I used to grow up watching Flintstones (while I didn’t know English back then) and although I didn’t understand a damn word, I did enjoy it thoroughly.

Here’s how to hack a toddler’s Flintstones Car for your young children.

I have a 20 month old grandaughter and a 14 month old grandson who are dressing up as Pebbles and Bambam for Halloween. I decided they needed a Flintstone Car to complete the look. This is how I made it…

Yey, it’s that favorite wacky American holiday coming up, Halloween and here’s how to make your own Pop-up Coffin Halloween Prop using some PVC pipes with some creativity.

With a home haunt, we have found that the best non-commercial cylinder to be found on the market today is the screen door closers. They contain a spring that will return them to the original closed position when the air is off and have an amazing strength. Since they are designed for pneumatic operation, we find them to be the easiest to convert and operate while their price falls within the constraints of our budget. Please remember that if you use this design, you will be doing so at your own risk and we are not held liable for any damage or injury that might result from this. With that ‘blurb’ out of the way, let’s get on with it!!!

Here’s a cool DIY on how to make an iPhone dock with binder clips!

Here it is boiled down into just 61 words: Clamp a medium sized clip to the iPod end of your cable, connector side out. Remove the wire handles and tuck the cable along the fat edge. Take a bigger clip and clamp that onto the smaller one, so that the cable runs between the gap. Remove the handles. Add iPod. Try not to knock it over and break the connector.

It seems like designers are getting more involved in the “green movement” with masterpiece DIY Coffee Tables like this, which are made from old Car Hoods.

Our advice, “re-use, re-make” and you can still come up with magnificent designs.

Using hoods from vintage American cars, Joel Hester handcrafts coffee tables in his Dallas, TX studio. Taking advantage of the bright colors of yesteryear and the patterns created by oxidization, the one-of-a-kind steel pieces add industrial chic to living rooms.

PC fans have always been a major component of PCs in the last decade but there’s a way you can passively cool your computer using no fans at all.  You can follow this cool DIY on how to passively cool your computer without any fans, it could be a great knowledge just in case you need to build a completely, noise-free computer.

I have wanted to build a fully passively cooled computer case since I had my first Athlon Thunderbird 800 MHz. That time the fan noise was amazingly high, and manufacturers didn´t much care about the noise levels, and didn’t offer products for building a quiet PC. Nowadays a quiet PC is not much of a challenge to build, but totally silent? It would require that there were no moving parts at all. But of cource there has to be the compromise of a hard-drive. One could buy a SSD drive, but at least I don’t have that kind of money to spend.

I have to admit that I have been blessed with lots of desire to learn new types of food.  Lately, I have been mastering the art of making Thai food, my favorite is Tom Kha Gai, which of course, requires some coconut milk.

Although I have heard that coconut milk is simply the juice from the coconut milk, I have never seen it in person but I did find this cool food hack on how to make coconut milk.

I think coconut milk has amazing taste when you make Thai food.  Of course, there’s many other Asian dishes you can make too but most of coconut milk in the world are still coming from Thailand.

Later on, I will have to post some pics on how to make Tom Kha Gai, it’s really good.

Squeeze out the ambrosia. They call it milk but it’s a lot like cream. Use it for cooking, making umbrella drinks. The mix of fats goes well with the deepwater fish you speared under that navigation buoy with your giant speargun.

Looks like someone was able to install OS-X on a Dell Mini, nice…

The steps to Leopard-ize the mini are actually quite simple and easy to follow. After you download the slipstreamed ISO and burn the 3.2GB ISO to a DVD you boot up the Dell mini off a external DVD drive (Press 0 (Zero) at the BIOS screen) and installed Leopard as usual.
