Testing a geiger counter? Elaborate practical joke? A throw at super powers?
For about $30, get your own bucket of Uranium Ore off Amazon. Make sure to have a look at the downright hilarious customer reviews:
I got this for the kids and they have a great time throwing it at each other and the pets. They put it in the pool and now I have to deal with some angry things from the center of the earth. Oh well the kids did have fun.

Dvb-T Receiver (patent pending)
I recently bought a Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Stick Solo 72e (bonus points for Pinnacle’s over-the-top naming scheme), because the public TV services in Belgium switched to digital broadcasting. It was the €40 pricetag which turned me. The box contains the USB 2.0 stick and an antenna. I advise on attaching this antenna to a metal object (the attach point is magnetic). I attached it to my desk lamp. I can’t light it and watch TV, but that’s a setback I can live with. No issue.
What’s the real issue then? More behind the cut.
Interesting art/game project: Levelhead. By combining filming and motion tracking of a little white cube, you can manipulate the projected game world inside by twisting and turning. Video behind the cut.
