TORN | Text Based Games - Online RPG Game - Free Sign Up 18 DIY office hacks that will blow your mind SURE, your iPhone is cool and all. But wouldn’t it be cooler if it were powered by toilet paper speakers and propped up by binder clips? To figure out the answer to that question, the Huffington Post tried out many of the most brilliant DIY computer hacks we had heard of. Here are the best of the bunch, which often require little more than random office supplies but make life way, way better. = iPhone SPEAKERS We were initially sceptical about the possibility of creating iPhone speakers out of two plastic cups, one roll of toilet paper and a pair of scissors. OK, so maybe we’re not going to win a design award anytime soon. If tossing together two plastic cups and a toilet paper roll is beyond your artistic capabilities (or you are actually the laziest person alive), plop your phone in a plastic cup or a mug. Flatten out a paperclip and wrap adhesive tape (sticky-side out) around the top of the paperclip. Carefully insert it into your headphone jack. = iPhone TRIPOD Voila! = iPhone STAND
The Aviation Herald The Writer's Workshop: Seattle writing classes, travel writing classes and online writing courses Fiction writing is a wonderful adventure, allowing writers to create compelling characters, indulge in wild loops of imagination, and satisfy some of their deepest yearnings for pattern, mystery, and coherence in their lives. But while fiction writing allows for great freedom, it also demands mastery of form and structure to succeed. An ability to manipulate form and structure allows a writer to create stories that entrance readers and bring them along for the ride. The mastery of these techniques does not come easily, alas.

The Serengeti Lion | National Geographic Magazine About the Project Enter the world of the Vumbi pride. The lions strut and grimace, bare their teeth. One drapes a paw indolently, another nuzzles. Photographer Michael “Nick” Nichols and videographer Nathan Williamson were determined to break new visual ground when they made several extended trips to the Serengeti between July 2011 and January 2013. A remote-control toy car and a rugged robot tank gave them an unobtrusive way to make images up close and at low angles. In this multimedia presentation Nichols and Williamson re-create the feast and famine of the plains; the purring, bleating, and roaring of these cats; the fragile balance of lion survival.

Moxie Marlinspike >> About This site is a partial collection of projects I've worked on, stories I've written down, and software I've published. In the past, I've worked as a software engineer, hacker, sailor, captain, and shipwright. I used to travel a lot; I've hopped freight trains across the US from coast-to-coast a bunch of times, have gotten some really great and some really terrible rides hitchhiking all across America, and have sailed a few near-derelict sailboats as far as I could take them. I currently live in San Francisco. I like computer security and software development, particularly in the areas of secure protocols, cryptography, privacy, and anonymity. I like sailing, have a Master's mariner license, and used to do yacht deliveries world-wide.
