Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
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

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 :-)...
