Crazy In a Coconut

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

It's a shame that the Digimon artbooks were never translated from Japanese, because while I can get enough of the gist here to get a good chuckle out of them I would love to know the actual context of the vignettes that were included in it.

Bugs Bunny: *standing behind him and peering over his shoulder* "Bugs" is spelled with a Z.

Light Yagami: *without turning around* Ah yes, thank you *erasing furiously and continues writing*

Bugs Bunny: *stroking chin* Or was it an S?

Light Yagami: *erasing again and writing again*

Bugs Bunny: No, it was definitely a Z.

Light Yagami: *erasing again, even more agitated*

Bugs Bunny: Wait! It was a TH!

Light Yagami: *turning around, red faced* Can you decide on a spelling already?! *awkward pause, realizing who he's talking to*

Light Yagami: *screams, notebook and pen shooting up*

Bugs Bunny: *yoinks them both out of the air* Now let's see... Light Yagami... *begins scribbling*

Light Yagami: *on his knees, hands clasped* Wait, no, please, I beg of you! Spare me!
