making stuff nerdier

The USB charger that I was using with my media player broke. Basically the power-outlet prongs broke off, so I soldered on an entire power cord that I took from a boombox I disassembled.

I’ve also been dorking out my bike. It now has luggage made from laundry detergent buckets.

I had to extend the cargo rack to fit them on without banging them with my heels as I pedalled. Here they are after a trip to the HEB:

They’re held on with metal clips at the top and bungee cords at the bottom, so it only takes a few seconds to take them off and carry them around like the buckets they are.
