BEEHIVE!!

Having your own beehive, that'd be cool, right? right?! 

You'd be able to make your own honey!

Also, if you eat locally produced honey you dont get hayfever. apparently.

Something to do with building resistance to pollen.. yep.'sright.

I've had a coulple of days where ive already started to sneeze this year, so no way this will be ready in time to stop the two month bararge of plant jizz I normally have to endure.

MapBag

MapBag, a LilyPad Arduino-based GPS vibration pointer. Small phone vibration motors built into the chest strap and back always point the way for north. Compass without the hassle.

North Paw

"North Paw  is an anklet that tells the wearer which way is North. The anklet holds eight cellphone vibrator motors around your ankle. A control unit senses magnetic north and turns on and off the motors. At any given time only one motor is on and this motor is the closest to North. The skin senses the vibration, and the wearer’s brain learns to associate the vibration with direction, giving the wearer an intuitive sense of which way is North. Most people “get it” mere seconds after putting it on, and can then reliably point north when asked."

So slow that i started tinkering with windows script files
Managed to automate logging in to programs that ask for a password at start up. It does mean the pw is kept in the script, but saves a whole 3 seconds! 

<package>
<job id="vbs">
<script language="VBScript">
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run """C:/""", 3 *** change C:/ to directory of program***
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.AppActivate "" ***name of prompt window ***
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" *** tabs to the password field - login ID stored***
WshShell.SendKeys "PW" ***change PW to your password ***
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys "~"
WScript.Sleep 100
</script>
</job>

3 seconds, 5 times a day, 20 times a month does not add up to the time it took to work out how to do it...
