Improvising a car fuse
From the RULES OF THUMB blog, whose RSS feed doesn't actually link to its items (?!), this interesting and potentially flammable tip: "If your car blows a weird-looking fuse and you don't have a spare--one wrap of cigarette-pack foil around the old fuse will give you a 20 amp emergency fuse; two wra...

US military data-mines America's kids for war recruiting
An amazing piece in Mother Jones on how the No Child Left Behind Act made it possible for military recruiters to gather personal data on millions of unsuspecting American teens. When I asked him whether he'd ever talked to a military recruiter, Travers, a 19-year-old African American with a buz... More.

SIlent film re-edit of so-called "drunkest guy ever" surveillance video
I wonder if giving viral videos an old-timey silent movie treatment will become more popular. As for the actual content of the video, I thought it was sad. I hope the man in the video receives the help he needs to recover and stay well. He may not have been drunk. Maybe he was in insulin shock or s... More.

Are they more permanent than your average permanent marker, I wonder...usually by the time I get to the store, whatever I wrote on my hand is so blurred up, I can't make it out. >:(
Cute, but other than the novelty I don't see the advantage over just using the marker.
It'd be helpful if I could have it on the palm of my hand rather than the back where all the world can see that at some point today I shall be PICKING UP SOME MILK. Though writing it would probably feel like a very angry and unhygenic mosquito bite.
This would be quite useful in the hospital. Nurses write notes on dressings and colostomy bags and such so that the next shift knows when to change things. Doctors are also known to make notes on patients for surgery. This could just organize all the notes onto one piece of patient.
To me, it's not a real to-do list if it doesn't have checkboxes.
Good god, but what are those of us who write our shopping lists on plain non-lined paper to do when we've run out of plain non-lined paper and need to write on our hands? Can we purchase 'blanks' of these transfers without the lines?
Hold on. Wouldn't you have to write your to do list in mirror writing?
Though I bet after you'd done that you'd remember what was on that list.
Perfect notepad app for your palm pilot.
Awesome.
Avram,
I guess you can draw the checkboxes yourself, which is what I usually do.
Or just use checkmarks without a box.
checking without a box is where it's at, man. THINK OUTSIDE THE LINES. ; )
Yeah, consume more!!!!!!1
I've done something similar to this for years. If there is something that i think of that i need to get, say a birthday card or run by the ATM or something small that needs to be done but not something that's going to be on my mind, I'll wright the first letter of what it is on the web part of my hand between my thumb and index finger. That way when I'm in the car going wherever, I'll see on my hand (while it's on the stearing wheel) a reminder of what I need to do.
But now that I'm riding a motorcycle (to save on gas) this isn't going to work so well since I wear gloves when I ride...
OK, I have to ask something of the Americans onboard, that always bothered me..
In American movies and tv (not an accurate measure, but the only measure I have at hand), whenever someone wants to write something on their hand (and reinforced by the picture above), they ALWAYS write it on their palm, whether they have a sharpie or a ball-point.
Now maybe it's just me, but I sweat a whole lot more through my palms than the back of my hands, so if I wrote on my palm (and if I could write through the palm-clamminess in the first place) it would undoubtedly be gone by the time I needed to remember the written information..
I always, and anyone I've ever known (insofar as I witnessed them writing on their hand) always, writes on the BACK of their hand..
Any takers on this?
I make a fist and write on the space between thumb and forefinger. Sorry about the hand-clamminess. Maybe you should put the pint down occasionally.
Nah.
the palm hides the message. Watch school children.
Myself, I just imprint the chromatophore sequence on an expendable member.
Nah.
Wow, as a notecard carrying member of the Hipster/hPDA set, I salute Andy Ward for going that one step further!
Awhile back I created "The Mission Band" so folks can write on a paper bracelet...but these tatts take the cake.
..it's not consistent clamminess, just more often than the never-clammy associated with the back of my hands..
oh noes, I've let the intarwebz know about my palm-clams
A friend of an old roommate of mine in Seattle has this permanently tattooed on his thigh. Pretty cool except you'd have to be wearing shorts for it to be useful.
I like writing my to do list on my inner arm. I can cover it with a long sleeve if I need to (or want to hide it), and it takes way longer to rub off than even the back of my hand. It also is a much better writing surface than any part of my hand. -- If I really want to be able to hide my list I'll write it up near my shoulder, under my short sleeves.
Oh! But I just noticed - how clever of the advertiser to use a hand with a wedding ring! It shows that this is mature and sophisticated - way beyond the childishness of just writing on oneself with a pen. (Or tracing veins and drawing in gashes...) I wonder about the implications of the female hand without a wedding ring (on the product packaging) might be...
Mmrph. Sand paper, bacon, kitty litter and vodka, AND no wedding ring? Sounds like a hell of a good time to me.
That picture is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. You don't write on the palm of your hand because it gets rubbed off.
Numbers #14 and #20 got it right.
yeah, i don't remember ever seeing anyone write on their palm. usually my friends used their arms

@28: IDCSESU?
fricking googlethump for Ross, more shots (shit) - "thanks" D3...it's too HOT for all this likker, I'm gonna git sick
Homicidal maniacs would find it handy too....
"Get up in the morning, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Death, Lunch, Death, Death, Death, Afternoon Tea, Death, Death, Death, Quick shower…"
They might run out of space on their hands, but I dare say they could find a few others thereabouts...
Ain't nothing wrong with a piece of paper. It's, like, EVERYWHERE. That envelope that your auto insurance thingee came in? That's paper!
anyone remember the movie Memento?
Tictack - No, I didn't write it down so I don't remember it. :)
Wouldn't you have to write backwards for the tatoo to work?
You should just go to Fred and check out all the junk. They're my favorite source of plastic crap I really shouldn't buy.
Bethany
gee! Tanks Bethanyanne! Dat's some cool stuffs! Freds cool!
I saw these in a little shop down in Sanibel Island, FL. They are a great gag gift for your friends who forget everything. My one friend always has her whole hand covered in assignments and things to do reminders. It hints at "you can still use your hand to organize reminders, but you should really just get a planner."

"Wouldn't you have to write backwards for the tatoo to work?"
No, it's not even that cool. The transfer is only the lines, you write the words in yourself, after applying the lines-transfer..
Wack!
Ok, Fred's actually got some cool shit.. :)
Although, I can't see his iPod-like earphones going without a lawsuit.
My husband writes on his palm all of the time, that way if it's another woman's phone number he can just rub his hands together and rub it off before I see it and can catch him. I think he's 38 going on 12 but what ever, if I get a number I don't want him to see I just save it in my cell phone and lock it so he can't look at my contact list, hope he doesn't read this...
