My understanding is that the silicon is non toxic once it cures. Too much crap being released while it cures though. (this coming form someone with a fish tank that has to play with silicone)

I LOVE the moron who built the vodka filter. Look at the images and all the silicone and other sealant everywhere. He says the silicone says non-toxic. It IS toxic. Non-toxic for external use….add pressure and alcohol and ingest it and you are going to die! Slowly. I work in the food industry (as a chemist…not a fry jocky)…FOOD GRADE SILICONE.

Try adding a blob of that silicone to your fish tank. The fish will die! Use food grade silicone and they will not.

Read all about his experiment quickly, because he won;t be around to pay his hosting fees.

I will mention the fact that it blew up once was cool.

one more thing about this azureus anonymous-link. This guy moderates the comments, his CMS says 15 comments while there are only 12 showing… one of the moderated comments there is mine and it was hardly a flame (it’s more or less the same I put here as comment #5) ;-) So, he censors commenters he doesn’t like and tries to kill an anonymity-network for some fame… nice going… geez…

(btw, check his about… for instance ‘Collectively from all the forums I post on, I have a post count of over 3,000.’ uh? omg)

It makes more sense just to use the Safepeer IPFilters.

I remember doing something like that Altoids survival kit back when I was in Boy Scouts, except I remember using metal coffee and Band-Aid tins. That Altoids one looks a lot sweeter though and none of my survival kits had a built in hack saw.

Could someone put together a nice divx/xvid/etc video to ipod video format guide for windows? I’m quite clueless as to what programs to use and what encoding parameters the ipod will play back.

I’m not even an iPodder, but that foldy was great! Very clever!
Put one on every desk at work! hehehe

I carry a mobile tool assortment as well for impromptu adventures, but the one listed gave me some more ideas, so that’s great.
(Having a lockpick set on you can lead to some pointed questions from law enforcement nowadays however, which is an adventure I can do without.)

Thanks for the link tired2. Just didn’t think of the 3 color LED because all i have seen is the surface mount versions. I’ll draw up a quick PCB with the tri-color one you gave me a link two, also with a cool way for the connector with a ribbon cable and IDC connector.

remember I do not plan to build one i have just had some spare time and wanted to give some stuff out there for people to think about. and if anybody needs gerber files or an exact bill of material list i will give them out.

i fixed the ipod foldy issue, it should be right now.

it should also print in near exact dimensions, at least it did for me once folded.
thanks for the positive comments!
