Disposable Camera Belt Perfect for Chris Hanson Wannabes

One of the quirkier DIY projects we’ve seen, the disposable camera belt is not a disposable belt for your camera, which is what I initially thought. No, it’s a disposable camera strapped to a belt.

Aluminum Foil Stops iPhone Car Tape Adapter Buzz

When I tested Monster’s “iPhone compatible” tape adapter, I expected the $25 setup to have extra shielding to stop GSM buzz from the cellular radios. It didn’t.
