8 Lines Of Code + 1 CD-ROM = Auto Baby Rocker

I can do some pretty awesome stuff with my computer, however, I rarely use it to interact with other physical objects in my office. Generally, if you want to use your PC to move other physical objects, you need some fancy hardware and/or a good bit of programming knowledge. Of course, if you’ve got mad MacGuyver skills, you can use nothing more than an optical drive and 8 lines of code to rock your baby to sleep.

Alright, so it doesn’t provide the most smooth rocking experience, but it’s good enough to put the baby in the video to sleep. I’m not necessarily going to recommend this hardware hack for two reasons. First, if anyone else sees this, you probably won’t live it down. Second, you might damage your cup holder.

How to Beat Online Casinos at Their Own Game

Posted by on Friday, 3 July, 2009

As an online casino player, would you want to lose money by using those so called “winning systems”? No doubt there might be some winning systems that might work. But not in the long run. The fact is that the player will eventually lose due to the percentage house edge which favors the casino. Online gambling can still be fun!

I won’t use any winning systems but will instead use my programming knowledge to profit from the online casinos due to one main advantage to a player. That will be the ″bonus″ given upon deposit for new players.

The 1st thing you need to remember about my strategy (not craps strategy) is that your earnings will depend on how dedicated you are to following the system and not your instincts. Understand that the odds are in the casinos favor, but by following my strategy to perfection you will decrease the casino’s edge. Treat your blackjack gaming like a part-time job and you will make an average of $90 or more per casino you play. You should easily be able to play one casino a night.

The basic idea behind the strategy is bonus hunting. Bonus hunting is basically where you take advantage of all the bonus money the casino’s give away to attract players to their online casinos. Most casinos will match your deposit dollar for dollar up to to a certain amount. Play your favorite game – slots, roulette etc. – courtesy of good bonus hunting.  There is no shortage of online casinos that offer (sometimes highly attractive) deposit or first deposit bonuses.  This type of casino is typically called a deposit bonus online casino.  So take advantage of them and be on your way to earning some good dollars today.  There are also a number of no deposit online casinos available and these casinos offer no deposit online casino bonuses as well.
