Good News for the Average College Student

To all the budding alcoholics out there (not me, I swear), here is your chance to (as ThinkGeek so adeptly said) "ferment your own happiness."

I hear there's finally a decent DIY somerandomdrink-to-alcohol kit out there. The DIY Juice to Alcohol kit!

Of course you'll have to certify that you're over 21 to buy this (see, not me), and at $13 a piece, it doesn't seem much of a price improvement over regular store-bought booze, but isn't the idea of making your own alcohol just marvelous? Just think of all the amazing chemistry you're doing all in the comfort of your own humble abode!

Actually, it might be a good way to save, because each kit turns SIX 64oz juice bottle to booze, though it doesn't actually specify how strong the booze is. I was thinking something along the line of beer and Smirnoff ice, perhaps? Of course, even then, 64 oz could feed a round of Kings Cup. Plenty to go around.

Again, I must stress that I doubt I'll be able to try this (legally) for a couple years here, but maybe if they ship to Indonesia? Booze taxes are insane back home.

I hear it goes awesome with cranberry juice, hit ThinkGeek to finally have that cost-saving house party you've always dreamed of throwing.

Admittedly, this isn't my most passionate post ever, but hey, SOMEONE BUILT A FUNCTIONAL TRICORDER. Engineering student Peter Jensen went ahead (and roused up the geek in all of us) and built the first fully functional tricorder.

Now most of us remember the tricorder as that funky thingamabob in Star Trek that we wish our smart phones would resemble in terms of function. Here's a shot of Jensen's finished machine.

I wish I was half that productive when I was an engineering student. Or half that cool, as a matter of fact.

Here's an excerpt of what the magical object can do, via dvice:

The Tricorder Mark 1 is, for all practical purposes, nearly identical to the device that we see in Star Trek, with the possible exception of being unable to reliably distinguish a Klingon from a Romulan. It's a self-contained, portable sensor system that can measure ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure, magnetic fields, surface temperatures, colors, ambient light level, ambient polarization, acceleration, direction, distance (ultrasonically), and of course it has a GPS receiver.

Sounds pretty handy for any scientist/adventurer/researcher on field. Or for Spock.

Lovely news, ladies and gentleman. Live long and prosper.
