Charge your ipod with an onion and some Gatorade

Oh man! You just found out that you have to go on a 20 minute car ride with your aunt who is not only a habitual snorter, but only listens to John Tesh's Holiday cd...and your ipod just died! You have your USB cable, but no computer handy to charge it in. What to do what to do?

Well have no fear, because the guys from Household Hacker will teach you how to charge your ipod for up to 20 minutes, using nothing but an onion, screwdriver, Gatorade and an iPod USB cable. Genius!

I don't have an ipod, but if you do and you try this let me know.
Science is cool :)

Hana’s Restaurant (Part 1): The Name

Growing up in Eugene, I was always known as "Oh! You’re Hana’s Restaurant!” For those of you that don’t know Hana’s Restaurant, I should slap you… just kidding. In 1993, my uhm mah (mom in Korean) Mia, started a Japanese/Korean/whatever she felt like cooking restaurant near the University of Oregon campus called Hana’s.

Uhm mah said she named the restaurant after me, her one and only daughter, her pride and joy ;) but decided to spell the name differently for the following reasons:

1. Hana has multiple meanings in a variety of languages:
· Korean: One
· Japanese: Flower, nose
· Other meanings: Favorite, grace, happiness

2. My Favorite reason: (If you ask her, this is exactly what she'll say)
“Hannah has too many letters, 6, too expensive when you make sign, so I spell Hannah with 4 letters: H-A-N-A, save me lots of money. Geeze, your mom is so smart, huh!”

So Hana it was.

I used to always tell my little brother Daniel that she would name her next restaurant after him, ha, yeah right. Who wants to go to a restaurant that means "God is my Judge"
