Urban Craft Uprising Event this Sunday 11/6 in Seattle
If you are in Seattle on Sunday be sure to check out the Urban Craft Uprising event. It’s a craft sale by indie designers and crafters. “Our mission: We are funky, independent designers with craftitude. We will bring to Seattle, Washington an annual juried show of over 50 vendors whose work is handmade and reflects the current DIY revolution. Our goal is to provide the optimal environment for vendors to showcase their creations and for the public to have the opportunity to buy unique, handmade, one-of-a-kind items.” [via] Link.

Dale writes “This is an enclosure which holds and powers an Airport Express and a set of attached speakers to wirelessly stream music from iTunes. It also incorporates a Palm T|X which acts as an LCD wirelessly remote for iTunes using the Salling Clicker remote control software. The setup provides a nice set of compact wireless speakers for any spot with AC power that’s in Wi-Fi range of your home network.” 
Bruce writes “There’s been some hype about Nokia offering music downloads over Bluetooth to phones. This article shows you how to make your own MP3 file server, called the Bluetooth Music Store, that pushes MP3 to any Bluetooth device that supports OBEX.” 
This is a custom 1957 Nash Metropolitan that’s been Saskatchewan-ized for the snow! The wheels have been replaced with sleds and snowmobile tracks to power it along. Uses a 700cc, Yamaha triple, the insides look really rugged and solid – and of course, it’s a convertible! [
