Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories are at it again. This time enticing us with the step by step instructions for you to make your girl her own d12 handbag, that really looks like a d12!

Here’s some of my other favorites from the Evil Mad Scientists I’ve blogged about before:

- How to Make a BristleBot

- Teardown process of a nixie tube

- Lego Abominations

I just love this one. Why isn’t every geek building it?

Not cheap, just frugal.

For years I’ve been using the Windows+L key combination to lock my workstation. Recently I stumbled across this neat trick. Create a shortcut on your quick launch toolbar that will lock the workstation for you.

Steps:

1. Right click on your deksotp and select New, Shortcut
2. Paste this text in - rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
3. Click next and type a name for the shortcut, like maybe Lock
4. Click Finish
5. You can right click on your new shortcut and change the icon (there is a lock icon as part of the collection in %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll)
6. Drag the icon to your taskbar

Voila!
