The Pedal Powered Home: Post Apocalyptic Appliances
I sometimes wonder what would happen if all the theories about a solar flair being so strong that it actually wiped out all the technology on earth came true.

Do you remember back in the old days when people used to make Jello molds? My mother used to make those when we were young. She would put canned fruit inside them and whipped cream on top. Another thing my mother used to do is go to Tupperware parties. Does anyone still do that these days? I ha ...

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.

This Fortune Cookie Coin Purse Holds A Small Fortune
Is it just me or does it seem like many of the new designs recently are inspired by fortune cookies? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it.
