Welcome diversions on the Web
Case for a case
Some of you will know what 'casemodding' is. You take an old computer case and turn it into a sculpture. Sounds dreadful, I know, but have a look at these German samples. They're not bad. (Note: Weiter means 'next')
For Alpha Geeks only
How would you like to set up a very small aperture terminal satellite system in Iraq? Well, even if you would not, this is a pretty amazing site. It takes you through the steps of doing just that. If you would not describe yourself as an 'alpha geek', you may want to skip this one. www.livejournal.com/users/ioerror/179521.html?nc=8
Gunning for bush
The popularity of the US president has been in steady decline for several months now, but this is almost ridiculous. Somebody wants to set up a site to sue him for the way he uses his iPod. A staff member 'downloaded' some tunes and, well, you get it, right? http://downhillbattle.org/node/view/484
The Mask of Command
This site presents a toy for the most diehard Star Wars fan. The mask is supposed to make you sound like Darth Vader. One bright person asked what would happen if James Earl Jones (Darth Vader's voice in the films) spoke through it. www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproductproduct_

Plummet the depths
This site takes the description 'inflatable' to a new low. Chinese manufacturer Chinee Inflatable is offering a waterslide 20 metres long resembling the Titanic, complete with half the ship out of the water. Whatever floats your boat. www.china-inflatables.com.cn/products/slides/T8-136.htm
