Interesting things found whilst surfing

Some interesting things I found recently that I think others might be interested in: A video of a cool 6 bit adder made from wood and marbles -- I think this will be really useful for explaining binary maths to my kids when they show an interest. (More detail). A wooden combination lock. There is also a page describing the build of the lock. A repeatable morticing jig for a table saw, with full build instructions. He also built a cool box joint jig with plans available. A pistol for playing jenga with an unfair advantage, that's my kind of cheating. You'll notice all of these videos are from Matthias Wandel. He has a YouTube channel and seems like my sort of geek. I am sure there will be more links from him as I work through his 7 years (!) of videos.

Because there are fewer and fewer of us, I must help keep our lineage alive. I am looking for someone to help me do this. I need a woman (obviously) who is willing to raise a child with me in the method of Unix. Our child will be introduced to computers at a young age, and will be setting emacs mode before any other child can even read. I earn a sufficient income to support a family in modest comfort. Other than the fact our child will be bright, text-based and sarcastic, we will otherwise be a normal family. We will even go to Disney World and see Mickey Mouse. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/485967082.html Via IRC.

I'm killing time at my mother in law's at the moment, before bussing it back to Sydney (on the way back to the US) tomorrow, and I figured I'd visit Damn Interesting again. Some of the gems from this trip: An article on the use of deliberately introduced infections to treat tumours. How about a research who uses evolution to improve his FGPA code? In the end, he can't even fully explain why the circuit works, but it does... Freezing hamsters and then reanimating them! How about a fellow who can't remember anything since he was 15?
