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.

driving water deeperIf it's clean water - it doesn't really matter.
If it's dirty - you need to rinse it out anyway.
A hairdrier doesn't really do what you want - which is sustained high temperatures.
Rice - or silica gel - is generally not great.
Even in a really dry place at 25C - not much water will evaporate.
Raise the temp to 50 or 80C for a day or so - and all the water gets out.
