This summer… Stacy tidies up her yard as she tries to sell her house.
This summer… Stacy wrangles with her insurance company to get fair values for items stolen when her house was robbed.
This summer… Stacy tries to stop a lightning-fast one-year-old from putting slobbery dog toys in her mouth.

Yeah, my summer isn’t shaping up to be very exciting. But I can at least make it sound exciting, and so can you, by adding the hashtag #thissummer to the end of your Tweets. France-based telecom company Orange may pick up your Tweet and give it the movie treatment, making it sound like your lazy summer by the pool should actually involve car chases and harrowing escapes from death. I submitted the insurance one – you can follow me on Twitter to see if it gets picked up! And be sure to let us know if yours is used. We’d love to hear a trailer for your summer.

Sean Michael Ragan of Make read that it was possible to dry and shape the skin of an orange into a functional box. Although his is not as impressive as the one above, he was able to prove that it could be done. Ragan writes:

The original description mentions that the peels are “squeezed thin” after soaking, but before forming and drying, which is something I haven’t attempted yet. How, I wonder, do you squeeze an intact hemispherical citrus peel into a thin layer without damaging it?

This video shows a man balancing stacks of oranges on the forepaws of his cats. Question: how does one learn that one’s cats have this talent?

A candle made out of an orange? I think I’d like to try this. The ingredients are things you probably have around the house now, and the instructions are so simple they are related almost completely in photographs at Snowhite Blog. Link -Thanks, Kittens Pet Team!

As a kid I remember watching Dick Tracy and being awed by his ultra cool wrist-watch phone. I wanted one. I still want one. Thanks to the folks at LG, now we can all have one. LG’s G910 Touch Watch phone, available later this year, is a mere 13.9mm thick and features a full touch-screen interface, video calling capabilities and an MP3 player. There are a lot of firsts for this little device – it’s the first of its kind and the first to be supported by a major mobile phone carrier. That mobile carrier is Europe’s Orange, which means if you don’t live in Europe you’ll probably have to wait a bit longer to sprint through the streets pretending to be on a top-secret mission.

These orange slices are made of jello! Instructables tells you how to make them. This might be neat with lemons and limes, too. It would certainly impress guests at a holiday party! Link -via Unique Daily

If you must know, the first is a .223 Remington and the last two are .444 Marlin. Probably didn’t make much difference to the orange. Link
