All you need is a radish and, like, a degree in radish-whittling. So, no. You probably can't do this at home. Cute though!
Even though this video is pretty old by internet standards, it really started taking off this week, and for good reason. This guy, who calls himself Lyric, makes his own beats using a couple of pens and his wrists, and is actually a pretty decent rapper.

What do a 12.1” touchscreen, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, and parts of an old MacBook put together bring you? A very impressive Apple tablet mockup. It's called iTab Mini, and, of course, it has nothing to do with Apple.
Wanting to build your own pinball machine? Understandable. Choosing to theme your new game around Bill Paxton? Slightly less sane. Either way, this guy's got Paxton's film history down — with a pinball backglass featuring the crew of Apollo 13, the plane from Slipsteam, a few wives from 'Big Love', and yes, even the ROV from Titanic.
This young man is attempting (and from the looks of it succeeding) at smelting iron ore in a microwave, all in the name of trying build a toaster from scratch. I wish you luck, sir!
A crafty DIY-er creates a jacket from used Capri Suns that she apparently rummaged from my trash can in 1998. Someone alert Suze Orman! This is something she must have in her wardrobe.

With the DTV transition come and gone, it's time to put your old, obsolete analog TV to good use. Perhaps as a mini bar? Fish tank? The possibilities are endless!
Food Buzz Here is how you can brew your own beer in a coffee maker (with special instructions for those of you stuck on oceanographic research vessels). This also seems like a great way to lure girls to your dorm room.
Culture Buzz These range from goofy costume-grade stuff to kind of disturbing, steampunk-level DIY retractable blades. The perfect compliment to your bad Wolverine costume.
Food Buzz For everyone who missed the Tagalong boat this year: here are a bunch of recipes for all your favorite cookies. I just lost my weekend and gained 20 pounds.
Culture Buzz Word to the wise: a motorized bar stool meets the legal definition of a vehicle. So Kile Wygle was just trying to drive home from the bar, on his motorized bar stool, like you do, but he unfortunately crashed right outside his house. He called 911 because his head hurt - and then the unsympathetic cop charged him not only with a DUI but with driving with a suspended license. A sad day for motorized bar stool enthusiasts everywhere.

Here is your latest edible science project: making mini ice creams out of creamer cups. I'm going to try this as soon as I can get my hands on some half-and-half; stay tuned.
Kill two birds with one stone…uhh, or a different cliché. You get the idea.
Created by artist and DIY-er Becky Stern, this cozy stuffed femur is based off of pictures from her recent knee surgery. Nothing like cuddling with your own anatomically accurate femur.
12-year old Max Wallack won Design Squad's Trash to Treasure contest by creating the “Home Dome” — a structure created from wire, plastic and packing peanuts designed to provide shelter for the homeless or anyone who has lost housing due to natural disaster.
Tech Buzz It's always fun to harass your friends offline, just like you do online, so make sure you can always leave a comment — even when you're away from the computer.
Culture Buzz So there's this company that lets you enter you and your significant other's names online, and it then prints out a full erotic book about the two of you! For instance, my free excerpt about the first couple read, “Michelle decided that she did have time for some more playtime with Barack after all.” Go have a ball.
Since I really can't explain this on my own: “The Joydick is a wearable haptic device for controlling video gameplay based on realtime male masturbation.” Get it? Brought to you by the SF Media Labs, there is a theory behind the madness (and it's quite complicated, surprisingly). Also, you can get the precise instructions on how to make your own…device. And if you're a dude, you already have the most complicated piece of equipment!
