DIY Bedbug Detector

Time Magazine has an article about how to build your own bedbug detector/catcher.

I love to celebrate anything MacGyver, except MacGruber- i hate that guy, and this deserves a MacGyver stamp of approval.

Worth checking out, especially if you are going to be staying in a NY hotel anytime soon

Top 10 Ways Tonight’s Lost is like losing your virginity

Tonight marked the beginning of the end. It took us a long time to get here. We reached the point of no return. The excitement was all anyone was talking about. Could it live up to the hype? Of course, I am referring to Lost. After watching, I think I liked it. But I won’t really know until I do it again. That got me thinking … what analogy is out there, what obvious analogy is out there, what could it be? Oh yeah, here it is:

The top ten reasons watching LOST Season 6, Episode 1 is like losing your virginity. It’s late and if the folks from lost can go back in time, so can I. And right now, my sense of humor is somewhere in my teens.

On to the list:

  1. It hurts before it is enjoyable

  2. You trust those who claim to be experts, blindly

  3. It leaves you with more questions than answers

  4. It’s better with someone else

  5. You know it’s probably not a great experience, but it doesn’t stop you trying again

  6. They both make you sweaty and nervous

  7. At one time one or another it’s all you think about

  8. Sometimes the internet can help ease the pain

  9. It’s usually the blue-eyed ones that get you in trouble

And the number one reason…

  1. You don’t want anyone to walk in or talk unexpectedly. Particularly your mother.

However, the good news is, I hope, once you’ve got it figured out, all is right in the world. And if history has taught us anything, the more you do it, the more fun it gets. Until next week.
