I made these two from scratch yesterday using cardboard and Trader Joe’s brown paper bags. One is reuse/recycle themed and the other is just Trader Joe’s themed. Full photo gallery with more pictures

Total cost was probably less than 50 cents each. Someday I’ll create a tutorial.
I’ve been using Linux Mint as my main home desktop for 11 years now and as of about a month ago I finally got rid of Windows. The two things that were holding me back were gaming and Overdrive ebooks.
Linux gaming has come a LONG way and it now works good enough for me to ditch Windows. I successfully got most games working:
As for Overdrive, I found Knock on github – it will take the downloaded .acsm file and download the epub file. I originally got Adobe Digital Editions installed and it worked, but Knock is much easier. I just put the knock executable into my ~/bin and once I download the .acsm file I run knock on it.
I just finished watching Star Wars Rebels and on a whim, looked up some related some domain names and to my surprise – karabast.com was available! So naturally, I bought it! I tossed a simple page up for now. No definitive plans for it at this point.
BTW – If you prefer this type of tutorial as a short youtube video, let me know.
So I’ve been playing around some more with making (cowboy) hats and came up with something that seems to work pretty well for me. This technique could be used for making other types of hats and I have even used this basic concept to make leather-ish clothing. The good thing is, this technique is cheap to experiment with.
This was a fun one to make. Here is my 8-T Gardening Droid from Into The Dark (High Republic). They are described as “similar appearance to that of an astromech droid dome, with magnetic treads and pincer claws that the droids used for pruning plants.” I actually suspect the bottom tread portion should be smaller but I had this so went with it.
