Apple Floppy Drive Amp Mod is Retrofabulous

Check out this fantastic DIY project, which involves an Apple PC 5.2 Floppy Drive being modded into a fully functioning amp. I think you will agree; it looks quite amazing. The amp has four speaker terminals, face-mounted volume control, an RCA stereo jack and styling that makes us drool all over our now weakened knees. If you're willing to make the $5.99 investment for the floppy drive, give this awesome project a shot. If we weren't so lazy/cursed with abysmal soldering skills, we certainly would. [Instructables]

'The Floppy' Indoor Golf Balls

The name of this product sounds like the e-mails the usually fill up my spam folder, but The Floppy is actually an indoor-use golf ball. It is made out of a soft core and woven outer shell, but still feels like a real golf ball so that short game can still be practiced indoors—no chance in hell I'll be hitting the links with the downpour of rain that is sweeping the nation. $10 for a pack of three or $35 for a dozen. –Travis Hudson More »
