Old Stuff Made New, New Stuff Made "Buzzy" (For Lack of a Better Descriptive Term)

Sometimes, folks who like to tinker with stuff create new stuff out of old or they dream up accessories that no one has dared yet fathon. Which is the case today in the blogosphere, where the day's 23rd most-cited blog post describes a new-from-old creation from Ben Heckendorn, whose previous creations have included a portable Nintendo 64 set. This time, it's a jerry-rigged Atari laptop (really), as captured by Engadget. Do you suppose it plays Pong?

As for new-thing enhancements, the UK's Sun Online copy desk probably meant no Freudian slip (or did it?) with this headline: "Huge buzz for iPod gizmo" (today's 6th most-cited news story). It's an attachment, let's say, that provides libidinous pleasure and movement when hooked up to an iPod. And it's called an iBuzz. "This goes on the Christmas list just because it's genius!" raves one LiveJournaler. "Hell, almost makes me wish I was a woman" intones another. "Probably not safe for work," cautions another. Although in all honesty, that admonition could depend on your line of work.
