Big Rig Pedal Powered Desk. The Big Rig is a large work desk and stationary bike combo that also happens to be a kinetic generator, producing power from your pedaling motions that you can use to charge gadgets, power laptops and electrocute yourself for whatever reason it might serve you. Sure, you may laugh at someone who chooses to torture themselves with bicycling endlessly just to create trickles of power, but when the apocalypse happens and the power grid goes down, whoever owns one of these things will end up the one laughing at your face.

Created by Pedal Power, the contraption features a sufficiently large desk that looks spacious enough to hold two laptops and an extra 30-plus-inch display, so you can use it to read emails, update spreadsheets, or play games while pedaling on the bike mechanism. It features an adjustable seat for accommodating users of various heights, although the desk itself is fixed. Check It Out. Inventables: The Hardware Store for Designers. The Spirit Lantern (Green Fire 2.0) Green fire is ubiquitous on the web, and making it is remarkably straightforward - provided you are not led astray, as I was, by ... let's call it poetic license. Now, after having had a rather disappointing Halloween at chez Green, when I read that a purported "chemistry teacher" found using isopropyl alcohol, rather than methanol, resulted in "a fire that alternated from orange to blue to green" and that it was "pretty cool," I now understand that to mean "after the third whippit, the normal blue and orange flames of the rubbing alcohol looked kind of green.

Then I passed out. " The rules of making green fire are as simple as they are inviolate: 1) use methanol 2) add boric acid The reason for these rules lies in ... chemistry! H3BO3 (boric acid) + 3CH3OH (methanol) --> B(OCH3)3 (trimethyl borate) + 3H2O (water!) A very small amount of the boric acid is transformed into the trimethyl borate, but as the flame of methanol burning is a very pale blue, the borate compound easily overwhelms it.

Well, we’d rather say that there’s no better place to live than a clean and organized house. Yeah, we know: it seems like we’re making chit chat and talking about something that everyone already knows. The thing is that we know great home organization secrets and applying them to your house can spare you a lot of time, time you can spend relaxing. Ah, now we got your attention! 1. Have you ever thought about this option?

2. This one is a ‘do it yourself’ kind of tip. 3. Another tip that’s so easy to do and apply to any home. 4. Another great idea! 5. Do you hate to see your office supplies and generic “junk” lying around? 6. Usually, garages are filled with clutter and things we don’t use, so every little inch of the floor is occupied. 7. Cool idea… Imagine that, for some reason, you have extra shower curtain rings lying around. 8. The pegboard is a classic. 9. 10. Empty paint cans are great for organizing purposes. 11. 12. It’s a new way of transferring money from bank accounts in different countries.

Here’s the short version of what TransferWise is: Transfer money between foreign bank acounts and avoid the ridiculous bank fees. Transferwise has bank accounts set up all around the world. You make a transfer first to their local account and then they send you money from another account into your foreign bank. Hence avoiding the international fee. Since the US doesn’t have the same banking procedures (bank to bank transfers are very common in Europe) the deal is a bit more obvious for people in other parts of the world. But it still a great deal. Here’s the pricing: Most countries have a .5% (1/2%) fee! Since money is involved I wanted to use this new service and investigate it thoroughly before recommending it.

For four months now I have been sending money home to a US bank account. TransferWise is designed to avoid that whole scenario. This can also be used to receive money. Who will care for your animals after your death? If you are fortunate, family or friends will do so. The specifics should be part of your estate planning; you should not take anything for granted. People may not be able or willing to take on the responsibility for your pets. After the death of an owner, beloved pets may be dumped at a shelter or tossed out of the house or even euthanized. Old cats that have only known one home and one owner, end up sitting in a cage, bewildered and depressed. When someone comes to the shelter looking for a pet, they are going to adopt the young, outgoing cat, not the depressed animal sitting in the back of her cage. If it is not a no-kill shelter, the feline survivor will soon be euthanized.

To avoid this, you need to plan. You cannot just leave money (or anything else) to your pets. If you leave money to a dog, you will be considered crazy (or eccentric, if you were rich enough). This book is somewhat pricey for a paperback, but cheap for legal advice. If you are inundated with credit card offers, OptOutPrescreen.com is the best way to stop them. It’s like the “Do Not Call” list for credit card offers. About a year after I started college, I began getting credit card offers. On a bad day I’d receive up to four offers from various credit card companies. Having to deal with that much junk mail was a real annoyance, and I tended to throw the envelopes into a box and either shred them or burn them all at one time. One day, a year or so after I finished college, I was sitting in the lobby of my mechanic shop and reading the newspaper. So that afternoon I went to the website and filled out the required info (name, address, SSN, and date of birth.) My experience matched with OptOutPrescreen.com’s confirmation page, which states “Your request will be completed within 5 business days.

Great service, highly recommended. 31. Sumatra, Indonesia Indonesia is another surprisingly diverse nation.
