If you want to keep some annoying kid away from your computer, you could always try and build a DIY USB monster hub, like the creator of the USB hub in the picture. This “monster” is basically a USB hub with some tape and cloth jumbled with some (rather cool looking) red LED lights as eyes. If you’re into monsters, you’re welcome to try building one of your own.

Look, that USB-powered fish tank was fine during your teenage years of irresponsibility, but it’s really about time you started acting your age. Of course, we’re not suggesting you actually work harder — just smarter, is all. The DIY Automatic Fish Feeder is an exceptionally cheap, easy and almost life-changing creation that will never, ever forget to keep your fishes well fed and well lit. By attaching a makeshift pill bottle dispenser to a timer, Baha Tanju was able to create an automatic feeder that barely requires any attention. We know fish have a way of forgetting everything they ever knew every three seconds or so, but they’ll love you three seconds at a time for never leaving ‘em hungry.

Awww, ain’t this just an absolute cutie? Flickr pool member Fungus Amungus has some free time and technical know how on his hands, creating these chic speakers with Munny figures acting as enclosures. No idea on the audio quality that these Speaker Dolls are able to muster, but they sure as heck score maximum points in my book for enhancing a dreary looking desk.
