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.

i believe this is a port from the xbox media centre. got a macbook pro hooked up to my tv via hdmi with this running on it. it's ace. automatically downloads covers, synopses, reviews and background music for all of your movies/tv series, links up with your itunes (even remotely from another computer on the network) and can stream pretty much anything from the interweb that you'd want - youtube, iplayer, 4od, TED, apple trailers.
Best of all it's freeeeee. thoroughly recommend it.
