Tap into OnStar
Finally, something for James to do with his OnStar system.

Any Vehicle with OnStar installed has a GPS reciever inside that is always on, ready to tell you exactly where you are. The problem is, the only way to access this information is to call onstar, wait for them to answer, wait for the [...]

craftgrrl: Cheap screen printing tutorial
Very simple tutorial on how to screen print a shirt. Doesn’t look as durable as the screens we used in high school, but it’s a lot easier and should be good for a few shirts.

lists and diagrams: DIY iPod stand
Handy iPod stand if you’re too cheap/poor/smart to pay $40 for the official dock.
