Can’t Afford A Real Nintendo Console? Buy A Wooden One!
Consoles today aren't exactly cheap. I remember when I was younger and decided to get myself a Nintendo NES console. Sure, it was a lot of money back then, but they were just $150 a pop.

The DIY Doggy Geek Lamp – Let Your Dog Shine

Star Trek Speakers – The Only Way To Be A Trekkie
Star Trek is a whole phenomenon in itself really. I have no experience what so ever in being a Trekkie or ever watching any of the episodes on TV.
