Here’s something that I’ve never thought of — waterproofing old bed sheets to create waterproof tarps. You might wonder if it’s worth the effort, but the process basically involves soaking the sheets in naphtha and silicone chalking and then hanging them out to dry. The real eye-opener in this video comes at the end when Ben shows you how to make an ancient button out of a pebble. No, really. from Adafruit Industries – Makers,...

Everyone who hasn’t seen Akira would, of course, be rightfully annoyed. Akira was the crossover hit that brought the world...
