  perhaps I am blindish, but where did "suggest a link" get off to? Archives? I'll keep looking......

• Commented on Make your own tofu
  Er, brix is a measure of sugar in solution, not dissolved solids...but fresh tofu is delish regardless....
• Commented on Unrippable, paper-thin wallet made out of Tyvek
  This looks like a fine wallet, but the eco-spin seems to be just noise. Leather wallets are "recyclable" too. In fact, they're compostable! For thinness in a wallet, look no further than the original "All-Ett", a super-thin wallet made from...
• Commented on The Flaming Lips' double-necked <em>Guitar Hero</em> guitar
  Small correction: you said "art of the five-string craft" but guitars generally have 6 strings. (Note, though, that the "real" half of the guitar in the photo is a 12 string...)...

  First: Please don't perpetuate the myth that blade grinders can scorch beans (or even warm them appreciably). That's nonsense. Second: Zassenhaus!...
• Commented on Super Soaker Inventor Develops Mega-Efficient Solar Energy Engine
  This is so pickayunish that I hesitated to say it at all, but: Centigrade was replaced by Celsius in the late 1940s or so. Amazing how long these things stick around, eh? People still say "Palm Pilot" too......
• Commented on Glass lionfish sculpture and many glass sea-dwellers
  A very minor point, but Tim Lindemann is not a glass blower, he is a lampworker or flameworker. There are major differences in the 2 arts, though of course both involve hot glass. Nice lionfish in any case :-)...
