Letter Re: Useful LifeHacker Articles
Sir:
A recent entry on your blog from 'Tanker' gave the link to a video on
the Lifehacker web site.
The last video he mentioned was made by a poster named KipKay.
I have been a fan of KipKay's for several months. He posts regularly on Metacafe.com.
Incidentally, for each video he is paid and he has made approximately $55,000
from his creations. He has several videos that may be of interest to your
audience. Below are the links and a brief description of each. Please decide
if any of
these merit inclusion on your blog. His official web site is www.KipKay.com.
In this video he shows how
to turn an ordinary AA Maglite into a laser capable of popping a balloon or
lighting a match.
In this video he shows how
to make an underwater camera housing for a fraction of what a commercial model
would cost. He uses an ammo can, a piece of plexiglas,
velcro and marine sealant.
He shows how
to make a USB powered cell phone charger.
He shows how
to take a cheap flashlight and make a super bright Surefire-type flashlight
for ten dollars. He doesn't give any information about battery
life but the
final cost is less than ten dollars.
KipKay shows how
to double gas mileage (at least in his car).
KipKay shows how
to get 6 AAA batteries from one nine volt battery (in case of an emergency).
He has various other videos that are very interesting. KipKay also occasionally
posts at Instructables.com which
is a fascinating web site in its own right. Regards, - Caesar
