Personalized M&M’s

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

custom m&m'sI think these custom printed M&M’s are worth mentioning. Admittedly, the only DIY part is choosing the color and adding the message, but that’s more power over a candy than I’ve ever had before and frankly, I think it is very cool.

You could propose, break-up (okay, that would be bad), congratulate, thank, do just about anything that can fit on the back of an M&M. With a huge variety of packaging options and a decent color selection you can make it fit any occasion. I’m sure they will be a hit as wedding favors or shower favors. What fun messages would you dream up?

Matt Tovey’s Homemade 2.8-TFLOP CPU Desk

Monday, August 27th, 2007

cpudesk.jpgMatt Tovey made this really slick table using 434 Itanium CPUs on the way to the trash can. Rather than waste some perfectly good hardware (list price as of last year for all those chips: over $800,000), he made a striking and unique desk for himself. Check out his detailed step-by-step, with plenty of photos, over at his blog. Nice work, Matt. I’ll take two. [Matt’s Projects via Neatorama]

Taking my queues from Bre’s article on making messenger bags from trash bags I decided to make my own messenger bags. Here’s my first bag, a ‘practice’ bag I made out of cheap blue plastic tarp.
