We all know case modding, console modding and chip modding, now here’s something new… Ikea hacking or modding;
Ikea Hacker.
A whole website dedicated to chopping Ikea bits of furniture, modifying them and using them in whole new ways. Some things look a bit iffy, but there’s a lot of nice tweaks in there and some pretty creative applications.

A giant pixelart project that will continue to grow, using google maps code for navigation around the ‘city’. Check it out, not everything submitted is that creative but there are a lot of funny bits in there.
Looks like the only way you can submit something is through the SA forums, that’s a bit of a shame as I’m sure there are a lot more people out there who would like to contribute.

and to underline that announcement, the Portal ending song:

So yeah, another bad case of ‘life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans’. So all my plans around here are put on hold for a bit as we focus on more immediate concerns.
But the news website was coming along nicely until I hit some UTF-8 snags which I haven’t had time to fix yet. Surprisingly the whole thing is already getting more traffic than expected without an official launch, so yay for that.
Ah yeah, and I still have to put the winning banner up on the forum. Soon.

Too much to do, too little time, too much to keep track of. Sound familiar? Yeah, same here. So in the spirit of Getting Things Done I’ve had enough of having to click through lots of sites of interest, news sites where 75% of the news is of no interest to me and I want to do something about it. I want to make a new site this weekend where I have a frontpage that gives me a quick and easy to read overview of all the news that I like. News meaning new stuff online that is of interest to me. So that means WordPress news, photography tips and tricks, Photoshop tutorials, web design related info, a bit of gaming, a spot of weirdness around the world and sprinkled with a drop of randomness for good measure.
So here we go.

And while we’re on the subject, feel free to post a comment with any sites you keep track of. If I like them, I’ll add them, assuming they have an RSS feed.
