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.

Not me personallybut my friends dad is an plumber, and one day they were driving along happily in their old van, when they heard a *twang* and the car started to slow down. Upon closer inspection it turned out the throttle cable had managed to snap or something, and instead of getting it sorted properly, as it was due an MOT the next month, they decided to bodge it..
by routing it out through the side of the van, up and through the window to a lever just by the steering wheel.. quite an interesting way of driving im sure. Needless to say they scrapped it after it for some reason failed the MOT
Sorry its not very techy, but a good hack none the less
