Hobby 5: Dry Ice Bomb
This week's activity won the hobby poll, none other than the legendary dry ice bomb. A dry ice bomb is a simple bomb-like device. While the simplicity and ease of construction, high bursting pressure, and sound make the dry ice bombs attractive for recreational purposes, they can be unpredictable and dangerous.
Birju's mom works at a laboratory, and she suggested that we take some of her dry ice that she brings home every night for her own "doings." So we decided to take advantage of this and create a bomb with the dry ice, because it won our hobby poll (even though Birju and his mom probably rigged the results). We gathered all of the materials and placed the dry ice in the freezer because we wanted to plan this activity out first. When we came back to get the ice, Mike's dad was playing with it, and got his hand frostbitten. He was mad for Birju's actions. Birju is so stupid, you will realize in the movie that Patty filmed. I hope you guys enjoy this weeks activity.
Materials:
-Dry Ice
-Plastic Bottle
-Hammer
-Gloves
-Dry Ice Container
-Warm Water
-Stars and Stripes (if you dare)
Pros:
-Makes obnoxious loud noise
Cons:
-See Birju in video
To make your own bomb, crush up some dry ice and dump it into a half-filled bottle of warm water. Shake and throw far away from fire hydrants. Also, be careful of leaving crushed ice on the sidewalk. Dogs might eat it.
Have fun and be safe.

Hobby 4: Ikaruga
This week we're playing the impossible video game, Ikaruga. The gameplay consists of shooting enemies who come in one of two polarities: either black or white (or possibly red and blue). The player's ship can be either polarity, and can be switched at will.
We have never beaten Ikaruga. Seriously, has anyone? Basically, the game is only 5 stages long, yet we have only recently advanced our skills enough to pass stage 3. Check out our video of the impossible stage 4!
"This is where heroes are made."
Materials:
-SEGA Dreamcast
-Copy of Ikaruga
Pros:
-"It is among the most successful and recognized arcade shooter ports of the 2000s"
-"ScrewAttack voted Ikaruga the 2nd greatest 2D shooter of all time, while IGN voted it the 3rd greatest. ScrewAttack also declared it #9 on Top Ten GameCube Games."
If you can't find either of the materials, you can play a flash remake of the first boss here.
Enjoy everyone! Especially you, Harshal.

Guest Hobby: Cute Animal Photography
*This is a guest article written by Erik Stevenson*
I think most baby animals are cutie pies. Every once in a while, I stumble across a picture that really stands out from the rest. When I find these, I download them and store them in my "Cutie Pie Shrine". This is simply a large collection of images that I look at when I'm feeling down, entertaining guests, or my favorite--right now! I usually get about 1 new pic a week, but I've been doing this for a while and the collection is getting quite large.
The Hobby: Collecting pictures of baby animals that are cutie pies.
How it works: It's very easy!
1) As you browse the internet, pay careful attention to the pictures you see. If one catches your eye, DOWNLOAD IT!
2) Make sure you download it to a memorable location. This will help in case you decide to go back and look at it again someday, or if you plan on creating a shrine, like I did.
3) Rinse and repeat.
It might take a while to get started, but don't let that discourage you. Just take your time and SET REASONABLE GOALS. This is a key idea that helped me get to where I am today.
I have decided to include several of my favorite images to help get you off to a good start with your shrine. I hope you like them as much as I do. I'm sure that you will find that collecting pictures of cute baby animals and creating shrines based around them can be a fun, and rewarding experience.

New Music Widget
Today we added a brand new widget that plays some of our favorite music. We composed a list of four songs, for now, and came across the song: Spaceman by The Killers. So we ended up actually listening to the song and realized it makes no sense! Please help and interpret. To hear the song, click on "4. Spaceman" in the new widget.
