Joe the Plumber Moves to a Higher Tax Bracket Doing Ads for DTV Converters [Badvertising] (13)
on
Gizmodo (246) permalink
Hey America! Remember Sam Joe the Unlicensed Plumber, the bald idiot that the McCain campaign ineffectively used as a prop during the waning days of the election? Sure you do. Well, now he's milking his unearned public exposure by schilling for some company selling DTV converter boxes to the elderly and uninformed. It's both sad and funny at the same time, like a dog falling down the stairs. [Gawker]Shared by Annette Shacklett (0) arturopelayo (2) Atuuschaaw (25) Bill Blaney (4) chesty (1) Chris J.

Iron Man Children's Costume Modded to Be Deadly-Cute [Clips] (11)
onOne very loving father spent two months tricking out a standard child's Iron Man costume with real tech for his 5-year-old son—not just a CO2 air compressor to fire missiles or repulsor waves, but a complete BeagleBoard computer running a makeshift JARVUS along with an Arduino board to handle all of the advanced suit functions. Sure, it's just a toy now, but give the father/son team a few years to see what the suit can ...Shared by barrett (1) Danielle (1) Darnell Clayton (10) Drew (0) Dylan (0) Grant (2) Greg Morgan (0) Jaron (0) Mike (7) Richard (12) Shane (1)

Lifehacker (363) permalink
What to do with the lawn sign for that local judge or sheriff you supported in the last election? Some artsy neighbors to the north in Montreal who call themselves Les Fourmis answered that question last month in the wake of their local political season, by creating bird houses from the common corrugated-plastic signage distributed by campaigns and some cable ties — producing a colorful, recycled cottage for high-flying candidates to take office in.
