I absolutely love this site, I started reading it a few months ago on my RSS reader on my phone and get so many good ideas.

http://www.lifehacker.com


Here's a few examples of neat crap they show you.

Homemade and Stylish Tiki Torches.
http://lifehacker.com/5337562/recycle-wine...outdoor-torches

Full DIY here... http://www.gerardotandco.com/blog/re...-bottle-torch/


Lots of interesting stuff on tech, computers, software, and home stuff. Don't know how to properly fold a towel? DIY is there. What IM software do the thousands of members recommend the most? Look it up.

Any of you folks use this?

Long been a staple in the geek/tech community they have all sorts of ways to save you money and reuse things. A+ for mentioning them.

Lifehacker is work safe as well but if you have crabby or filtering software it sometimes gets caught up for a Haxorz! site.


Another great site is consumerist.com
Has the same layout ( i think ran by the same company or at least use the same software).

That's a damned good idea, but I think too heavy for this. THOUGH, I could use them for stand alone torches...

Only thing about those Costco vodka bottles is the labels are painted on and you can't get it off with anything.

ANYTHING.

LOL

Thanks for the other sites guys, I'll check em out.
