Custom pics on your 26" Wheels?


You have to see this - 26" wheels with LEDs that use persistence of vision tricks to display images the size of the wheel - follow the link for video...

I'd like to see how they get power onto the wheel - the specs mention a wireless modem for transmitting images to the wheel. In the video, they even mention uploading images as you drive.

Clean your Screen with Brasso


I've read for a while now that you could clean your iPod or cell screen with Brasso, but never had a bad enough scratch to try it. Recently, I was a mega-dork and answered my phone after using some "GreatStuff" expanding foam - that stuff is like expanding superglue...needless to say I got permacrud on my Blackberry 7100t screen. A quick polishing adventure with Brasso and a cotton pad removed all the crud, and took out a really annoying vertical scratch. Here's a link to instructions with photos, but I just put some on a cotton pad and buffed out the crud.

Modern Car Safety


Check out this video - this is amazing - the Audi TT is completely crushed by a semi and a bus, and the driver walks away... Watch the whole video - its worth it :)
