BUILD A COMPUTER LAPTOP STAND FROM TOYS

IN THIS bad economy, one thing I've learned to do is to save money any way I can. Since I'm spending so much time on the computer, I constantly find myself with back and shoulder pain from improper posture while typing. Thus I decided to build a laptop stand for common toys like *rector sets or *inkertoys. You can even use 'leggo bricks to build an easel to tilt the laptop towards you. Just build a sturdy diagonal wedge that fits under and around the bottom of your laptop so that it tilts about 12 degrees towards you without wobbling. If you have a high power soldering iron, you can solder clothes hangers together to form the same wedge shape. HINT: some experimentation may be necessary! Good luck!

MARKET MELTDOWN

Warren Buffett said it all yesterday-the market is in shambles.God help us, where is the bottom? The guys at s&p500 said today there is still more downside to come. Somebody call a doctor, the whole country is sick. Where are the choppers, we need to be rescued, I mean like immediately. I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting ready to do my food shopping at the local bread line...what's wrong with everyone? How can we afford to place a machine on mars, when an electrical engineer like me, who graduated in the top of his class of 20000, gets his bread at the local homeless shelter? This all has got to stop now, before the entire nation falls to pieces, or to chaos, whichever comes first. Any suggestions?
