Headphone Cord Winder Dealios

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:09:00 +1300

So I bought myself one of these little headphone cord thingys, to combat the fact that when I put my earbuds in my bag, they inevitably end up tangled, knotted and generally a pain-in-the-ass to sort out when I want to use them again.

I have to say though, I’m not finding this much of an improvement. It probably takes me about the same time to unwind the headphones from this little contraption that it used to take me to untangle them.

Enter: the spool!

Not only does this look easier to unwind, but also.. look! It’s a spool!

Found at design studio The Other Edge, I’ll be hoping one of these appears in the stocking this Christmas..

“

1) The fact that an electron has no known size — it’s smaller than the smallest measurement we have ever made of anything.

2) That Quarks come only in pairs: If you try to separate two of them, the energy you sink into the system to accomplish this feat is exactly the energy to spontaneously create two more quarks - one to partner with each of those you pulled apart.

3) That the space-time structure inside a rotating black hole does not preclude the existence of an entire other universe.

ginger fudge

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:50:41 +1300

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk

50g butter

1/2 - 1 tsp ground ginger

1 Tbsp golden syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1. Measure the sugar, milk and butter into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the ground ginger and golden syrup.

2. Bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to boil. Do not stir after the mixture starts boiling.

3. Boil until 1/4 tsp of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that keeps its roundish shape unless flattened by the fingers or until a candy thermometer reads 235F. The fudge is cooked at this stage.

4. Remove from the heat and cool until the saucepan is cool enough to touch. Add the vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge shows signs of thickening.

5. Quickly pour the mixture on to a buttered sponge-roll tin, “swirling” the top with a knife before it sets too hard. Cut the fudge into squares as soon as it is firm (If you have overcooked it, the fudge will harden so it is difficult to cut neatly).
