Make blog's on a roll
I know, you could go just read Make, but here's a few cherry-picked items:
Nerd gifts < $100.
RoboBartender. The opening scene where he pours a thousand shots is brutal. (See also, Modern Drunkard and Liquor Snob)
RoboM&M-Sorter: "Identifying color is easy with the new Texas Advanced Optical Systems TCS230 frequency to color sensor."
Book Binding is much cooler than foot binding.
Soda+Mentos = Kablam!

A Toast to the Drunkards!
In addition to the new "Modern Drunkard" book, "On The House: The Bizarre Killing of Michael Malloy" recently hit the book stores. It's the true story of a Depression-era drunkard who thwarted numerous attempts on his life. All except the last one, of course. Check out the author's web site at http://www.simon-read.com.
The Oakland Tribune called it a "firecracker of a thriller." Another reviewer noted that Malloy "had more lives than a Hindu cat," adding, "I've never read a true-crime book like it. Neither have you." The Bronx district attorney who prosecuted the case back-in-the-day described it as the "most grotesque chain of events in New York criminal history." Liquorsnob.com declared, "it's definitely worth a read -- if you can stomach it."
It's grisly. It's gritty. It's guzzly. It's a cult classic in the making. You get the picture... Cheers.
