Auto On/Off LED Throwie
This is my version of the LED Throwie. The design isn't mine, this is just my mod of it. In the original design, the LED Throwie is on from the moment you put it together. This can be annoying if you're planning to make tons of these, or if you want to make them ahead of time but not have the battery run out. Someone has already posted a mod that adds an on/off tab to the throwie, however I've taken it one step further: in this design the throwie automatically turns on when it sticks to something, and turns off as soon as you remove it! It's just as simple to make as normal throwies, and doesn't require any extra materials either! I'll point out that though this instructable may seem long or complicated at first, it's only because I wanted to make sure it was well documented. From the original throwie: Developed by the Graffiti Research Lab a division of the Eyebeam R&D OpenLab, LED Throwies are an inexpensive way to add color to any ferromagnetic surface in your neighborhood.

The EMP threat: fact, fiction, and response (part 1) (page 1)
by Yousaf M. ButtMonday, January 25, 2010 A nuclear weapon explodes high above the US, unleashing a deadly electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that almost instantly knocks out much of our electrical grid. The electronic control systems in our water, oil, and gas distribution systems fail, and other infrastructure such as telecommunications and transport grind to a halt. But how likely is this scenario and what should we do about it? The precise effects of nuclear EMP are difficult to predict but depend on, among other factors, the yield of the weapon, the detonation altitude, as well as upon the geographic latitude and the magnitude of the local geomagnetic field. I first briefly describe the source of the various types of electromagnetic pulses that are the sub-components of what is generically termed “EMP”: E1, E2 and E3. Description of nuclear electromagnetic pulses The above discussion applies to the prompt, high-amplitude, “E1”, signal from the nuclear detonation. Dr.

Lime Green Duct Tape = Supafly Utility Belt of PWNAGE
So i have a bunch of friends who make fun of how i knit, sew, and make a bunch of seemingly useless things just cuz i have time on my hands. However, they did give me a great idea on this one. My friend Alison was making a joke while i was knitting one day that i should make a utility belt to hold all of my knitting/sewing needs. I just laughed, but when i had no homework the other day, i thought to my self "hey, i have this role of duct tape, and an old belt, maybe i should give it a try!" Questions? oh, and i wore it to school to, and oh boy the looks i got.
