If you're not already-registered, that's too bad (Aso halted sign-up), but just marvel at the possible outcomes of this game... shite.

Gary Vaynerchuk is captivating. MvD recommends viewing this clip at least once a week, but I'll probably get by monthly... get off your ass and do something you like N.B. I did not say worthwhile!.
"Honestly, the only thing I fear in the world is internet on planes. Once that happens, I'm dead - I'm going to retire from email - I'M DONE!"
"If you for half a second don't believe in what your'e doing, you need to get out now. You guys promise me that, and I'll give you eight bucks, each."

Admit it, you've always wanted to own one of these:
An expensive VESA mount, for sure... how cool would it be to environ your own adornment with this hydraulically-assisted LCD float?!?!
According to my own measurements, each hydraulic piston gives you a meager twenty-one inches (~0.5m) of up/down and fifteen inches (0.35m) of side travel. Granted, this is ample space for the average desk, but what if you wanted to stack, for example, two pistons?
Like so...
Unfortunately, these Innovative Technologies 7500 Deluxe LCD Arms don't ship factory-ready to stack in modularious harmony... this probably has to do with such important things as 'weight limitations' & 'customer liability' & a whole 'nother plethora of legal slew... so you probably shouldn't perform this hack if you worry about such trivial meh.
As with all things, we've got to start somewhere (but first, you've got to purchase two of these). I like taking things apart, so grab your hammers.
This first step destroys to create. The task at hand is to remove the swivel neck from one unit and replace it with the mount neck of the other's.
Tricky, sure, but there might be a recap at the end, and you can always pry things out, when necessary. After tapping out the flex pins from one side, flip, pull, remove.
These steps result in a simple flip on ONE of the IS7500 arm ends.
Pro Tip: use a piece of wood to tap the pins flush-to-metal (without scratching, too!)
You will now need to remove the flapper from this flipped 'base arm,' in order to attach the new swivel neck. Look on the inside track at the bottom of the old swivel (inside!)... you will need to release the bushing/clip that holds the swivel in place. Needle-nosed pliers work wonderfully, here. The base arm will end up looking like this:
Some custom hardware from Big Box Store:
Joinery action (more exciting than in Agricola, if you ask me):
These generic parts can be ordered from me (I will make a shopping list later ed.).
Since I decided to hang a 27" iMac from this contraption (31 lbs / ~ 14 kg), I wanted it to be safe and wobble-free. In order to accomplish this, our hack can't be quite as ghetto as some would envision. For example, when creating your custom top washer, you should focus particularly on the part that prevents torque in laterotwistal directions:
Compulsory legalese & madeupwords later, and you'll end up with a custom hydraulic extender (the 'base arm') something like this:
Which can be slid in to a semi-custom base adapter:
For maximum enjoyment:
Your neck will never forget the day the internet became pan-and-tiltable, reclined.

You'll know it's an official delivery point when you see the hand-written signage : "US MAIL" .
Just a tug here and an antiquated pull there -- the beast awakens to sort its cud, *squeak squeak*, you've got mail.

this is what it feels like . . . two profiles met as one
i'm bûy-ing a house today
from thât widowedtheatreman
whose dâughter list-ens,
'…at three point eight per cent interest, compounded…'
'"…brãve is the li-on…'"
… just soever sô...
a man, mör-rose
heart ofthe ma-jestic,cali-fornian-bear
'"reduced, forwither so..."
upon that night -- your snoring --
of mind -- recounted glor-ying --
did you know there's nothing wrong with that [
sweet, sweet sound of your own breathing
as the sky turns pink from hot
and that special thrill of knowing you won't catch -- god only knows what
one can still make love a~l~o~n~e

Partially written by two women, which makes it even more interesting...
i saw myself, at sixty,
kicking pieces of glass from a coast highwaian right-of-way
shards, wholly discarded as passers…bye.
windows : down ; blinkers : on ; turn
slick back that god-damn sexy silver hair.
those god. damn. hips. embraced in blackness.
those lolital-bearing hips
that god. damn. ocean. embraced in darkness.
that eternal-damning ocean

The half-b[l]a[c]ked Change
Bush, Jr., succeeded in adding almost as much unsecured debt to the US taxload as all presidents before him. Obama's hole will be even bigger.
