Peter Skarpetis | May 5, 2008 | 8:21 am

Walking by Chatswood Chase shopping centre yesterday I noticed the construction for the new Apple store. Here’s a pic of the work site.

I took the picture with my unlocked / pawned iPhone :). How ironic is that?

Scott bike frame falls to pieces

Peter Skarpetis | March 11, 2008 | 8:54 pm

Got this picture from a friend today. Some guy was riding along Beach Road in Melbourne doing about 50 Km/h, when the frame just fell apart.

Ouch!

Recycling to the max

Peter Skarpetis | December 31, 2006 | 2:59 pm

Buying new gadgets always leaves me with the chore of cutting up the packaging and placing it in the recycling bin. Recently I bought a Sony Bravia X-series LCD display and ended up with a rather large cardboard box.

I’ve had this cabinet without a back in my garage for a while and have been contemplating blocking the back so that it becomes a fully enclosed cabinet. A few days ago I was having a BBQ and mentioned it to my uncle who is a carpenter. His immediate response was “why don’t you just cut up that big box over there and use it instead of buying some wood”. Well that’s exactly what I did and here are some pictures showing the process.

1. Half covered back of cabinet. Nails were used to attach cardboard to the back of cabinet.

half way there
2. View from the inside of the cabinet. Looks just like the inside of a box.

3. Rear view of finished product with me standing behind it. Lots of gaffer tape used to seal gaps.

Well now I just need to paint it!

And here is the finished product. It won’t win any beauty contents however it will keeps it contents dust free.
