The Logitech K310 Washable Keyboard Is Perfect for Messy Folks [Video]:
If you eat at your desk a lot and are particularly sloppy (or maybe if you just have children), Logitech's Washable Keyboard K310 makes it easy to clean up all those spills.
We've already shown you how to clean your keyboard and other gadgets, but Logitech's new washable keyboard allows for hassle-free cleaning in a fraction of the time. The keyboard's water-resistant build allows it to be completely submerged in up to 11 inches of water and can handle a good scrubbing. The keys are laser-printed and UV-coated, which prevents any fading, and holes on the back of the keyboard allow water to escape easily and air-dry efficiently. It may not be the prettiest or most feature-filled keyboard out there, but some people just plain need it. You know who you are.
The Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 is now available for $39.99.

Convert Video Files Into Comic Book Style Ebooks for Offline Reading [Video]
Convert Video Files Into Comic Book Style Ebooks for Offline Reading [Video]:
You can't always sit around watching video, but that doesn't mean you want to lose track of your favorite TV seasons. To solve this problem, blog Frisnit Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. devised a system to convert video from BBC's iPlayer into a comic book style text that can be read on a Kindle.
The basic process for conversion is a little complicated, but the payoff is a clever way to make your own photonovel. Frisnit's guide is made with iPlayer in mind, and uses Project X for subtitle conversion, lav2yuv to create the scenes, and FFmpeg to convert everything. The process is by no means straight-forward, but it's certainly ripe for streamlining and experimenting if you're inclined. Head over to Frisnit Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. for the guide.

Four Clicks to a Less Annoying YouTube [Annoyances]
Four Clicks to a Less Annoying YouTube [Annoyances]:
You know what's awful about YouTube videos? Sure you do! Annotations are awful. Because more often than not, they're less "annotation" and more "HEYDIDYOULIKETHIS?!!? SUBSCRIBE NOW BUY ON ITUNES!!!!!" Most of you probably click off annotations (and to a lesser degree captions) nearly every time you watch a YouTube video. Do yourself a favor and turn them off for good, right now.
As for your other YouTube annoyances? Here's how to fix those.
The image above is from YouTube user schmoyoho: extremely talented person, confirmed annotation abuser.

DIY Cotton Candy Machine
DIY Cotton Candy Machine:
Terry Jantzi says: “I built a homemade machine that works spectacularly. Made out of surplus steel bowls, a hanging plant basket and a propane torch, I produce all kinds of flavored cotton candy for family and friends.”
I like the way his video progressives from a working prototype to a slick finished project.
