Sarah's On the Prowl: Helpful Web Tutorials
1. CommonCraft - From their "Twitter in Plain English" video to their tutorial on how RSS works, the videos here will help you, or someone you know, better understand some of the web's newer concepts.
2. Demogirl - Author Molly McDonald tests out websites, services, and programs (so you don't have to). Watch her 2-3 minutes screencasts and decide what's worth registering for!
Remix:
Make your own rock t-shirts like Miss Corbin does! This is what you need:
- 100% cotton T-shirt (medium to dark color, pre-washed)
- clear vinyl self-adhesive shelf paper (other good materials include: poster board, magnets, wood blocks)
- spray bottle
- Bleach & H20
- permanent marker
- craft knife
- stacks of newspaper
Then, follow these steps:
1. Create a template with your image or design of choice to print on your shirt.
2. Cut out image with your craft knife and place the image on top of the vinyl shelf paper (or thick material of your choice, see above) and trace it with a permanent marker. This will be your stencil(s).
3. Place the stencil on the shirt in desired location.
4. Insert a thick layer of newspaper inside the t-shirt to make sure the bleach doesn't dye the back of the shirt.
5. Spray your half H20, half bleach concoction from spray bottle directly on the cut-outs on the shirt. Hold down your cut-outs with your gloved hand and watch your shirt change color.
6. Keep spraying the bleach until you reach the desired color, run it under cold water then throw it in the wash. And, voilĂ ! Instant rock threads!
For even more details, and some other cool methods including using a bleach stick, check out the DIY Network
Sarah's trick:
Viewer Jeremy (AKA "JSatt" on our forums) made a kickass Greasemonkey script that integrates Instapaper and Digg.com!
Here's how you get it running:
1. Sign up for an Instapaper account. Free at http://instapaper.com.
2. Install the Greasemonkey script in Firefox
3. Install the Digg Later script
4. Login to digg.com and enjoy your new "Digg Later" options!
The Fringe:
Heather showcases a wacky Baltimore-based electronic musician who goes by the name of Dan Deacon.
Check out his site (which is almost finished) at dandeacon.com
Or, head on over to the ol' YouTube and search for "Crystal Castles" and his other videos there!
Also, Jimmy Joe Roche, director of "Crystal Castles" has more of his work on his site

" Hey Ivan all of this absolutely free senator popSiren is that -- by Netflix and -- UT and godaddy.com. And I and I just recorded and this show is -- section of modern culture. Science and maintenance. It actually works. Not just saying. East and experiment -- he vehemently -- editors -- of our theory and applications at night. I mean. Yeah I know I know it's there are elements as and it's or that any. And that. What an up while also showing you how to un punk rock features. All hail the action down at. The I think personally wanted to start you need. Yeah annual bring your -- big -- OBW. Event where adults. Humiliate themselves."
" Racing at breakneck speed down steep -- on wheels. You know big wheels the past tricks from argues that take after -- style motorcycles. Was held -- Francisco on Easter Sunday. Now I guess that Bay Area artist John room -- had a vision after he stumbled across a broken big wheel on the street. And west Oakland California and diss something when it and that's the wacky sport was born now. The only little is that you know -- are just flat that's that's how big will have always been historic I remember I had one month it was pink rubber wheels. Get traction and therefore they're going to allow faster and more controlled driving. Now is about and it's just it's just not really about meaning themselves -- having fun as you that's that's. That's what you'd like to do it on the slopes now popSiren very on video editor Marie C above an act he noticed here."
" Things. Yeah. You got sent to news back memories together and a signify honestly like he's a nice guy he's good -- what it does didn't it was a silly as an hour speed net -- at all not willing to make the come with somebody enough to do here is to break out the right Latin -- that it according to attack not concept in the marine species have been found as a result 82000 mile expedition. In the Antarctic waters near New Zealand they found jelly fish with tentacles. -- I'll manner and wealthy and African to -- why is start bitch. Why. These are pretty convince marketers as we now -- this. Is big it is -- a little weird Al when I hear about like twelfth and I mean things like the exist within the unknown underneath and you never know when you're playing in the latter what might come up to grab you know isn't quite. Percent of the world's waters some crazy statistic -- you don't blame me during trip abernathy mine yeah yeah I --"
" and your time. All right next step next up at. -- on an animal and it just article manic animals antelopes maybe the next animal most likely to drive on Mars has been -- to love salt licks and according to science daily dot com planet Mars is just covered and that. That wacky and ACL witches. Something chemistry and it. He didn't get -- NASA probe Mars Odyssey discovered the table salt like apartments on the southern part of the fiery planet which sleep scientists -- think that wider dean backed exits near the surface. At one time on Mars -- it also reports that it's finding implies. That Mars once had a major energy source like the sun and that organic matter still be around assault works well preservation and thank god. Could that pretty much have another EM outlook export kid in my backyard just got -- seven."
" Mars he would -- you don't have back here it's true actually. Bad advice and so let me have a backyard and it. Checking out -- kiddies do for McCain in her living room. -- To continue our animal theme today is does -- press reports that prey. Or in this case one. When it Connie and I year and a half of July -- And Buddhist temple in Japan to participate in. I mean and a dot picture is just adorable but I got it -- I think I'd say -- our I think it's just a little bit contrived I guarantee you there somebody I think it'll let retreat at night. He he got an at a bed and now we're all making that effort indictment. Yeah if somebody knows the sky and -- diet and can somehow proof that they're actually crane is now what's funny is gonna fight like -- your comments that many kind of funny and act like more respect for him. In the months have -- in Latin it would be a little like you know. Evening news wires around the world once thought about it where it's. So -- press the that's immoral of the day -- an outlet spread out over our favorite smarty pants doctor Kiki today she's going to explain to us out and d.'s --"
" So my friend found this incredibly awesome -- his flashlight at a flea market in Manhattan a couple of years back. First we thought we just put it on a shelf somewhere look nice on his shelf right. The ball that burned out long ago nevermind finding batteries to power the darn thing. That are the same time super high powered light emitting diets -- LED started becoming way more affordable and -- good news for us how cool would it need to modernize this old light casing with an LED and rechargeable batteries. To understand how and why we put it together the way to we did you need to know a little bit about the science of the LED. Now the light emitting diet. It's made it semi conductive material that only allows current -- in one direction the material is called and defective because its properties fall somewhere in between out of true insulator and can actors. The ability of the semiconductor material in east to produce light totally dependent on the movement of Elektra and I told you on a previous show that impact electrons in atomic orbital determine if -- with the magnetic field. Well electrons around the Adams also determine the color of light that material emitted or absorbed in this case we're talking about -- You can think electron orbital as existing in energy levels low energy electrons awfully much slower than their high energy electron counterpart. The energy levels in which electorate has similar energy exists are called band we'll be hearing that conduction band and -- and bands. There are areas between bands that don't contain any electrons at all and these are called and Gatt. And they the barrier to the movement of electrons between the various energy levels. To create a conductor -- note to different semiconductor materials respectively called. I placed right next to each other that keep tight have been dealt with impurities -- they have room in their lower levels. Where are more electrons to jump and anti have been moved out to put more electrons in higher energy levels of those energy energized electorate want to fall down from a high level to below. At the junction between the the electrons. Load down that energy gradient. -- so well. At the batteries attached to the semiconductor that flow can continue to happen until the battery run out of charged because the batteries -- continue to push the new electrons. Incident and five and pulling it out of the now of the current flows through the Diana frowned and the peace side experience of the drop in voltage this voltage. That's lost -- either giving off its heater light. And in the case -- special semiconductor materials the electron that are X that they pass from high to low energy state give off energy at visible light. And the colors that are -- by LE DAs are directly related to the frequency of the energy released of those electrons move around. It's frequent thing also directly related to the amount of energy that's needed to power the LED. -- red light has a much longer wavelengths then violet light and it requires less energy to produce. For the Apple add in red LTD in the electrons moving down -- gradient released one point nine electron volts in the form of photons with the full amount of energy one point nine electron -- The photons therefore remove at a frequency of four point six times ten to the point will hurt. With a wave length of 650 nanometer. Numbers aside when the photons hitter I they're traveling at the wave link -- visible as as red. These red LED need to be -- left for unbiased but at least one point nine volts to keep the light running. -- need they need three point one Bolton of electrons across that end so you need a bigger battery for at least he's with shorter wavelengths. Now for our flashlight kind of pop down to the neighborhood RadioShack and found the basic parts they -- it was a fun and that if you're gonna do something. It why not go way to -- thanks to the Internet. We were able to find a one watt white -- beyond LED with a formidable tastes of three point fourteen -- We also found a variable input voltage right there. We've put it didn't hear it packed away underneath that all the -- thing right next to a 2000 Millie and our what eleven point one volt rechargeable. Lithium polymer battery pack. What we got a lot of power going that this thing. The eighty -- came attacks to its own heat think but a quick test and when asked that it would need a lot more help to dump all the heat produced by a light. That we salvaged a fan and heat think from an old CPU holiday it housed here and I'd have this area. Been building a flight ladies have gotten even brighter. Of this plant produces about. Fifty though min you can now find LED that give up 200. Talk about being blinded by -- and the and the end stars back to you yeah."
" And everything that. And they think. Well people and it shouldn't instead. He's got another thing iTunes. Manfred Mann now and I look at China. I do feel pretty captivated the key here that explains things Bellic isn't imminent. It's seven point our prime minister and a intimidated at night your brain is still being I don't mean really now I can act. I'm not. Sometimes after she explains like magic and now. Imagine that. That an -- I plan -- it via at. And now want to give a big thanks to our newest. On -- yeah yeah yeah but you're not. As well that Ian and you've -- the -- he got -- set -- large selection is as good quality that he is out on earth and -- Orderly but what we really recommend if you aren't. -- can -- it is mixed up. Just bring you guys. And you got. Yeah it's adagio dot com. Slash -- and spit on my island -- sweet. And there it that's right. But it. That the competition now almost named mind Ferris pax T. I didn't I didn't -- at my -- it's lying in my suite. Senegal there I sometimes. Much. And -- and -- and it's. What is Clinton's -- mine is can't MEL -- men and write books that just thinking that night. It's gonna do -- little -- sweet karma going most kick we just fine and good my. All of tartan gunpowder. I don't what can I. Just I get figure that and I got sweet I think I actually AM and 11 PM -- I expect hurt the patent my picture because that expect it to be the confuse concoction blend. That's not thinking that it's okay you get to. It and seeing your house and the rest that's the popSiren. Key key -- and they -- on what you making their own custom ones you gonna totally Q is your favorite fireman is it. I mean I think it comes to competition and -- it on there it's on kind of people I just everybody's a red -- from. Day to bring. T. And climbed Christian right so. It's got I think treatment that's how we get hasn't he -- to what extent it outweighs."
" Today's -- kind of straight from Jeremy or G -- as he's known on -- army he loves my trick from a few weeks back on seating articles season -- online tool called against paper remember that. But here's my -- taste that is still off them he wrote a grease monkey script that integrate instant paper in to get at that it's so -- OK so here's here's what's going on -- it is the -- never bit never the website -- paper you can watch episodes one and pops out or but it it's really easy. Easy instructions there. You just install the grease monkeys correct it's a Firefox add on so you just need Firefox obviously in -- have to he's grease monkey about the link to this -- has yet. An -- shown -- so don't worry about that now once you've installed it switches and you know that its -- because doctor add ons and exit agrees that is working. Preferences that later on to victory yet yet yet all looks good here. Want to spark and you go over to the front page today. Or the political section has -- and all the sudden you notice anything different over there looking I got a lift Ariane next of the comments in the shares in the -- is called. Read later. And if you click it. X it just seen and these articles you. Read later works just like instant hit a satellite -- any -- in the middle of Reading for later reference the only thing is that if you're dig big reader you -- a lot of the main page news videos images main page what have you an associated extra step of clicking through to each individual story and then having to -- leader again. Really helpful for all you pirated users you know who you are gonna like this -- think he's got let me Mikey did that you are so the man you get a big gold star for me this week virtual. Email me -- suggestive that popSiren revision3.com. Now moving on from grease monkeys that you. That -- one million dollars that you didn't know this next little piece of trivia game ready. Here apps -- now that the earliest songs ever written down was a Syrian."
" movie entitled. Him to clean you shouldn't written and cool and -- form. You know the earliest form of written expression and it'd be about 40000. Years old. You feel smart already done that. You know I just realized something. I've been talking to him much Jessica."
" Joining us today is editor in chief of good magazine exactly -- welcome to popSiren exactly to convene here so let's see you are a founder of good magazine what -- magazines at the scene at the census I want to get the back story how to -- can't -- to --"
" Sure why it was com the group there's bigger befriends Tom went out to Los Angeles accidents that are a film company yet about it. You can you have announced credits of that entertaining entertaining movies about things that. No matter how it's exciting movies that you did it with your friends but sort of got -- a conference that was a little more relevant existing bookmarks. And dom once we started doing it realized hey we could make magazine. People would you know get the international staff members have a."
" Background in and publications in communications it was just have like you're home he's drinking Beers -- let's start a magazine we didn't especially."
" A background -- founders a guy whose family comes from the world magazine about. We have some people we -- but it was Mars you know we knew what we wanted to -- that are here we weren't being served."
" The magazines that are offered some sort maker of -- so so that the timeline is for people who who giving good for -- what are beginning again about."
" Well it's really -- Did a damn about anything and that's sort of what gets us excited is that all of a sudden there are young people who are giving a damn ordinary going to. Environment politics and international issues that are etc. and we feel like its chains and we certainly want to talk to that and Kurds."
" Yeah act as he wanted his giant days. Globally probably where we ran away from the issues because they're coming they're getting to be too big -- now we're like turning and facing and yeah exactly you guys are treating your audiences that there intelligent which is really nice."
" We do want to give people credit for being intelligent you know we think there aren't smart people out there."
" And they're they're really underserved right now -- a lot of sources of information that are sort of the lowest common denominator into the -- it rental as it were the people -- but they're fine and you know that's exciting rank but."
" They aren't there are really getting into the issues and with a satisfying and there are a lot of."
" Magazines and you know media outlets on the other hand that do get into -- well so."
" Which kind of brings you to my next question which is you -- some big issues that had things like you know nuclear war are and globalization and like these things when people hear sometimes disco tune out. I'm wondering how do you who delivered these issues without being overwhelming too heavy. And how'd he do it and be engaging relevant."
" However we you know we never -- You know going to run a forcing anything down on drugs yes that's not I don't want to preacher and -- so lot of it is just again. Presentation you know like please -- want to cover politics we have just the story running merely physical political NASCAR where we talked. Hillary Clinton and now we we -- an image of her and we dressed her up and -- can ask very uniform but instead of life. You know camel cigarettes are Budweiser we had the largest political donors as sponsors on her uniforms there was sort of a fun way to engage in its interest in serious information about the presentation as what sort of -- people --"
" Absolutely and that's also what makes it cool an individual makes it cools it would you do things like that important Eric -- Medical schools got so what is the master plan for good magazine I don't know well we've we've."
" determined that there is an audience here that does care about serious things but also wants so that's good that's satisfying. Com and now we want to sort of grow -- reads them wherever we are so the magazine and news. A good starting players but we're really gonna build out our website in the coming here. Web videos and it's really exciting to -- and also listed and -- you know an event strategy just going to different cities and helping these people you know meet up in the real world so have an opening there."
" Awesome and so last question what is the story selection process like. Had you editor in chief how do you get through other storyteller when it has."
" The the only way we've been able to have any success has just died doing stories that we want to read ourselves so you know -- there's ways. Put it out there to anyone in the company and and many people they now they're like okay now we're doing an issue about. Finally what later ideas what's exciting to you and then it sort of filters back to and we kind of process certain. The -- that you're betting on your sensibilities it's exactly Thailand and what are some your favorite stories that have come through so far. Com we'll a lot of my favorite stories are the ones were reduced sort of but the interest in presenters and quests we've we've had a media issue a little while ago it and I'm bound into that issue we have them. Pull out media mogul trading cards so we don't like soccer so the okay I'm in the united them at your program and I that's a sort of one way to present them."
" I love it I love and honestly yes thank you for -- view it's all gig -- whether it's an active. Thanks Jess now for something in the --"
" I did love love this but the morning news dot org figured despite its -- it diverts literary and it got to read -- equal -- at this article. Despite challenges are you karaoke enthusiasts I want you don't wearing arm. That's great ready yet to get the rock song I recently -- and read it rains it alphabetical order class no word is listed more than one. It seems sort of easier well we created one for you so let's see how it'll first person that -- right in -- of gags. Next week."
" I Netflix -- of the week. Which is act I think. That's that. -- It means I'm not the least likely -- ever but still it. In the three point blank because yeah. Ever foresee anything because. Themselves and it just. Got better dead whereas. Us. I don't agree flop -- junkies. -- look at where I. Can't Becky exactly. And forums. The price tag and thanks to Netflix watch he's great he sacked -- morning and night. So tired of your girl. -- model maker would be caught dead lacking is found don't rent Netflix has been. And other titles including -- picture. Instantly. -- Netflix com slash siren. Studies on the clock is."
" Well why doppler might have been when my favorite I hate it I think he's gonna do and doing it. Yeah online outlet might have been one of my favorite yeah -- I now in -- he's could have stickers -- an era picture. But I just like. Atlanta are now -- it's tapper old jet's -- to get your hands there."
" Yeah segment that we call the battery -- were we agreed that new life and old where's Ari -- in this case you can breathe new life continue where's and I want to show you and how to make punk rock teachers 'cause we can -- and rocking again. Just feels so -- please check out that it's. Fahrenheit it is if you want to make sure that you got first up a teacher okay. Add an extra -- in the sharks you know and pulled one of the -- turn it inside out and work from Mary Alice ready to. Com at -- and it just make sure they start because again we're using bleach responsibly with -- here so you want to make sure you know can't leaked. White and it come out to just make -- got -- yeah maybe -- exactly -- want to have sprayed a thank you gonna fill a spray bottle with one part water one parts each. Like that's. Easy -- but have -- exactly luckily head at some point you decide what you want on your teacher what kind especially right. So of course we -- handy dandy popSiren you know sort of logo wish of course activities. Here bomb. Well -- onion is not custom made it's pencils let me use it as an art store and exactly sort of -- exactly -- use your own creativity and this is much as you want like we did here or you can just go pretty stock market -- you know you just get blocks. And you put -- on your shirt. And then check it out aren't gonna want to do is. Spray. These -- space there's a service like that and it's not working area. But eventually at least now. Honestly -- will it's very clear that it's very clean and totally had actually right now -- you each around it's you get that out. I mean I just look at the wake us even -- at paris' earns. Or paintbrush whatever you accurate and anyone that's in the shape that you can tell you exactly exactly still and then what you gonna want to do is over time you're gonna start to see you know an answer to fade up. I say it brightens. Ultimately we'll start bleaching can -- exactly ten minutes and you're gonna want to watch you know because as soon as it is at your brightness capacity and optimum. Figure -- take. Pick up on things. I mean it's -- really teach you how clean you take it and yet throw it away in the washer and -- way he just hiding in Britain that. Why are sick and and -- you come out with something that collects light. --"
" It. I'm -- you know accept it's it's. I'm looking at these yeah play and how Adam Blake lately and yeah that's just me but -- bet that and it's cool because it's it's kind of."
" Blurry but it's cooler and yet I like not -- accurate it like perfect I can't possibly -- for a lot of money and uneasiness and then make gun and Mike's our patents and again. Whom I like it like it's a visit this is the little punk rock T -- unless that first literally no money and not a lot of times dig it step by step instructions on how to make your own upon -- revision3.com. Slash popSiren. And we're all about learning new stuff here on popSiren. So recently I went in search of amazing tutorials for this edition. -- Start on the ground is that he but I -- daddy dot com tell."
" World class goes seemed fast and easy -- set builders and lots more dot com names -- 11990. -- video. And does it make an impact on line had good data dot com plus Anderson Simon let me check out -- additional ten. Higher -- yeah."
" Just yesterday co -- to speed and hours and haven't some Beers mention something and -- on twitter that it's funny at which point that something like. It is twitter that. -- You hand out words in you know it's like this case means. Yes thank you I'm planet and -- aren't you got so that everybody. Either in these people that point or knows somebody in fact it's at least -- month. RSS feeds some absolutely and her family member in Mildred what are and it's impossible and -- them because I don't work. But I have a really hard time and then in. Wit it's and I can understand it explained in plain English exactly in English very good keywords that the patents. I love the folks over at a place called common crap dot com bill really is specifically. -- To help people stands up a web series called plain English. I like is -- expect at twitter and winning the fact that -- that yes."
" It's what are you doing. It's one of the first questions we often ask friends and family. Even if the answer is just mowing the lawn or cooking dinner. It's it's just into us it makes us feel connected and a part of each other's lives. Unfortunately. Most of our day to day lives are hidden from people that care. Of course we have email and blogs and phones to keep -- connected but you wouldn't send an email to a friend -- having coffee. Your friend doesn't need to know that but what about people that want to know about the little things that happen in your life. Real life happens between blog posts and emails. And now there's a way to share it's possible to share short bite sized updates about your life and follow the updates that people that matter to you via the wet. Here's how it works."
" I eat. It now I mean it's so good did to tie the visual way that it's special and and getting people. You know it's not condescending right but it's really like elementary elements and it's sort of like hey if you get -- website -- looking at and just get in Streisand's march tornadoes we'll look at it differently -- I mean I used but I understand better I -- it sounds like. Healthy arteries and -- humanize the whole process that people actually care now I mention RSS kind of craft not only has -- fingers but how are -- plain English which is super -- get a few more to do I think this -- really -- really nice way to get a little buzz has come out and is now and let people on you know the -- some are assassin on photos -- to suspect that another site that I really like that spells out how new sites and services -- called. Demo girl -- thanks for your mind Donald. -- on there -- online toys services when she gets a really firm grasp on how something new works to record the very simple screen -- Watch the features. Does that she likes and doesn't like that like to -- fine and they're really simple I mean it's just it's just horrible it's just going to thing that you don't have to spend I think minutes watching it and like let's just say that you can go inside of ministers don't do it you know before you kind of get an idea of what's going on what's nice I heard that just -- Objectives does -- these companies. Sound it a little bit different than a company give me this very behind -- screen cast of clinics and the Google ones they've done really well but -- gone forever they say that every single feature. And you know something -- involved give -- a quick end you know don't sugarcoat it right. Anyway if you look explain things like twitter our staff blogging. -- an alliance great -- common craft products with twitter but that's it you're looking at discovering new Internet service -- herself. -- This."
" It used now there are at this so apartment seeing dare rain trapeze stunts. Target shooting and zombie apocalypse is from Heather. And you must be wondering. What next actually she's managed to open it again. Whatever wacky -- an -- this edition of the friends."
" All right thank you asked for -- inserts today I introducing new. This back stick that crafty electronic pop musician performer. Dan Bolton who hails from Baltimore Maryland I know your thinking. Freaking weirdo. But trust me you'll soon be hypnotized. The graduate degree in this election. Mastermind of shriek -- cerebral catchy pop melodies. Like this one. -- spread of electronic. Including hand me. Rely regulators. Over opening rolling. Maybe the sun in my -- this guy is clever and crappy. Classified under the interact on that I like to call it that rock band you still crazy."
" And again they can begin I don't like his name. Yes there's a there's a fine line between -- ingenious and I'm not shared. Mean let's I didn't mean yeah. Let's do lunch. You that's cryptic but in any."
" Scatter and Heather actually she wanted to subsided she really wants you to put -- on her radar and certain -- and seeing how do you think it right now I can't -- it's not so when he. Across one that's where the email -- popSiren haven't been really -- like this segment up already acting we've got an email to read these and digests. -- PopSiren upset three -- an expression of the week featured Ivo phobia the fear pound sounds great it's a -- you're paying attention you -- it must be awkward for some in the back and try researching it. Or expense of others very trip. Had ever heard."
" Of hip -- monsters that quit it dad Leo Bobby don't lot of good and it it's the fear. Of long words imagine trying to remember that one you're suffering from it. College perfect execution. You know I was actually really nervous as really cares about -- every action there. -- show off or yeah I comment thank you weren't yet it seems aren't very smart yeah I can't really think wondering now but. On. Keeping it must coming we let them -- up at popSiren vision three. ActiveX. And active you can explain how -- square and the they. Are and yeah number -- Andy's. -- I and I remember those from school and I'm going to get back. And I can't."
" It and it. Are always outside her act. And hackers -- get this. Tell me that scene where. We're. At it that. I -- new episodes -- networking and every Thursday it -- It isn't. The second that would unstoppable yeah well that's another one bites and that's it. I mean I thank you exact difference. Thank you for watching until next time I'm -- and I investing apartments that."
" Yeah yeah. V and use. That at. And the is yeah."

" Hey Ivan all of this absolutely free senator popSiren is that -- by Netflix and -- UT and godaddy.com. And I and I just recorded and this show is -- section of modern culture. Science and maintenance. It actually works. Not just saying. East and experiment -- he vehemently -- editors -- of our theory and applications at night. I mean. Yeah I know I know it's there are elements as and it's or that any. And that. What an up while also showing you how to un punk rock features. All hail the action down at.

" Racing at breakneck speed down steep -- on wheels. You know big wheels the past tricks from argues that take after -- style motorcycles. Was held -- Francisco on Easter Sunday. Now I guess that Bay Area artist John room -- had a vision after he stumbled across a broken big wheel on the street. And west Oakland California and diss something when it and that's the wacky sport was born now. The only little is that you know -- are just flat that's that's how big will have always been historic I remember I had one month it was pink rubber wheels. Get traction and therefore they're going to allow faster and more controlled driving. Now is about and it's just it's just not really about meaning themselves -- having fun as you that's that's. That's what you'd like to do it on the slopes now popSiren very on video editor Marie C above an act he noticed here."
" Things. Yeah. You got sent to news back memories together and a signify honestly like he's a nice guy he's good -- what it does didn't it was a silly as an hour speed net -- at all not willing to make the come with somebody enough to do here is to break out the right Latin -- that it according to attack not concept in the marine species have been found as a result 82000 mile expedition.

" So my friend found this incredibly awesome -- his flashlight at a flea market in Manhattan a couple of years back. First we thought we just put it on a shelf somewhere look nice on his shelf right. The ball that burned out long ago nevermind finding batteries to power the darn thing. That are the same time super high powered light emitting diets -- LED started becoming way more affordable and -- good news for us how cool would it need to modernize this old light casing with an LED and rechargeable batteries. To understand how and why we put it together the way to we did you need to know a little bit about the science of the LED. Now the light emitting diet. It's made it semi conductive material that only allows current -- in one direction the material is called and defective because its properties fall somewhere in between out of true insulator and can actors. The ability of the semiconductor material in east to produce light totally dependent on the movement of Elektra and I told you on a previous show that impact electrons in atomic orbital determine if -- with the magnetic field. Well electrons around the Adams also determine the color of light that material emitted or absorbed in this case we're talking about -- You can think electron orbital as existing in energy levels low energy electrons awfully much slower than their high energy electron counterpart. The energy levels in which electorate has similar energy exists are called band we'll be hearing that conduction band and -- and bands. There are areas between bands that don't contain any electrons at all and these are called and Gatt. And they the barrier to the movement of electrons between the various energy levels. To create a conductor -- note to different semiconductor materials respectively called. I placed right next to each other that keep tight have been dealt with impurities -- they have room in their lower levels. Where are more electrons to jump and anti have been moved out to put more electrons in higher energy levels of those energy energized electorate want to fall down from a high level to below. At the junction between the the electrons. Load down that energy gradient. -- so well. At the batteries attached to the semiconductor that flow can continue to happen until the battery run out of charged because the batteries -- continue to push the new electrons. Incident and five and pulling it out of the now of the current flows through the Diana frowned and the peace side experience of the drop in voltage this voltage. That's lost -- either giving off its heater light. And in the case -- special semiconductor materials the electron that are X that they pass from high to low energy state give off energy at visible light. And the colors that are -- by LE DAs are directly related to the frequency of the energy released of those electrons move around. It's frequent thing also directly related to the amount of energy that's needed to power the LED. -- red light has a much longer wavelengths then violet light and it requires less energy to produce. For the Apple add in red LTD in the electrons moving down -- gradient released one point nine electron volts in the form of photons with the full amount of energy one point nine electron -- The photons therefore remove at a frequency of four point six times ten to the point will hurt. With a wave length of 650 nanometer. Numbers aside when the photons hitter I they're traveling at the wave link -- visible as as red. These red LED need to be -- left for unbiased but at least one point nine volts to keep the light running. -- need they need three point one Bolton of electrons across that end so you need a bigger battery for at least he's with shorter wavelengths. Now for our flashlight kind of pop down to the neighborhood RadioShack and found the basic parts they -- it was a fun and that if you're gonna do something. It why not go way to -- thanks to the Internet. We were able to find a one watt white -- beyond LED with a formidable tastes of three point fourteen -- We also found a variable input voltage right there. We've put it didn't hear it packed away underneath that all the -- thing right next to a 2000 Millie and our what eleven point one volt rechargeable. Lithium polymer battery pack. What we got a lot of power going that this thing. The eighty -- came attacks to its own heat think but a quick test and when asked that it would need a lot more help to dump all the heat produced by a light. That we salvaged a fan and heat think from an old CPU holiday it housed here and I'd have this area. Been building a flight ladies have gotten even brighter. Of this plant produces about. Fifty though min you can now find LED that give up 200. Talk about being blinded by -- and the and the end stars back to you yeah."
" And everything that. And they think. Well people and it shouldn't instead. He's got another thing iTunes. Manfred Mann now and I look at China. I do feel pretty captivated the key here that explains things Bellic isn't imminent. It's seven point our prime minister and a intimidated at night your brain is still being I don't mean really now I can act. I'm not. Sometimes after she explains like magic and now. Imagine that. That an -- I plan -- it via at. And now want to give a big thanks to our newest. On -- yeah yeah yeah but you're not. As well that Ian and you've -- the -- he got -- set -- large selection is as good quality that he is out on earth and -- Orderly but what we really recommend if you aren't. -- can -- it is mixed up. Just bring you guys. And you got. Yeah it's adagio dot com. Slash -- and spit on my island -- sweet. And there it that's right. But it. That the competition now almost named mind Ferris pax T. I didn't I didn't -- at my -- it's lying in my suite. Senegal there I sometimes. Much. And -- and -- and it's. What is Clinton's -- mine is can't MEL -- men and write books that just thinking that night. It's gonna do -- little -- sweet karma going most kick we just fine and good my. All of tartan gunpowder. I don't what can I. Just I get figure that and I got sweet I think I actually AM and 11 PM -- I expect hurt the patent my picture because that expect it to be the confuse concoction blend. That's not thinking that it's okay you get to. It and seeing your house and the rest that's the popSiren. Key key -- and they -- on what you making their own custom ones you gonna totally Q is your favorite fireman is it. I mean I think it comes to competition and -- it on there it's on kind of people I just everybody's a red -- from. Day to bring. T. And climbed Christian right so. It's got I think treatment that's how we get hasn't he -- to what extent it outweighs."
" Today's -- kind of straight from Jeremy or G -- as he's known on -- army he loves my trick from a few weeks back on seating articles season -- online tool called against paper remember that. But here's my -- taste that is still off them he wrote a grease monkey script that integrate instant paper in to get at that it's so -- OK so here's here's what's going on -- it is the -- never bit never the website -- paper you can watch episodes one and pops out or but it it's really easy. Easy instructions there. You just install the grease monkeys correct it's a Firefox add on so you just need Firefox obviously in -- have to he's grease monkey about the link to this -- has yet. An -- shown -- so don't worry about that now once you've installed it switches and you know that its -- because doctor add ons and exit agrees that is working. Preferences that later on to victory yet yet yet all looks good here. Want to spark and you go over to the front page today. Or the political section has -- and all the sudden you notice anything different over there looking I got a lift Ariane next of the comments in the shares in the -- is called. Read later.

" movie entitled. Him to clean you shouldn't written and cool and -- form. You know the earliest form of written expression and it'd be about 40000. Years old. You feel smart already done that. You know I just realized something. I've been talking to him much Jessica."
" Joining us today is editor in chief of good magazine exactly -- welcome to popSiren exactly to convene here so let's see you are a founder of good magazine what -- magazines at the scene at the census I want to get the back story how to -- can't -- to --"
" Sure why it was com the group there's bigger befriends Tom went out to Los Angeles accidents that are a film company yet about it. You can you have announced credits of that entertaining entertaining movies about things that. No matter how it's exciting movies that you did it with your friends but sort of got -- a conference that was a little more relevant existing bookmarks. And dom once we started doing it realized hey we could make magazine. People would you know get the international staff members have a."
" Background in and publications in communications it was just have like you're home he's drinking Beers -- let's start a magazine we didn't especially."
" A background -- founders a guy whose family comes from the world magazine about. We have some people we -- but it was Mars you know we knew what we wanted to -- that are here we weren't being served."
" The magazines that are offered some sort maker of -- so so that the timeline is for people who who giving good for -- what are beginning again about."
" Well it's really -- Did a damn about anything and that's sort of what gets us excited is that all of a sudden there are young people who are giving a damn ordinary going to. Environment politics and international issues that are etc. and we feel like its chains and we certainly want to talk to that and Kurds."
" Yeah act as he wanted his giant days. Globally probably where we ran away from the issues because they're coming they're getting to be too big -- now we're like turning and facing and yeah exactly you guys are treating your audiences that there intelligent which is really nice."
" We do want to give people credit for being intelligent you know we think there aren't smart people out there."
" And they're they're really underserved right now -- a lot of sources of information that are sort of the lowest common denominator into the -- it rental as it were the people -- but they're fine and you know that's exciting rank but."
" They aren't there are really getting into the issues and with a satisfying and there are a lot of."
" Magazines and you know media outlets on the other hand that do get into -- well so."
" Which kind of brings you to my next question which is you -- some big issues that had things like you know nuclear war are and globalization and like these things when people hear sometimes disco tune out. I'm wondering how do you who delivered these issues without being overwhelming too heavy. And how'd he do it and be engaging relevant."
" However we you know we never -- You know going to run a forcing anything down on drugs yes that's not I don't want to preacher and -- so lot of it is just again. Presentation you know like please -- want to cover politics we have just the story running merely physical political NASCAR where we talked. Hillary Clinton and now we we -- an image of her and we dressed her up and -- can ask very uniform but instead of life. You know camel cigarettes are Budweiser we had the largest political donors as sponsors on her uniforms there was sort of a fun way to engage in its interest in serious information about the presentation as what sort of -- people --"
" Absolutely and that's also what makes it cool an individual makes it cools it would you do things like that important Eric -- Medical schools got so what is the master plan for good magazine I don't know well we've we've."
" determined that there is an audience here that does care about serious things but also wants so that's good that's satisfying. Com and now we want to sort of grow -- reads them wherever we are so the magazine and news. A good starting players but we're really gonna build out our website in the coming here. Web videos and it's really exciting to -- and also listed and -- you know an event strategy just going to different cities and helping these people you know meet up in the real world so have an opening there."
" Awesome and so last question what is the story selection process like. Had you editor in chief how do you get through other storyteller when it has."
" The the only way we've been able to have any success has just died doing stories that we want to read ourselves so you know -- there's ways. Put it out there to anyone in the company and and many people they now they're like okay now we're doing an issue about. Finally what later ideas what's exciting to you and then it sort of filters back to and we kind of process certain. The -- that you're betting on your sensibilities it's exactly Thailand and what are some your favorite stories that have come through so far. Com we'll a lot of my favorite stories are the ones were reduced sort of but the interest in presenters and quests we've we've had a media issue a little while ago it and I'm bound into that issue we have them. Pull out media mogul trading cards so we don't like soccer so the okay I'm in the united them at your program and I that's a sort of one way to present them."
" I love it I love and honestly yes thank you for -- view it's all gig -- whether it's an active. Thanks Jess now for something in the --"
" I did love love this but the morning news dot org figured despite its -- it diverts literary and it got to read -- equal -- at this article. Despite challenges are you karaoke enthusiasts I want you don't wearing arm. That's great ready yet to get the rock song I recently -- and read it rains it alphabetical order class no word is listed more than one. It seems sort of easier well we created one for you so let's see how it'll first person that -- right in -- of gags. Next week."
" I Netflix -- of the week. Which is act I think. That's that. -- It means I'm not the least likely -- ever but still it. In the three point blank because yeah. Ever foresee anything because. Themselves and it just. Got better dead whereas. Us. I don't agree flop -- junkies. -- look at where I. Can't Becky exactly. And forums. The price tag and thanks to Netflix watch he's great he sacked -- morning and night. So tired of your girl. -- model maker would be caught dead lacking is found don't rent Netflix has been. And other titles including -- picture. Instantly. -- Netflix com slash siren. Studies on the clock is."
" Well why doppler might have been when my favorite I hate it I think he's gonna do and doing it. Yeah online outlet might have been one of my favorite yeah -- I now in -- he's could have stickers -- an era picture. But I just like. Atlanta are now -- it's tapper old jet's -- to get your hands there."
" Yeah segment that we call the battery -- were we agreed that new life and old where's Ari -- in this case you can breathe new life continue where's and I want to show you and how to make punk rock teachers 'cause we can -- and rocking again. Just feels so -- please check out that it's. Fahrenheit it is if you want to make sure that you got first up a teacher okay. Add an extra -- in the sharks you know and pulled one of the -- turn it inside out and work from Mary Alice ready to. Com at -- and it just make sure they start because again we're using bleach responsibly with -- here so you want to make sure you know can't leaked. White and it come out to just make -- got -- yeah maybe -- exactly -- want to have sprayed a thank you gonna fill a spray bottle with one part water one parts each. Like that's. Easy -- but have -- exactly luckily head at some point you decide what you want on your teacher what kind especially right. So of course we -- handy dandy popSiren you know sort of logo wish of course activities. Here bomb. Well -- onion is not custom made it's pencils let me use it as an art store and exactly sort of -- exactly -- use your own creativity and this is much as you want like we did here or you can just go pretty stock market -- you know you just get blocks. And you put -- on your shirt. And then check it out aren't gonna want to do is. Spray. These -- space there's a service like that and it's not working area. But eventually at least now. Honestly -- will it's very clear that it's very clean and totally had actually right now -- you each around it's you get that out. I mean I just look at the wake us even -- at paris' earns. Or paintbrush whatever you accurate and anyone that's in the shape that you can tell you exactly exactly still and then what you gonna want to do is over time you're gonna start to see you know an answer to fade up. I say it brightens. Ultimately we'll start bleaching can -- exactly ten minutes and you're gonna want to watch you know because as soon as it is at your brightness capacity and optimum. Figure -- take. Pick up on things. I mean it's -- really teach you how clean you take it and yet throw it away in the washer and -- way he just hiding in Britain that. Why are sick and and -- you come out with something that collects light. --"
" It. I'm -- you know accept it's it's. I'm looking at these yeah play and how Adam Blake lately and yeah that's just me but -- bet that and it's cool because it's it's kind of."
" Blurry but it's cooler and yet I like not -- accurate it like perfect I can't possibly -- for a lot of money and uneasiness and then make gun and Mike's our patents and again. Whom I like it like it's a visit this is the little punk rock T -- unless that first literally no money and not a lot of times dig it step by step instructions on how to make your own upon -- revision3.com. Slash popSiren. And we're all about learning new stuff here on popSiren. So recently I went in search of amazing tutorials for this edition. -- Start on the ground is that he but I -- daddy dot com tell."
" World class goes seemed fast and easy -- set builders and lots more dot com names -- 11990. -- video. And does it make an impact on line had good data dot com plus Anderson Simon let me check out -- additional ten. Higher -- yeah."
" Just yesterday co -- to speed and hours and haven't some Beers mention something and -- on twitter that it's funny at which point that something like. It is twitter that. -- You hand out words in you know it's like this case means. Yes thank you I'm planet and -- aren't you got so that everybody. Either in these people that point or knows somebody in fact it's at least -- month. RSS feeds some absolutely and her family member in Mildred what are and it's impossible and -- them because I don't work. But I have a really hard time and then in. Wit it's and I can understand it explained in plain English exactly in English very good keywords that the patents. I love the folks over at a place called common crap dot com bill really is specifically. -- To help people stands up a web series called plain English. I like is -- expect at twitter and winning the fact that -- that yes."
" It's what are you doing. It's one of the first questions we often ask friends and family. Even if the answer is just mowing the lawn or cooking dinner. It's it's just into us it makes us feel connected and a part of each other's lives. Unfortunately. Most of our day to day lives are hidden from people that care. Of course we have email and blogs and phones to keep -- connected but you wouldn't send an email to a friend -- having coffee. Your friend doesn't need to know that but what about people that want to know about the little things that happen in your life. Real life happens between blog posts and emails. And now there's a way to share it's possible to share short bite sized updates about your life and follow the updates that people that matter to you via the wet. Here's how it works."
" I eat. It now I mean it's so good did to tie the visual way that it's special and and getting people. You know it's not condescending right but it's really like elementary elements and it's sort of like hey if you get -- website -- looking at and just get in Streisand's march tornadoes we'll look at it differently -- I mean I used but I understand better I -- it sounds like. Healthy arteries and -- humanize the whole process that people actually care now I mention RSS kind of craft not only has -- fingers but how are -- plain English which is super -- get a few more to do I think this -- really -- really nice way to get a little buzz has come out and is now and let people on you know the -- some are assassin on photos -- to suspect that another site that I really like that spells out how new sites and services -- called. Demo girl -- thanks for your mind Donald. -- on there -- online toys services when she gets a really firm grasp on how something new works to record the very simple screen -- Watch the features. Does that she likes and doesn't like that like to -- fine and they're really simple I mean it's just it's just horrible it's just going to thing that you don't have to spend I think minutes watching it and like let's just say that you can go inside of ministers don't do it you know before you kind of get an idea of what's going on what's nice I heard that just -- Objectives does -- these companies. Sound it a little bit different than a company give me this very behind -- screen cast of clinics and the Google ones they've done really well but -- gone forever they say that every single feature. And you know something -- involved give -- a quick end you know don't sugarcoat it right. Anyway if you look explain things like twitter our staff blogging. -- an alliance great -- common craft products with twitter but that's it you're looking at discovering new Internet service -- herself. -- This."
" It used now there are at this so apartment seeing dare rain trapeze stunts. Target shooting and zombie apocalypse is from Heather. And you must be wondering. What next actually she's managed to open it again. Whatever wacky -- an -- this edition of the friends."
" All right thank you asked for -- inserts today I introducing new. This back stick that crafty electronic pop musician performer. Dan Bolton who hails from Baltimore Maryland I know your thinking. Freaking weirdo. But trust me you'll soon be hypnotized. The graduate degree in this election. Mastermind of shriek -- cerebral catchy pop melodies. Like this one. -- spread of electronic. Including hand me. Rely regulators. Over opening rolling. Maybe the sun in my -- this guy is clever and crappy. Classified under the interact on that I like to call it that rock band you still crazy."
" And again they can begin I don't like his name. Yes there's a there's a fine line between -- ingenious and I'm not shared. Mean let's I didn't mean yeah. Let's do lunch. You that's cryptic but in any."
" Scatter and Heather actually she wanted to subsided she really wants you to put -- on her radar and certain -- and seeing how do you think it right now I can't -- it's not so when he. Across one that's where the email -- popSiren haven't been really -- like this segment up already acting we've got an email to read these and digests. -- PopSiren upset three -- an expression of the week featured Ivo phobia the fear pound sounds great it's a -- you're paying attention you -- it must be awkward for some in the back and try researching it. Or expense of others very trip. Had ever heard."
" Of hip -- monsters that quit it dad Leo Bobby don't lot of good and it it's the fear. Of long words imagine trying to remember that one you're suffering from it. College perfect execution. You know I was actually really nervous as really cares about -- every action there. -- show off or yeah I comment thank you weren't yet it seems aren't very smart yeah I can't really think wondering now but. On. Keeping it must coming we let them -- up at popSiren vision three. ActiveX. And active you can explain how -- square and the they. Are and yeah number -- Andy's. -- I and I remember those from school and I'm going to get back. And I can't."
" It and it. Are always outside her act. And hackers -- get this. Tell me that scene where. We're. At it that. I -- new episodes -- networking and every Thursday it -- It isn't. The second that would unstoppable yeah well that's another one bites and that's it. I mean I thank you exact difference. Thank you for watching until next time I'm -- and I investing apartments that."

I am a big blue LED person (should see my front room at night..scary) so that was easily my fave Dr Kiki segment ever so far.
Great show as usual! [/COLOR]:cool:

about Blinded by the Light:
The original lyrics (and song for that matter) were done by Bruce Springsteen, and had nothing to do with douches (unless you happen to think Bruce is).
The original lyrics were :
"Cut loose like a deuce"*
Manfred Mann's version bastardized it a bit, but still retained meaning:
"Revved up like a deuce"** - as in deuce coupe (a 50's style hot rod for the younguns).

The dance video at the end of the credits was hilarious, and amazing. I was laughing so hard by the end of it!
Love the show, and the cool little web apps the team finds. Great stuff, keep it up!
