Festive Lighted Glass Block Howto
This was posted late last year, but since few people actually saw it at the time, it probably doesn't hurt to repost it. If you've got a drill, some mini lights and a glass block lying around then free up about 4 minutes and you can make this happen.
Large Retro Digital Wooden Box Clocks
Anyone looking for appropriate nick nacks, bric-a-bracs, chachkas or whatnot to compliment their throwback Atari or Colecovision ought to check out this chunky wooden clock from furnicreations.com. The clock captures quite the retro look, and would fit right in with basement wood panelling and A-Team lunch boxes. Of course, if your house isn't going for that old school look but rather has never quite left old school, then it would work just as well. The site is in flash so there's no direct link, but just click on 'store' to browse their unique, if small, product line.

Concrete Floor Staining HowTo
CathyMoore.com shows you how to stain concrete on the cheap. After some initial testing, trial and error, her floor seems to turn out very warm and inviting (and professional).

This informative site, Decorative Concrete, says that the age of the concrete is not an issue, but the concrete's condition is. They also go on to caution:

Protect vegetation and other concrete surfaces. Don't inhale the fumes from the concentrate or your mixed solutions.

Kodak Now Offering Life Poster Service
Earlier this year, Mike Matas posted a howto on making a life poster. It was a great idea that caught on in a hurry. What was somewhat surprising was that the big online photo shops didn't latch on to the trend and offer an easy web app to capitalize on the poster's popularity. Well, Kodak now offers a product for making life posters (Kodak calls them collages) with their online photo printing service. The app allows you to adjust the whitespace between pictures as well as having a random tilt widget. For people who don't have the software or patience to do it themselves, this is a decent alternative.
