Smart playlists are one of those often overlooked and underutilized features of iTunes. Dean Cheesman has an article outlining how to put your smart playlists on steroids and beef up your music management system. He gives a bunch of screenshots (like the one above) of example playlists and explains the logic behind them. You can tell he’s spent a lot of time thinking about some of these.
Got granite counter tops? See if you’re slowly radiating yourself by building a Geiger counter. This little guy is capable of detecting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Pretty cool, but even the kit (or buying the parts separately) is pretty expensive. The cheaper way to tell is to sit on your counter for a while and then see if you can still reproduce. If anyone knows any other cheap or DIY solutions for radiation detection, sound off in the comments!
Alright guys, gas is getting expensive. The car companies are taking way too long to come out with Hydrogen powered cars, so I say we convert our cars ourselves. Simple remove your engine and fill your engine bay with these wine glass contraptions and you should be good to go.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell. [Thanks, Dan]
We all know that when it comes to designing and printing labels, it can be a huge pain. Most of us probably don’t do it often enough that we have a system down, so we inevitably have to Google around for template sheets, figure out what program to use for designing, get our printing situation all figured out, etc. It can be a daunting situation when all you want is a few simple labels.
Enter autofillPDF-Labels 1.0 from our friends at Worldlabel.com. These spiffy (and free) PDF label templates take a lot of the annoyance of label making out of the equation. As long as you have Adobe Acrobat (also free), you simply open the file, fill out a single label, and the rest are filled in automatically for you. We love little time saving shortcuts like this.
Now go label everything you own!

Hey everyone! Look at this cool piece of software for Macs that allows you to create models from virtual lego-like building blocks. Now you can build that awesome Star Destroyer without having to fork over your life savings for the real thing. Anyone know of a similar piece of software for Windows?
Have you ever used a tooth tunes toothbrush? Probably not, because they’re for children - but these things are pretty neat-o. They play music inside your head using bone conduction while you brush. The idea is that kids will listen to the entire song before they stop, thus brushing their teeth for long enough.
Problem is, it only comes with one song. If you want to hook up your iPod to the thing it’s going to require a little hacking. This guide show you how to take apart the tooth tunes toothbrush, and the rest is up to you. Happy hacking!
