When the term DIY (do it yourself) comes into question, many of us have different associations with it. Some people are avid fans of it and even like to repurpose old items with creative twists, while for some people... the term quite literally means a disaster in every way possible.
People with rare Furbys may be in luck.
Palegg has arrived home! He is extremely cute and well made and im so happy I got him! He was created by the lovely @eltystuffs

La célèbre peluche robotique est parfois customisée par ses fans qui n'hésite par à en faire de très longs Furby, des versions rallongées.

I make custom long furbies! All of them are hand made and are up to you! I make 1998 long furbies as well as 2012 long furbies! Just let me know the color of the for you want and the color/design of the stomach(if you want one) I also do electronics modifications such as putting a dampener in the speaker of the Furby to make it more quiet or muting it entirely. I’ve also done things like adding internal lights and adding a power switch to conserve battery. I’ve also made a long Furbies with multiple limbs/arms so just ask and I’ll see what I can do!
Favorite Oi, meninas, tudo bem? Hoje vou falar de uma novidade super tecnológica! Eu já conhecia superficialmente os bichinhos Furby, mas só entrei neste universo agora que meu filho ganhou este brinquedo! Não tinha familiaridade nenhuma e confesso que me encantei! Ele ganhou o Furby Boom, que é o último lançamento, mais moderno, […]

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11: man’s first trip to the moon. This week, we celebrate the event with an Apollo 11 edition of Science Friday! Relive the mission in real time and celebrate with Star Trek. Go to the moon, Mars, and beyond with Steve Squyres. Join a team of rogue NASA engineers in designing a better rocket for manned space flight. All this an more plus our gadget of the week: EATR. Celebrate Apollo 11’s 40th Anniversary with Trek and More Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the launch of man’s first mission to the moon, Apollo 11. And, even as we speak, the LCROSS/LRO mission is returning to the moon for the first time in four decades. Returning to our nearest planetary neighbor has been touted as a possible stepping stone to Mars and beyond, not to mention the great possibilities for scientific research and expanding our knowledge of the universe. In April, President Obama addressed the National Academy of Sciences, and made these remarks about the Apollo program: The Apollo program itself produced technologies that have improved kidney dialysis and water purification systems; sensors to test for hazardous gasses; energy-saving building materials; and fire-resistant fabrics used by firefighters and soldiers. And, more broadly, the enormous investment of that era – in science and technology, in education and research funding – produced a great outpouring of curiosity and creativity, the benefits of which have been incalculable. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the Kennedy Center Concert Hall is hosting a free concert, Salute to Apollo: The Kennedy Legacy, which includes various themes from Star Trek and other sci-fi shows. Plenty of others are celebrating including one website called wechoosethemoon.org, a real-time interactive recreation of the events of Apollo 11 as they happened 40 years ago. Look through all kinds of things like images and video from the mission, an interactive mission tracker, and a feed of "live" transmissions from the spacecraft. Everything displayed is to the minute as it was 40 years ago. Celebrate Apollo 11’s 40th anniversary Steve Squyres: Mars Rover Guy Wants Humans on Moon, Mars Forty years after the first manned moon landing on SPACE.com asked Apollo astronauts and leaders of the space community to ponder the past, present and future. Steve Squyres, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Rover Project and a professor at Cornell University, is an avid fan of human space flight though he works on one of the most successful robotic missions to space, and is optimistic about humanity’s chances of getting back to the moon – and even to Mars – in the coming decades. Here is an excerpt from their interview: SPACE.com: What do think of the direction that space exploration took between Apollo and now? Sqyures: Well, there has been a period that we’ve gone through since Apollo, where we’ve focused on doing things in low-Earth orbit. I think that makes a certain amount of sense, because the next leap beyond going to the moon is a very big one. I am very excited at the prospect of astronauts not just going back to the moon, but in the near future I hope, going on to explore near-Earth asteroids, going on to explore Mars and so forth. And so what I’m looking to is the future and hopefully, I want to see during my lifetime, astronauts not just back at the moon, but at asteroids. I’m hoping to see that. Read the full article at SPACE.com. Steve Squyres wants YOU for human space exploration! Rogue NASA Engineers Design a Better Rocket It’s no secret that there is a new initiative to get humans back on the moon and soon. A group of rogue NASA engineers have anonymously started a project of their own to develop the new launch vehicle for getting people into space after the retirement of the space shuttle in 2010. The DIRECT launcher system would replace the separate Ares-I Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) and Ares-V Cargo Launch Vehicle (CaLV) with one single "Jupiter" launcher, capable of performing both roles. This change to NASA’s architecture completely removes the costs & risks associated with developing and operating a second launcher system, saving NASA $19 Billion in development costs, and a further $16 Billion in operational costs over the next 20 years. The group’s website cites the following as advantages to their system: Shorter "gap" after the Shuttle retires (3 years vs. 5) Earlier return to the Moon (2017 vs. 2019) Delete all risks associated with a second new launch vehicle Delete all costs associated with a second new launch vehicle Optimum use of the existing NASA & contractor experience Enable multiple upgrade paths Greater range of safety alternatives for Crews The only problem with DIRECT is that NASA doesn’t seem to be buying into the idea. Why not? Well, it is hard to say at this point, but there are no current plans to use this system.

Samples have been collected of the gunk, which was first noticed by hunters from Wainwright. The Anchorage Daily News reports the thick and dark substance has appeared in the Chukchi Sea between Wainwright and Barrow.The U.S. Coast Guard says the substance is not an oil product. I think it’s aliens, personally. Gadget of the Week: EATR the Not-So-Flesh-eating Robot The Pentagon has contracted a Maryland company to develop a robot that powers itself with organic material. Intended to be deployed in war zones, the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) would use that biomass to drive a steam engine. Moving through the battlefield, the hungry ‘bot would gobble up "whatever organic material it can find," says one report. That includes grass, wood, old furniture — but not "dead bodies" as being reported by FoxNews.com, FastCompany.com, and CNET News. Robot...
This gorgeous Furby looks like new! He works and the beak is in great condition but the battery compartment has been glued because it broke, it's delicate but he works! Don't tighten the screw too much, just the neccessary Check carefully the images because they are part of the description. He speaks spanish SHIPPING: It usually takes 7-10 days to arrive inside Europe and 10-20 outside Europe (customs may delay it). FAQ's: -My order hasn't arrived: First check your tracking number, if there aren't updates ask in your local post office, maybe you wasn't home the day of delivery and it can be sent back! -I ordered a gift for another person: This kind of purchases are usually sent back to me because no one is waiting for the package so they don't accept it or don't pay the customs taxes so, if you want to make a gift please put your own address or tell the other person about this. -My order was sent back: If you are not home the day of delivery and don't go to the post office to ask for the package it can be sent back. In that case, once in my hands, I would offer you to send it again (you would pay again shipping costs) or I would offer to refund you the item cost (you would lose what you paid for shipping, I don't refund that because that money has already been used and lost) NO WARRANTY: I test every Furby before sending it and make a video of it working (except unopened Furbys), if the ad says it works but you receive it not working put alkaline brand new batteries on him and hit him HARD and non stop for a minute in the back and sides. That should help him turn on but if still doesn't work then try to hard reset him by pressing his tongue and reset button while he is facing downwards. Also make sure to use brand new batteries and check that they are correctly placed. I'm sorry to not be able to offer warranty in old second hand toys, but you can always ask me for another video of him working and I will gladly film one for you :) Disclaimer for used and vintage things: all those items are second hand and so they can be dirty, slightly damaged, not working like new... If you need more photos in detail or a video please let me know and I will send them to you.
