Bad Idea Monday

Don The Idea Guy

I’m introducing a brand new feature to the DTIG BrainBlog — Bad Idea Monday.

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload.
And nobody’s gonna go to school today,
She’s going to make them stay at home.
And daddy doesn’t understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold.
And he can see no reason
‘Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays.
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays.
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays.
I want to shoot the whole day down.
~ Boomtown Rats
“I Don’t Like Mondays”

How ironic that the first line of these lyrics begins with silicon chips inside heads, and this first Bad Idea Monday entry kind of deals with the same topic.

This Week’s Bad Idea:
The Dead Mouse Computer Mouse
Hacked travel-size (hardware) mouse + taxidermied (wetware) mouse = Mouse Mouse.
Fully functional, furry, and kinda gross.

Warning: this project involves taxidermy, dremels, and sometimes graphic pictures of dead animals. While there are no guts in this tutorial, viewer discretion is still advised. If you are offended by this entire idea — skip the link!

It’s like 91 degrees outside right now in Columbus, Ohio as I sit at my desk and work on this post. My Amazon Alexa sitting behind me on the shelf keeps pinging me with “Severe Weather” notifications because of local air quality alerts. This seems like the perfect time to share some of the hot […]
