now you can see where to work area a small 'bite'of material

easiest way is with a dremel or knife. Now you can carry around charged batteries! sick!

if you have this problemwith your durabuilt drill...

notice how the power button automatically gets pressed every time the case vibrates the smallest bit.

notice how the led gets turned on?

the real problem is worse than that, but, let's make a quick mod...

she's right. the only true thing she's ever said. err.. except for that part about it being necessary to celebrate it. Must we also celebrate putting air in our tires, boiling water, and everything else that makes us human? Why, I wonder what she's celebrating right now!

Doesn't anyone speak to the obvious in this video? The girl's mother abuses the father on camera. Can you imagine why the girl would be compelled to gain attention? Think about it. It's a dream come true for her to expose her parents as the angry, abusive people they are.

sonification of data is awesome
