  • Cuttin’ Glass and Taking Names Ever looked at a wine bottle to admire its shape, color, or translucent qualities?

    Thinking seriously about having better inclement weather preparations, as well as overall better storage for food stuffs led me to this. I'm somewhat itching for a building project. This looks like fun.

Things I read, liked and bookmarked in the last 24 hours:

  • Make This: Boon Stash Storage System
    Individual storage compartments for sorting everyday objects is always good for workspace organization. Like a cafeteria tray for your junk drawer or home office, this simple, pre-built storage system is an easy, inexpensive, and attractive DIY when you've got some PVC on-hand.
  • How Long Do Coffee Beans Last Once Opened?
    To check if your beans are fresh, scoop 1/2 cup into a zipper-lock bag and press out all the air, then seal the bag and leave it overnight. If the beans are within seven to 10 days of roasting, they will make the bag puff up from the carbon dioxide that they release. If the bag remains flat, then the beans are not producing gas—a sign they've passed the point of peak freshness.
  • The Burger Lab: The Fake Shack
    According to Adam's sources, the meat is a 50:25:25 blend of sirloin, chuck, and brisket. Don't use too much oil. With a Shack Burger, you want the meat to stick to the pan—that's how it gets that flat, sheath-like crust.

Things I read, liked and bookmarked in the last 24 hours:

  • Master Lock : MarkEdwardCampos The instructions are pretty self-explanatory, and while there's no secret sauce that'll instantly crack the combination for you without a little bit of tedious trial and error, this method will crack that 64,000-possible-combinations lock in 100 tries or less.
  • INSIGHT: "Because it sucks" is not a reason to redesign Starting the conversation with a team about what’s right leads to very interesting results. Especially when someone says “Nothing”.

    svn rm .; commit -m ‘ctrl-z’
