The Homebake Club builds an Apple I

Giveaway!Since it seems as if Apple isn't going to celebrate their 30th birthday with a special event, we here at Geek Culture Headquarters figured we'd just have to release something special ourselves! So, keeping with the birthday tradition, we decided to bake a birthday cake, and what more appropriate cake to build than one that looks like an Apple I! Details on how to build your own here!

Macmerc.com creates "The Apple Remote Control Fart Machine"!

Just in time for April Fool's Day and Apple's 30th Anniversary, our pal RickMacMerc over at Macmerc.com has created a hilarious tutorial on how to build an Apple-styled remote control fart machine. Using off-the-shelf parts such as an AirPort Express Base Station, Macally PodWave Portable Stereo Speakers, and the ever-loving iTunes, Rick has put together the prankster's gadget "for the rest of us." Fart Different!
