Geek fun

Yes, Robin, I am serious about overclocking a toothbrush. It's an Oral B electric toothbrush that was purchased at Wal-mart; you know, the store where the evil children live and terrorize shoppers. I made a trip to Radio Shack and bought an "AA" battery holder that holds two batteries. The toothbrush only holds one "AA" battery. So I am soldering the dual battery holder to the leads in the toothbrush and then taping the new holder to the handle. Twice the power which equals a 100% overclock.

Kevin Rose actually performed this modification on The Screensavers last week. Before all y'all start up, sometimes you just have to take a few minutes out and have fun. It's required. Tried the brush this morning at regular speed and it's not too impressive. Will post my results when through.

Tomorrow will be a long day and I am going to bed early. A project HAS to be completed by tomorrow evening. Everyone stay casual.
