  <title>Super Cool Automated Computer Controlled Bar</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Combine thirst, geekyness, programming, a monitor, pumps and booze and what do you get?  An automated bar, of course.  Make your own and impress the friends that are impressed by geeky things with the coolness that is keypad driven drink mixing.  The author, a college student, surprisingly enough,  claims to have spent about $400 on this summer project before losing track.  One screen shot shows that the bar is PIN protected, which is probably a good idea, given that he's moving it into his dorm.

  <title>Protect Yourself with this Bedside Table</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Designer James McAdam went to work to unclutter bedrooms, and this combination night table / stick + shield kit is the fruit of his labour.  If you're ever being robbed, you would not have to scramble in a panic to find your shield as you would know exactly where it was - right beside you, doubling as a night stand! Simply disassemble and prepare for battle!  The shield is very nice touch, as you really don't see a lot of shields in the area of  personal self defence anymore - good work James McAdam!]]></description>
