Wednesday is here again, and so is our Cool Links Post. So... weather has been discussed many times (including edible objects falling from the sky), so have been fingers, toes, days of the week. That leaves us pretty bare in terms of generally socially- acceptable topics. Hmmm, how about sports! Did you see that latest... sports... thing... and stuff! Pretty amazing, huh? Aaaand at this point I would like to be deemed a socially incapable introvert, retrieve to my hole and shoot some cool links at you. 'Cause, you know, browsing the internets is what I do all day:

Just Try and Make Your Own Gun (Coil Gun) Mehdi of electroboom.com is becoming one of our favourite electronics bloggers (make some room, Dave & Chris!). This time, making a railgun in mostly dangerous ways. |

The Making of the Digi-Comp II, First Edition We're big fans of Evil Mad Scientist. Not only evil and mad, but they're also very crafty... craftsmen. This blog post detailing the work they put into their "Digi-Comp II" is a fine example of the care they put into their projects. Very nice work, indeed! |
And now, gathering the last scraps of my social skills and capabilities, I would like to announce: see you next time. *avoids eye contact, blushes and runs to basement for shelter to watch funny cat videos*
