Rocket Man: Model rocketry doesn’t have to be expensive or reserved for that weird kid who wants to know the effect of low-Earth orbit on his sister’s hamster. Popular Mechanics, the official magazine of the above-described weird kid, has free plans to build four different soda-bottle rockets that fly high and fast, but don’t blow up… much. You will, however, get splashed at tinyurl.com/sodarocket.
Weird Wide Web: Ever been in an unfamiliar place with your laptop and had an urge to check out the latest celebrity sex tape scandal on TMZ? Luckily you can usually rely on your good friend Linksys, who seems to always be there when you need him. But what if Mr. Linksys wanted to have a little fun with you as you explore Martin Mull Exposed? What if he turned the Web upside down, or made it blurry, or redirected every Web site to cats asking if they can haz cheeseburger? Well one sadistic guy, tired of his neighbour stealing his Wi-Fi, did exactly that. And you can too at ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-
ternet.html.
