  • "Years back I modified my can by screwing  a block of wood inside the lid so it wouldn’t blow open. It worked great until the garbage company took my can away one day. The biggest complaint I have is with the hollow wheels that amplify everything while rolling out to the street. I’ve got a neighbor with an exposed aggregate/pebbled surface driveway and you can hear the bins rolling to the curb from a block away!"

  • "Oh great another huge bro truck... It does look cool though, but some nod to our current environmental situation would be nice, but  wouldn't sell as many.  Toyota missed the mark years ago with the FJ Cruiser, I think the new Bronco is a lot better. It maintains the original DNA a bit better than many other companies' sad attempts at revitalizing an icon."

This was for a really sculptural element."

  • "It's nice to see some portable LED strip lighting ideas getting developed.  I've been messing around with cheap 5v USB LED strip lighting and battery packs for awhile now. Most is plug and play and super simple. Check out the offerings on Amazon. 1 meter of USB LED tape in some flexible tubing with a thick gauge flexible wire inside opens up a world of DIY task lighting..."
