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.

Tripods are for tarts...Ever wondered how to get a close-up of a 200kmh Radio controlled Glider?
So did we.
Sellotape, an Ixus 55 and a fishing pole...
The plane: The Retox. Pressure-moulded carbon fibre, My own design, Machined aluminium moulds (I love my job), tail-less and faster than a greased whippet.
For camera solutions, see here.. Needs improvement mind you...

EDIT: I've also converted a wheelie-bin, a big 415V pump and a load of scrap electrical gubbins/scrap from work to make a fully automated watering system for our Veggie patch... 200 square meters of garden watered in 2 minutes at 100psi... turns on at 8:30 every night and waters fora couple of minutes, taking water from our rather large natural pond. But that shit's boring. Right? :)
