We considered buying a Wii U for our two boys this Christmas. Then we realised that they would fight endlessly over who would get to use the single controller when playing games together. I don't know who thought that having one controller was a good idea, but I guarantee they don't have two...

I like their cards even though I lost a lot of money on their stock, because I like their cards.

I like the Galaxy, it's where I live, and it's a good card.

Yes, it's possible. I used a Teensy to do it: http://mechanicalphilosopher.blogspot.com/2011/07/remote-power-switch-for-computer-part-1.html http://mechanicalphilosopher.blogspot.com/2011/07/remote-power-switch-for-computer-part-2.html But it's overkill and I really just did it as an excuse...

I just bought 5 Antec cases, so my odds of winning another should be sky high.

Yup, wire for jewelry (nicholasandfelice on Etsy). Used to be only earrings but because of the insanely large market online our big seller these days is shawl pins she bends out of 9 ga. aluminum wire. We make our living almost entirely off of Etsy these days. I do a line of CNC milled and die...

My desk. Don't laugh at the Dell...(through a series of happy accidents at Dell Outlet it was $160 for the XPS with a i5-750, and I've upgraded it a bit.) You can see a bit of my son's monitor through the hole in the wall. My wife's workstation. She's an Etsy machine. Notice the cheap...

That would be awesome, building a new PC for the wife after Xmas...

I just picked up the Logitech C7 Logimouse, that's reviewed in that article, today at a church rummage sale.

I shut all the PCs in the house off at night to save a small amount of money, cut down on heat and noise. Some only get turned on once or twice a week but we have at least 7 that get turned on for most of the day. The one PC I leave on is in our detached barn/studio - it keeps the temperature...

My small museum of trackballs: I just picked up this Interlink SuperMouse at Goodwill:

I have the 32 bit version running in Virtualbox, 15 minute install time.

This is my first post and I'm not sure this is either unique or a mod (as it's just sitting on top of the case for now), or in the correct thread or forum (ghetto mods?) so feel free to yell at me. My remote control PC power switch: It's Teensy based and uses an IR receiver thingy from a...

I like having two fans in case one isn't enough to achieve liftoff.

I like the fact that it holds hard drives, because you need those.

I like that it is spelled with umlauts. That makes it extra Kühl!
