DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Uni Halls Tin FoilWhile in Uni in Southampton, we used to hang foil over the PIR that controlled the heating (it switched off if there was no movement, as it assumed you were out of the room. Trouble is it also switched the heating off if you sat reasonable still, like when watching TV)
The foil would jangle in the draughts and reflect around, or that was the theory. I was never convinced.
