-KeyShot to render the spoon
For this project, you need:-an iPad with Autodesk 123D Catch app (free download here)
*you may use a digital camera & Autodesk 123D Catch for online or PC instead
-brass knuckles (I used these plastic UrbanHooker fishing brass knuckles)
-a plastic spoon
-some fishing line
-a small amount of clay
-a pair of scissors
-you'll also need a computer with Autodesk MeshMixer software (free download here)

E3 2013: Wrap Up Coverage
Legit Event Reviews
Well another E3 has come and gone and we have all been listening to a steady stream of information about various news from the “Big 3” – Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. Here at Legit Reviews, we have been taking a slightly different look at the madness coming in from Los Angeles and wanted to share our thoughts on what we considered “Big News” from E3.
With that said, we have to take a moment to mention what has affected us directly here at Legit Reviews. Our last E3 article featured the various vendor models (aka “Booth Babes”) that grace every tech convention in the world. These are the models that help promote the product and help grab the attention of the convention-goer and reader.
Legit Reviews was contacted by a number of concerned industry veterans that by taking the model’s pictures and publishing it in a article called “The Best Booth Babes of E3 2013”, Legit Reviews was living in the dark ages and being sexist. We offered those that e-mailed us with concerns a chance to be in an editorial or sit down for a video interview with us to talk about sexism in gaming, so stay tuned. A number of companies appear to be changing the way they use sex in marketing and nearly 50% of the gaming market is women, so could major change be coming?
Over the next several pages, you can read our account from some of the major hardware vendors at E3, as well as some of the streams of consciousness our writers had during the week.
Personal Sewing Book
Determine how big you want to make your book, the fabric you prefer to use and what features you want. Here is what I decided to do.Fabric: This is not an item that will need to be washed regularly so felt should be fine. Cotton fabrics can be used but the edges must be finished and cardboard or other stabilizer may be needed.Size: 9” x 5 1/2” - Standard craft sheets of felt come 9” x 11” approximately. It's easily found in wonderful colors at craft and fabric stores and department stores with a craft department.Features: What do you want to store (and carry)? Thread, needles, straight pins, safety pins, scissors, measuring tape, yoyo makers, fabric for, turner (chop stick), pencils, instruction sheet(s)… This means we need 2 envelope pages (storage), 1 page of thread, 1 or 2 pages for tools (meas. Tape, scissors, markers, turner)...Closure: venetian blind cord; Many other items work just as well. Use what you have on hand.Decoration: Fabric flower and lace doilyHand sewn or machine sewn: machine sewnColor: greensOne last thing: Fabric alone tends to be flimsy so you may want to stabilize your book with some cardboard. If so, you want to create an “envelope” in the front and back covers for inserting a piece of cardboard. This is the option I will demonstrate here.

Keep Kids from Getting Out of Bed Early with a Timer and Nightlight
Everyone who's ever parented an early riser has been through war—the battle against young kids waking you up at unreasonable hours in the morning. A simple solution to encourage kids to stay in their beds? Add a timer to their nightlight.Parent Hacks offers this smart tip:Well, it's worth a try until your child starts hacking her nightlight!Nightlight on a timer tells early risers when it's morning wakeup time | Parent HacksPhoto by Jason Hull.My three year-old daughter was a very early riser and would wake me up repeatedly to ask if it was time to get up yet. [Don't you love that? My kid would creep up to me while I was sleeping, and then wake me so he could demonstrate how quiet he could be. — Ed.] She was too small to read a clock, and although telling her to look for a "6" was an option, she didn't quite get it that 5 was not OK, but 7 was. I was looking for a simple "yes/no" cue that did not require her to do too much thinking if she were to wake up in the middle of the night. I did not want to set an alarm, because I didn't want to disturb her sleep if she were to sleep in.
My hack inspiration came from anelectrical appliance timer. I used it to rig her night light to turn off at 6 am and told her she was to stay quiet and in her room until the light turned off. After a minor setback when she turned off the light manually to make it "time to get up," it has worked like a charm!
