Infusion Profusion: Game-Changing Fast ‘N Cheap Technique
"You can infuse flavors into liquor (and water based things, too) almost instantly with nothing more than an [nitrous] Cream Whipper. You can use seeds, herbs, spiced, fruits, cocoa nibs, etc. Here’s how:

Put room-temperature booze into the cream whipper. Add herbs, seeds, whatever. Close the whipper and charge it with nitrous oxide (N2O –the regular whipped cream chargers). Swirl gently 30 seconds and let stand 30 seconds more. Quickly vent the N2O out of the whipper, open it, and strain out the infusion. Done."

ignore the code: Realism in UI Design
"The trick is to figure out which details help users identify the UI element, and which details distract from its intended meaning. Some details help users figure out what they’re looking at and how they can interact with it; other details distract from the idea you’re trying to convey. They turn your interface element from a concept into a specific thing. Thus, if an interface element is too distinct from its real-life counterpart, it becomes too hard to recognize. On the other hand, if it is too realistic, people are unable to figure out that you’re trying to communicate an idea, and what idea that might be."

My Nethack YAAP
"The ultimate computer game for the imagination. That sounds like a pretty outlandish title, huh ... but I mean what I say. By accident as much as design, Nethack has evolved as a game that is uniquely suited to exercise the imagination. It takes place in a complicated, colorful world, and it describes that world using a method that shows you exactly what's going on ... but which also demands - insists - that you use your creative skills to visualize, hear, and feel the environment. This unique game doesn't draw you into itself - it compels you to draw yourself into it. "

How-To: Build a WiFi biquad dish antenna - Engadget
"We expected to get one AP, but five is even better. Looking through the info strings we were able to determine where the APs were since the WISP had named them according to the town they are in. The AP on channel 5 is the one we pointed at in town A, 2.4 miles away. The AP on channel 6 is located in town B, 8.2 miles away. The two APs on channel 1 are a bridge between town A and town C which is located 2.6 miles directly behind the dish."
