MIA
As I write this, Spinneyhead cannot be accessed. I guess the server has gone down. I'll try to fix the problem tomorrow, but, whether I can or can't, I'm going to carry on posting stuff.Blogging was going to be sparse for the next few days anyway, because we move to a new casa Spinneyhead tomorrow and there will be no broadband for I don't know how long after that.

mother nature, you fickle bitch
This morning it was so warm i left the house without a coat. Now it's almost time to leave the office it's pissing down.
I probably should have had one of those 'oh, wait, i live in manchester' moments and realised this would happen.

Scavenger Hunt Sex Toy
One student's account of building a sex toy that fulfills several of Spinneyhead's criteria.I shall now detail how I constructed this item. The first order of business, right after the conga line, was acquiring a vibrator to modify. We went to Condom Kingdom in Melbourne Central at about 4pm. We had already been past there during the conga line, and were too soft to go to a proper, poorly-lit, sex shop. We bought a black battery operated vibrator for about $25. Then for about an hour we played with the vibrator, sneaking up on people, humping their heads and cock slapping them.
When we got tired of that, I dropped by home to see what parts I had lying around that I could make use of. I grabbed a cordless drill motor/gearbox, some aluminium tubing/sheet/rod, nuts and bolts, transistors, resistors, diodes, an old parallel port cable and a protoboard. I also grabbed my notebook computer, an IBM PIII 700, running Slackware Linux 10.1. I determined that the only other parts I would need to buy would be three relays, two 3 amp for two vibrate speeds, and one 5 amp for 'thrust'.

End of the Century
You could make a comparison between the US now and the British Empire at the turn of the last century. Indeed, the article looks a little like the basic premise I had for Sounds of Soldiers, my occasionally added to sci-fi/technothriller satire.via BlogLeft
