I’m sitting on a gold mine…
Since 1982 pennies have been made of 97% zinc. But before 1982 they were
95% copper.
By my calculations 154 pennies contain about a pound of copper. Recently
copper was at about $1.54 per pound. It - along with silver and gold and
most other metals - has been trending up for the last two years or so, and
is likely to continue to do so.
Save your (pre-1982) pennies. They're worth more than a penny. Last time
this happened was 1964 when dimes and quarters contained more than $.10
and $.25 worth of silver.

Finally an awsome Dragon Tattoo
I think I've finally seen a Dragon Tattoo that speaks to me as a basis for something I want to get.
Bridging two Wireless Routers
Got this post of our internal mailing lists... good information on connecting two wireless routers together to get networking to a part of your house you currently don't have any wiring for... or into a neighbors house.
I have my setup like this:
cable mode <-ethernet-> Router 1<--wireless--> Router 2
Router 1 connected to my VOIP phone adapter and my Home PC.
Router 2 connected to my Linux box (mostly used for my MythTV).
Router 1 and Router 2 talk to each other wirelessly (they both acts as wireless bridge).
Both also act as Access Point but only Router 1 acts as gateway and DHCP server. So anything connected to Router 2 still gets IP from Router 1.
If you have linksys WRT54G or Belkin F5D7230-4 you can do this setup but I'm not sure if you can do with other brand routers.
