Okay, here’s definitely a must-get wrist gadget when you are working around your house, a magnetic wristband that can hold screws, nuts, bolts, and anything small and metal.

Handyman’s Helper is for you. The ridiculously strong magnet in this “magwear” holds onto hardware, small tools and other metallic objects…it’s so strong you can actually pile the hardware on in layers. Perfect for working on ladders, in crawlspaces, hanging pictures, under cars, or in any situation where you don’t want to loose your stuff.

The user-accessible screws on the new iPhone 3G might be an indication of user-changeable batteries. (although we highly doubt Apple would do that)

As previously noted, Apple’s new “guided tour” of the iPhone 3G demonstrates operation of the AppStore and a slew of already-detailed functionality. Closer inspection of the video has unveiled a few more revelations.

A look at the bottom of the new iPhone 3G during the video reveals new audio components on the bottom of the iPhone 3G. The left side grill is the speaker and the right hand side is the microphone. Apple purports “greatly enhanced” audio from the new hardware.

Okay, I haven’t been doing much DIYs but here’s a fun one for your bathroom.

Here’s the story:

My bathroom has a vent but no fan. Everytime I shower, the vent does not work well enough to ventilate the bathroom of the fog generated.

So, I decided to build a small little bathroom ventilation fan using some PC fans I had laying around the house and a 12 DC adaptor I also had around.

What you need:

1 PC Fan

1 12V DC Adaptor (You probably have one laying around the house too, you just don’t realize it. Look at the label of any old adaptors you have and find the one that says 12VDC. (9 to 15VDC works too)

2 screws (something to mount your PC fan onto your bathroom vent.

Now, just watch the video and see how simple it is to turn household junk into a useful bathroom vent.

These are really cool, a pack of six great looking coasters made from old and discarded circuits boards. The have a ring of vinyl until around the edges, which will help to protect your furniture, they come with a nice little tin, which can house the coasters when they are not in use, or alternatively the tin can be used for storing small items like pins or screws.

This is a nice little idea that uses an old circuit board, which would otherwise be thrown into the landfill or something even worse.

The cost of this set of six circuit board coasters is around $22.

Remember our post on building your own boat? Now this one is serious and can go on the ocean.

Check out this cool DIY on building your own Ferro-cement boat. I probably wouldn’t try building my own boat since I don’t trust myself. (what if it sinks in the sea?)

But you can build one and send us pictures of your boat for some free gadgets!

The boat is the yacht ‘Noidea’. (In case you’re wondering about the name, it comes from “What are you going to call your boat?” - answer - “No idea”).

It’s a 57′ ferro-cement ocean sailing cruiser, about which the following statistics may be interesting (then again, they may not be - in which case just skip the next bit): length 57′, beam 16′, draft 8′6″, displacement 45tons (all up). In the course of the construction we consumed 9 tons of sand, 18 tons of cement, 1.3 miles of 1/4″ steel wire, 1.3 miles of 1/6″ steel wire, 100000 wire ties, 40 sheets of 8′ x 4′ 3″ square 1/6″ wire mesh, 3500 square yards of 1/2″ chicken wire, 6.5 tons of scrap metal, countless 10000s of screws & bolts.

If you’re wondering how we went about the construction of a 57′ (17.5m) ocean-cruiser, then this might give you some idea.
