a paperless printer) and send text back. It doesn’t have any knowledge of pixels or colors or graphics of any kind. In modern times we don’t have mainframes in the average office, but Unix is more prevalent than ever.
Hardware terminals regularly crop up on eBay for around $100. 100 Websites You Should Know and Use.

I admit it. When I first heard there are actual tournaments for Rock-paper-scissors, sanctioned by the World Rock Paper Scissors Society, I laughed. I mean seriously, $50k to the winner of a game that requires no skill whatsoever? Absurd. Boy was I wrong. Rock-paper-scissors isn't just a silly game kids play or a way to decide who has to be the designated driver at parties. This is serious stuff. It's psychological warfare. Males have a tendency to throw rock on their first try, inexperienced RPS players will subconsciously deliver the item that won previously, and paper is thrown least often, so use it as a surprise.
