As the last person on Earth without an Amazon Prime account, I find FillerSeek to be a handy tool. You get free shipping at Amazon when you spend $25. Normally I just bundle my purchases, but barring that FillerSeek makes it easy to find something in a category I’m interested in that is around the price I need to hit the $25 mark. I have to assume they pay their bills by getting some sort of Amazon Affiliate cut, but that’s cool with me because the service does what I need it to do!

Normally I’d just pull out my cabling kit and repair a broken cord, but when your kit isn’t handy but the cord is lose thanks to a busted tab, you gotta do what you gotta do. This Instructable saved the day for me last week and I thought I’d share. It’s not pretty, but it works!

This is more of a fun start-a-conversation-with-your-fellow-geeks kind of thing than a serious thing, but I had to pass it along. A friend of mine printed these stickers the other day and passed them around the IT department. In a real emergency you’d better hope you’ve got really good decryption or a pack of thermite on hand, but when you’re in a bind a power drill just might have to do!
