This Flickr user has owned his 14" TV since he was 16; when the power-switch broke, he decided to wring a few more years out of it by attaching a couple of "science lab" switches to it:
Link (via Make Blog)I fixed it. My way. The original switch was a two-part affair, the main switch turning on the high-voltage guts with a second smaller switch turning on the tuner. These are not normal switches that you can go to Maplin and pick up, so I did the next best thing - picked up generic, science-lab looking switches and mounted them on the side. To complete the look, I've added labels printed on my Dymo: "POWER" and "LAUNCH".
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
