DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Not so much a techno hack...as more a hack of techno stuff...
My then girlfriend, now wife (and as of two days ago mother of my son) was something of a stickler for cleaning things "properly" when we first met (I've since cured her of that by being a consistently sloppy pig until she just gave up) and the dust that got caught in skirting boards drove her mad.
Until the day she spotted a tech at work cleaning a powerboard of dust with a can of some compressed air.
An expensive can...
So she started bringing the things home and using them to clean the house.
At one stage it is estimated it was costing about $20 per two metres of skirting board the dust the place.
Good thing they were "free".

Not trying to ruin the mood, but how do you know she's the mother of your son?I'd make her take a DNA test just to be certain...
