Times are tough, and the economic crunch is definitely hitting a lot of people hard, so if you’re one of the unlucky ones that’s been forced out of your home by unfriendly foreclosure, then Motive is here to help.
They’ve put together a How-To that’s filled with tips for living out of your car, and with such gems as “screw fast food”, “keep clean to maintain your job and your sanity”, and “leave dryer sheets under the front seats to help mitigate the stink”, it’s an indispensable guide to mi casa es mi coche living arrangements.
You’ve probably had your car cleaned before, and you may have even had it detailed once or twice, but I can promise you that you’ve never had it cleaned and detailed like Clark’s Ne Plus Ultra can clean and detail it.
Recently, Clark decided to photograph and document his entire process for the Detailing World message boards, and reading through it is like a how-to for the automotively obsessed.
With four days of washing, waxing, measuring, taping, prepping, polishing, and even painting, the car comes out looking better than it ever has, even when compared to a factory fresh example.
Makes your bucket of suds seem rather simple by comparison, doesn’t it?
Paul Stamatiou’s 200 Dollar PC is an impressive piece of tech, and his now completed three part guide means that you can build your own as long as you can follow a relatively simple set of directions.
Specs include 1.2GHz of Intel Celeron power, 1GB of RAM, 250GB of hard drive, and a mini-ITX form factor to keep everything small and compact.
Uses include turning it into an NAS, a HTPC, a File Server, an Internet Termanal, an Art Piece, or anything else that you can think of, since for 200 big ones, you’re basically making a computer experiment.
Sadly, you still suck at Photoshop; but thankfully, Donnie is still here to help, and he’s continuing his series of sarcastically funny how-tos called “You Suck at Photoshop”.
Lesson three includes the clone stamp and manual cloning, and lesson four includes paths and masks, so you’ll be a pro in no time.
However, there’s no need to worry, because Donnie Hoyle has put together a great couple of how-to vids called, surprisingly enough, “You Suck at Photoshop”.
Lesson one includes distort, warp, and layer, and lesson two includes fixing the mistakes that you undoubtedly made in lesson one, so by the end of the 10 minutes, you should suck at Photoshop slightly less than before. (Though not much.)
Wet shaving can improve your health, save you money, help the environment, and make you feel better about yourself by doing something that you already do every day, so why aren’t you doing it?
More than likely, it’s because you don’t know how.

The quick how-to that the article gives is simple, and should have you shaving face in no time.
