Old Skateboards Become Magnificent Peruvian Art!
Sometimes I wish I had continued riding that second-hand skateboard of mine when I was a bit younger. Maybe I could have become the Tony Hawk of geeks or something.

Used Computer Parts Become Realistic Vehicles
Being a computer geek, I have tons of used hard drives, mice and other items all connected to a computer.

R2-D2 has always been my favorite astromech droid. If he was human, Artoo could have been the perfect man.

How Old Newspapers Become D’Eco Art

John’s Phone: When Dumb Becomes The New Smart!
The speed at which we see new technology developing is getting ever faster. It's both inspiring and dangerous and the reasons for both are many. I am sure I could sit here all day debating with someone who doesn't like technology why new gadgets are wonderful and also why they are not. I could al ...

Here Is The World’s First Bionic…Cat!
Everyone deserves a second chance. Not long ago I sent a tweet saying "Life is all about making mistakes. All you have to do is make sure you don't make the same one twice." In a sense, I don't agree with that myself cause if you can find the love and respect in your heart to give someone a second ...
