07/26/2009 - Build a Tandem Bicycle Cheaply from 2 Bicycles with or without a Welder
Tandem Bicycle
About 2 years ago I saw someone had built a tandem bicycle from 2 bicycles, a broomstick and some duct tape. The most innovative part was using the seatpost from the front bicycle as the steering tube support for the rear bicycle. In just doing that the bicycle is almost completely stable and supported, since each bicycle is designed to take the load at that point anyways. The only thing left to do is stabilize the rest of it with something on the bottom. Follow this link for the Tandem Pictures and Explanation..

07/18/2009 - LCD Monitors
Black and White Monitor Image
A while back a friend mentioned a LCD monitor that he'd seen in the trash with a "free - broken" post-it on the front. I figured I'd go pick it up as I had good luck with the previous monitor in the same situation. Through some troubleshooting I figured out that it was the backlight inverter that had died. I found a new backlight inverter on Ebay for about $30 plus shipping - way too much time and money to put into another LCD monitor that I didn't really need. So I decided that a LCD overhead projector would be a better investment since it seemed like a fairly fun thing to try out.
