I am 30% Extrovert, 70% Introvert
Posted by Rob at August 31st, 2006
You are quite reserved
You aren’t afraid of social situations…
But you very much prefer to go it alone
And why not? You’re your own best friend!

And how do I find out my penis name?
How can you have a penis name? You don’t have a penis, unless you are keeping something from me
Broken Printer
Posted by Rob at August 31st, 2006
Have you ever had your printer jam? Do you feel like you want to destroy your printer? This US Army solider did.
He didn’t like the support that he got from Hewlett Packard. The model in question was a HP5510.
Some how i don’t that shooting your printer full of holes is an approved method of clearing a paper jam. But it is a satifying way i guess.

Laser etching a Powerbook
Posted by Geneva at August 30th, 2006
When I first saw those crazy kids at Make magazine laser-etching their laptops, I thought, “I want that! But where the heck will I find a $20,000 laser cutter?” Luckily I got to visit Make HQ this past weekend at FOO Camp, and got a Celtic knot tattooed onto my Powerbook.
Check out the (admittedly crappy cameraphone) video to see the etching in action, and hit the jump for some more photos and other designs.
The Epilog laser cutter was hooked up to a Windows machine running Corel Draw. I designed my knot in Photoshop, dropped it onto a thumb drive as a .bmp file, and loaded it into Corel Draw. We did a dry run on a piece of paper to line up the Apple in the space in the middle of the knot, but the process wasn’t an exact science. (Big ups to Chris DiBona for making sure we got it just right!)
This is the part when I knew for sure the design was in fact NOT going to touch the stem of the Apple logo, and I let out a big breath of relief.
And the finished product, which is perfectly - and unexpectedly - smooth as silk.
A few other PB’s got etched, as was a DS Lite. Digg’s Kevin Rose came by while my PB was getting etched, and he did his Macbook:
Thanks again to PT at Make and everyone at O’Reilly for making me love my Powerbook even more (and making it virtually unstealable!)
