What time is it?

Rick has made a nice looking hard drive clock with good instructions on how to build your own! “This is a hard drive clock that requires only a power drill and some basic hand tools. No electronics knowledge is necessary. Total project time: 60-90 minutes. Supplies: * Old hard drive (duh). I happened to find a 5.25″ model while working at FreeGeek. Smaller or bigger drives could be just as fun. * A clock movement from your local craft&hobby store. Get the one with the longest shaft you can. Mine was 3/4″ and it fit perfectly. * I used a bit of old IDE cable to help support the bottom of the clock. You may need to get creative to get yours to hang parrallel to the wall. * A six pack of your favorite beverage to celebrate your cool looking clock. Tools: * Hand drill with bits up to the size of the clock movement shaft. I needed a 5/16″ hole for mine. * Various screw drivers, perhaps with hex or torx bits, depending on the model of your drive. * A hammer * If you do the IDE cable trick I describe, you’ll need a utility knife (or sturdy scissors) and some hot glue.” Source : Hackedgadgets.com

Pylones Mini Refrigerators

Perfect for girls who like spending time outdoors. You'll need a car, so you could plug the funky mini fridge into the DC power supply of your car. On the other hand you'll always have a fridge at hand and all the food and drinks will be stored in safe coolness. So since the capacity of such chill-out mini gadgets is rather limited it would be impossible to use it as the chief cooling device in a house, but it would be perfect for any other room. There is an AC adapter foreseen for cases you don't really go out in the nature.

Sonic Boom

The Sonic Boom is an alarm clock in the shape of a pink heart. These are the usual characteristics. However the manufacturer has made a surprise present for all of us... two of them: one smaller and another bigger. The two surprises are actually two main feats, which differentiate the Sonic Boom from the model having these features - Sonic Boom Love.
