| Fog Machine Experiment | | Mar 6, 2007 | | | Glycol is an active ingredient in both anti-freeze and fog fluid for fog machines. Liquid glycols have low boiling points and very high freezing points, making them ideal ingredients for anti-freeze and fog fluid. As an experiment, I tried to see if glycol vapor would also freeze. I stretched a balloon over the opening of a fog machine. I ran the machine so that the balloon filled with fog. I pulled it off, tied it up, and placed it in the freezer. The fog-filled balloon didn't freeze. Interesting. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 10:25 AM | |
| Wholesale Clipboard Parts | | Mar 2, 2007 | | | I've got a guy who can get me clipboard parts at a really good rate. These things are really cheap. The catch: everything comes unassembled. He keeps telling me that it's not difficult to put them together, and that everyone's buying clipboards these days. It feels like a hard sell, and I don't really have the time to start another business, but I'll be honest. I'm tempted. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 9:34 AM | |
| Cream Cheese as Aftershave | | Feb 27, 2007 | | I know this seems a little out there, but trust me. Aftershave often contains alcohol and moisturizers, but I've found that the ratios are off, and my skin is left dry and irritated. Cream cheese has amino acids that strengthens keratin levels and keeps skin elastic, and the cream serves as an excellent moisturizer. I haven't bought aftershave in years. I've found that if I put cream cheese on my face after shaving, my skin is a lot smoother, and I don't get razor burn.
Any thick dairy product with a high cream concentration will work, but I've found that cream cheese has the best consistency for this. I usually let the cream cheese sit for a good five to ten minutes before washing it off with warm water.
There seems to be a lot of crossover with food and hygiene products anyway so I don't feel too silly putting cream cheese on my face. It's just like cucumbers on the eyes, oatmeal masks, and fruit extract shampoo. That kind of thing. Strange but true. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 6:27 AM | |
| Protect Yourself: Text and IM in Morse Code | | Feb 23, 2007 | | | FYI: Under the new Homeland Security Act, the NSA is fully entitled to monitor and track threads of SMS text messages and instant messages sent between cell phones and other electronic devices. The phone companies and service providers are in full cooperation with the U.S. government and will hand over all your records and information. If you don't want the government looking into your private matters, text and IM in Morse Code. Morse Code is so antiquated that their software doesn't recognize it. In other words, the NSA's programs can't understand that more than one character can collectively represent a single character. The records will appear as fragmented nonsense. Don't relinquish your right to privacy. Text and IM in Morse Code. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 1:26 PM | |
| Aerosol Vehicle | | Feb 22, 2007 | | With all the problems in the Middle East, wouldn't it be great if we could cut down on our crude oil usage?

| LED Glasses | | Feb 20, 2007 | | | I was at the glasses store replacing my scratched lenses, and I saw a pair of plastic frames that had LEDs along the sides. I talked to the store manager about them, and he told me that you can hook them up to your PC via USB and program flashing patterns and colors. He said he just got them for his cousin, but when I asked how old his cousin is, he said he had to go answer a phone call. Does anyone have these glasses? I want to know if they are something only children should wear. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 11:26 AM | |
| RUINED EYEGLASSES | | Feb 15, 2007 | | | DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. Someone named Ian Settersmith is advising people to clean their eyeglasses with steel wool. I tried this, and it COMPLETELY RUINED MY GLASSES. He claimed that the steel wool will buff out any minor scratches, and that your glasses will be as sharp and clear as the day you bought them. WRONG. My glasses have terrible scratches, and now I have to get the lenses replaced. THANKS A LOT, IAN. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 2:57 PM | |
| HUMAN BLOOD: GOOD FOR PLANTS? | | Feb 11, 2007 | | | My sister just told me that she gives her plants a drop of blood (hers or her husband's) everyday. She said she read somewhere that human blood is good for plants, and that it keeps them healthy. I can't find any articles about this, but I'm going to try it for a few weeks. I'll let you know what happens. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 7:12 AM | |
| LOCK-PICKING CAMP CANCELLED | | Feb 7, 2007 | | | The guy who runs the camp got arrested so I guess that's it. I can't go. I'm trying to find another camp to attend, but I'm not having much luck. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 8:47 PM | |
| LOCK-PICKING CAMP | | Feb 6, 2007 | | | I'm leaving for a couple weeks to go to lock-picking camp. I won't be able to post during that time. Sorry. | | | POSTED BY GARY CASTLE AT 12:04 AM | |
