Building a Simple DIY Fire Pit for Your Garden

Patio areas are becoming increasingly popular, as they not only look good, but are also the perfect place for relaxation and gatherings with family and friends. A nice fire pit will certainly add to the ambiance of your garden and come useful for having a barbeque for example. Let us show you how to create a wonderful fire pit step by step in a hassle-free and cost-effective way.

Step 1: Mark the size and shape of your fire pit.

Step 2: Dig approximately 18 inches of soil.

Step 3: Fill the hole with gravel for drainage.

Step 4: Lay some sand and level it.

Step 5: Start laying the courses of stones – you can leave a few openings between them for extra airflow.

Step 6: Light up the first fire and enjoy your very own fire pit!

TI Graphing Calculator’s Never Change

Now that I work at Columbia College, I see some stuff that reminds me of WAY back when I was in school.

Interestingly enough, this xkcd.com comic aptly comments on something strange I noticed in the book store.

Explain to me why we have phones now that have better displays and more power than huge computers 10 years ago, but the TI 83 Plus is still the graphing calculator of choice, and has made no technological advancements?!

Brooke Barrettsmith “Quiet Streets” Lyrics

So afraid to say the words that change me
We embrace the chase of playing hide and seek
We pretend and bend our own convictions
In the end we lend a hand conveniently
When did we dress up in secrets?
Why are we ashamed to shout His name?

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment
If there ever was a time it’s now

Go on now take it to the quiet streets
The truth is screaming to be free
Go on now take it to the quiet streets
The truth is screaming

Make a move to prove we won’t keep silent
If they only knew the truth and felt His grace
We don’t have to stay the way we used to be
Letting go of games that kept us out of reach
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Now that we have shed our secrets
We are not ashamed to shout His name

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment
If there ever was a time it’s now

Go on now take it to the quiet streets
The truth is screaming to be free
Go on now take it to the quiet streets
The truth is screaming
Go on now take it to the quiet streets
The truth is screaming to be free
Go on now take it to the quiet streets
Let’s leave a legacy

Screaming to be free
Screaming to be free
Screaming to be free
You want us to go and reach the world
You want us to go and change the world

Why You Should Blame Yourself

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” – Albert Ellis (Great last name, right?!)

Glowing Floating Desk with Custom Computer Seen through Glass Top

Ellis Benus — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:30:25 +0000

Neither of my other floating desk posts were THIS cool! IKEA Floating Desk and Minimalist Floating Desk.

I love floating computer desks!

Glowing computer desks that float and have their computer components on display under glass I doubly love!

This amazing floating desk slash glass topped computer case was built by Peter from the Netherlands.

The glowing desk houses 10TB of storage and a Core i7 processor that can be overclocked to 4.5GHz+.

Peter says the entire thing runs completely silent because of a water-cooling system and 17 fans.

The triple monitor setup rounds out the cool points.

Unfortunately, you can’t buy this rig, since Peter said he only built this one, and he’s not selling it.
