So, you want to earn money? Notice how we didn’t use the phrase “make money” because, in order to actually make money, you need to have a high-quality machinery with which you could print out the bills. Not to mention that this process is highly unfriendly with the law. Hm…we just might write about it one day. OK, enough about that. We are so generous that we will tell you how to earn money and not only that! We will also tell you exactly what you need in order to succeed!

Earn money by reselling stuff

Basically, this means that you buy a certain item at some price, after which you sell it at a higher price. Sounds simple but it’s not. It is also not 100% safe, meaning that you could also loose money if you make a bad move. Confused? Let us clarify things with two examples.

Example #1 (earn money): You buy a car for, say, $5.999,99 and find a poor soul to whom you sell the same car for $6.199,99. You have just earned $200! Congratulations.

Example #2 (loose money): You buy the car same as above, for $5.999,99, only to find out that you are the poor soul from the first example and that the car isn’t worth more than a couple of bucks. You come home, tell the story to your wife, after which she kicks you out of the house. You have just lost a wife and $5.999,99 minus a-few-bucks.

What you need?

• Brain, to evaluate a possibly good deal
• Poor soul (or if you prefer it, an idiot), to take the bait
• Little bit of luck, so you don’t end up as in example #2

Happy reselling!

Earn money by taking pictures

No, not the pictures of flowers and nature! You need to take a picture of someone famous, someone who has loads of money and no bodyguards (you will find out why this is important a little bit later), someone who is pretending to be nice and cute and fluffy. So, the idea is simple: you take a picture of a famous person doing something…not so famous…doing something naughty. Then you call that someone, tell him/her what he/she just did and ask for money in exchange for the picture. Better pray that he/she doesn’t unleash his/hers bodyguards or dogs (or even both) on you. As with life, nothing is 100% sure. We do not guarantee that you will earn money by doing this.

There is also another approach to the problem. We live in a digital world, where computers and photo-editing software are very powerful. That said, you don’t even need to take a photo. Just download it from some web site and then use your photo-shopping skills to “enrich” the photo

What you need?

• Digital camera, for taking pictures
• Rich celebrity, to take advantage of
• Photo editing software, to enhance the picture

Unfortunately, there are some people that don’t give a damn about their public presence (like Paris or Britney) so try to avoid them as you won’t get any money from them.

Earn money by singing

Do you have what it takes to sing? Do you have a nice voice? Do you like to sing? Do you like to make other people happy? You do?! Well, it absolutely doesn’t matter! To earn money by singing you don’t need a singing talent. You don’t need anything (except two-three things). You just have to be persistent…and be prepared for some beating (well, no one said that this money-earning thing is easy). So, how do you do it? You take your ass down town; find a nice spot where there are lots of people and start singing! If you know how to sing, people will toss a coin now and then, thus expressing their gratitude. If you don’t know how to sing (i.e. you have already been to the American Idol), don’t worry! People will still toss a coin, but this time to pay you to stop singing! Of course, you are not so gullible and you will continue your singing career until you earn enough money or until you drive people insane and poor (in which case just move a few blocks and start all over again).

What you need?

• Singing (anti-)talent, for driving people mad
• Free time, for driving people mad
• A cup, for money, when you drive people mad

Happy singing!

Earn money by making a monkey out of yourself

This technique is very similar to the previous one but now, instead of singing, you need a talent for making an idiot out of yourself. Don’t worry, we were all born with it, it is just that some people decided to bury it deep down. So, as before, find a nice spot where there are lots of people and start the “Look at me, I am a monkey” show. Dancing (but not professional dancing!) is a nice way to do it. Again, if you already visited the American Idol, you will have what it takes.

By now, you should be wondering as to why make a monkey out of yourself. The answer is simple: people love animals, especially monkeys! They like dogs too, but it is not easy to impersonate a dog…or anything else for that matter.

What you need?

• Make-a-monkey-out-of-yourself talent, to amuse people
• Free time, for amusing people
• A cup, for money, when you amuse people

Remember: you are a true monkey only when other, real, monkeys begin to laugh at you! Not only that you will earn money this way, but you will also do something good for the community.

Earn money by making a unique tourist attraction

Tourists are an interesting part of our population. They are willing to travel miles and miles just to see something extraordinary and are also willing to pay some money just to see it (touching costs extra!). So, with that in mind, we give you the ultimate master plan that will cost you absolutely nothing to achieve it (provided that you fulfill some basic requirements – see below) and will make your piggy bank explode! Are you ready? Really? Really, really? OK, here we go: dig a huge hole! Yes, that’s right, dig a huuuuuuge hole, like the one in the picture. If you work fast enough and you dedicate yourself to the hole, you might be finished in a few years (few = 15-20 years). Just think of the publicity you will get while digging. Newspapers around the world will write about you. You might even get an invitation to spend a few weeks in the local psychiatric clinic. But after hard work, comes the prize! People from around the world will come visit you and your hole and will give you more money than you have ever dreamed of.

What you need?

• A piece of land, preferably your own
• A shovel, for digging a hole
• Plenty of time, like…a couple of years

If someone actually decides to dig a giant hole, please be so kind and tell us about it and we will personally visit you and give you “The insane person that dug a giant hole” award!

That’s it for today, inspiration has abandoned us. When we think of more genius ideas on earning money, we will write a new post. Until then, have fun selling/taking pictures/singing/making a monkey out of yourself/digging

Bunny Rescue is back! In this brand new never-seen-before episode we will show you how we managed to save yet more bunnies from their…eternal sleep (maybe some children are watching this so some words are inappropriate). Be sure to check out the previous episode, in case you missed it. On with the rescue!!!

1. Who knows what drove this bunny into depression, but there are more faster ways of ending your life than frying.

After some careful consideration, we decided that the best thing was to simply close the curtain (or drape, or whatever you call it) and save the bunny. Unfortunately, he will never get rid of the scar above his eyes. Let that be a lesson to him not to fry himself ever again.

2. A truly unique idea, I must admit. Poor bunny forgot his parachute…or did he?

No, we won’t give him a parachute because he might not be willing to open it! Instead, we thought it was best to just fix him…with duct tape (no, it’s not a duck tape). We also punctured the balloon just to make sure that the bunny will land.

3. This is a living proof of how smart bunnies really are! I’m just curious how the heck he managed to tie himself up to the trees and hold his saw all at once.

At first, we tried to tie a knot where the trees intersect but that didn’t go well. We were never good at tying knots (as you can see in the picture). But then, phoenixx remembered the weight from our last Bunny Rescue and used it all over again…after some weight reduction, that is. One ton should be enough to keep the trees from going upright. Just to be on the safe side, we glued the weight to the trees.

4. Wow! Bunnies are not only smart – they are very patient as well! Take this bunny for example: he tried to, akhm, eliminate himself by waiting for the worms to eat the branch. Actually, he was waiting for the rock to fall down, but it doesn’t matter, we saved him too!

There wasn’t much thinking about it. We just used a universal tool (a.k.a. the hammer) and universally smashed the worms in a universal way. In case that some little bugger survives, we also placed a metal bar to support the rock. Ha! Eat that, worms!

5. Another patient bunny just waiting to be blown to bits…

…but not if we can interfere with the master plan! There are couple of ways to save this bunny and since both phoenixx and I like to mess with electronics and computers we decided to blow out the candle. Phoenixx found a case fan somewhere and I built a small PSU to power it. We did some extensive calculations and, looking at the results, the candle should be successfully blown off.

Join us again next week in a brand new episode of Bunny Rescue!

Any laboratory that has some self-esteem should have a mad scientist so, after we found some self-esteem (it was thrown away in a drawer), we hired a mad scientist to help us in our experiments. You can see him if you look in the header…in fact, you can’t miss him! His name is Maddy McBlast. Isn’t he cute? I especially like his beautiful smile. It’s so full of goodness and trust

After we exchanged a few words with Maddy, he already had a couple of ideas to experiment with and mentioned that he was working on a cheap solution to turn your classic (wired) keyboard and mouse into wireless versions. You can bet that we will write a post about it as soon as Maddy gives us a green light. Unfortunately, as genious as he is, he is also very shy when it comes to sharing ideas. Somehow, he doesn’t like talking much. Maybe he is afraid that someone else will steal his ideas. However, we pursuaded Maddy to tell us something about his recent project called the “Ultimate Reset Button”. He didn’t say much, but he said that it will be amazing and unique, something that the world has never seen before! All we can do is wait and let Maddy McBlast do his work.

You can find our more about mad scientists on Wikipedia (which is exactly where we found this one). Mad scientist image is the work of J.J. McCullough and we, phoenixx and arcom, are eternally grateful for his amazing drawing! Thank you J.J.!

We will now let Maddy work in peace.

UPDATE: Work on the Wireless Desktop is finished!

When was the last time you saved the bunny? You don’t remember?! We’ll you really should think about it! Due to increased number of bunny suicides lately, we had to react and do something about it. It is terrifying that no one cares. I mean, there are numerous pages with photos of bunny suicides (like this one), and yet, instead of helping bunnies overcome depression and suicidal thoughts, people just laugh at them - what is this world coming to?!

Anyway, here are some bunnies that we managed to save, with short description of the rescue process - hopefully this noble action of ours will inspire you do the same. Let’s help them together! We account on your humanity.

1. This poor bunny obviously couldn’t stand living with the old invalid granny anymore, so he decided that death was best for him.

In order to save him, we just had to unleash the rope, so that nothing happens when the granny goes up the stairs.

2. Bunnies are really inteligent creatures, another reason why we should save them. Just look how creative suicide plan this one had - to get his head smashed by a rocket driven wrench. I doubt many people could come up with an idea like that.

So, we’ve installed another rocket, to prevent the wrench from spinning, and thus saved this poor little animal.

3. It gets worse, there are even mass suicide attempts, like this one where eight fluffy sweet little bunnies joined together in attempt to discontinue their lives.

Extra 100 ton weight that we had in the backyard, worked excellent in this situation. Even with their joined forces the bunnies couldn’t move the rock - mission successful!

4. Did we mention mass suicide attempts? Here comes another - that fat lady would surely make our bunnies heads drop off in a blink of an eye…

..so we had to distract her somehow. This one was little bit tricky, but we managed to save them. If you look carefully at the lady, you may see she’s holding an ice cream - so we went evil A stand with free drinks worked brilliantly, just seconds after she drank her free soda, she ran blistering fast in a search of a toilet (hint: laxative a reminder for you not to take everything you are offered, especially if it’s free)
Oh one more thing, as you know, nothing comes for free, so we’ve provided some ad space for your advertisements to help us pay off the drinks. It takes as little as $9,95/month to have your ad on our stand. Please be so generous!

5. To help us prevent the last two suicides…

…we had to contact some people from hollywood. Both Superman and Ellen Ripley did a great job, so we thank them once again!

All bunnies are in our rehab center and are doing pretty well. Unfortunately, there are more bunnies to be saved so we have to move quickly! Check out the next episode of Bunny Rescue.

If you ask any successful blogger a thing or two about the RSS feed icon (button), he or she will probably tell you that your RSS button must be easily visible so that the readers can find it in no time. Some of those bloggers even had a contest whose button is bigger, better and meaner (John, you are so childish ).

We, on the other hand, never really liked our RSS button so we decided, since we don’t have to play nice anymore, to simply shoot it! Phoenixx did the shooting stuff so, if you want to know the technical side to it, ask him. He will be more than happy to shoot some more buttons. However, since some say that you absolutely must have an RSS button (or else you will suffer serious nightmares), I made an itsy bitsy tiny one. Can you see it? No? Of course not! It wouldn’t be the smallest one if you could easily see it, right? But wait, we will tell you where it is!

See? Take a closer look:

 

Oh, come on! Can you see it now? No, the big button is the now dead one, just ignore it. Look for a smaller one:

 

What about now? If you’re not blind you should see it:

 

Oh, so you’re not blind…you just don’t see anything?

 

Zoom at 10000% (no, it’s not a typo):

 

Look at how comfortable the button is!

And they say that you can’t draw anything less than 1×1px in size…buahahaha! There you have it, the world’s smallest RSS button! I think that we deserve a reward for inventing it. Do you know how hard it is to create something tiny? Definitely harder than creating something big!

Oh, and one more thing. It would be fair to tell you that the button has a mind of its own (due to some unexplainable glitch in the process of creation) and that it doesn’t like photographers for some reason so you probably won’t be able to take a photo of it. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
