Image via Instructables About a week ago we saw a cool way to turn a couple old floppy disks into a USB falshdrive. But Instructables user hightekrednek2396 came up with a more modern take on the project. As you upgrade your music player, you might find yourself with a very old version of your iPod. You can put the device to good use by hacking it into a flashdrive . … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Nudge is the new eco lifestyle experience, which consists of a shop, a showroom, a consultancy and a meeting place where you can exchange ideas on how to live better or let yourself be inspired by others. Where is this you might ask? In Helsinki, Finland, where Nudge opened its doors this week, with furniture designed by

Photo: TreeHugger The techie in your life can be a tricky one to please — with that pesky habit of being on 2.0 before the news even reaches you. Instead of giving your green geek gadgets for the holidays that will be obsolete before President’s Day, invest in technology, applications, and electronics that will help make their lives greener. From eco phones to renewable power sources to Yoda-approved clothing, these tech toys will have your techie’s heart melting — and win you something you can’t wire easily into their hearts — hard-earned respect.

We look back at the five best moments from this week’s episode. By Jim Cantiello Vinny and Paulie D on “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV We can’t wait for “Jersey Shore” season 45, when the Situation will no doubt begin to resemble Vinny’s Uncle Nino! But for now, we’ll have to settle for the top five moments from this week’s episode. 5. Ain’t Too Proud to Beg The J-Shore boys talk a lot about game, and this week Vinny taught us a new technique in securing dates: beg like a pathetic dog. Ramona said it was “cute” when Vin’s invitation to dinner went like this: “It’s just dinner. Please, please, please, pretty please?” But we’re pretty sure you’re supposed to whisper sweet nothings in girls ears, not whimper. 4. The Ho Equation The aftermath of Vinny and Angelina’s hookup was felt throughout the house. It even made the Situation do math. “You have proven an equation that people have been trying to solve for hundreds of years,” he reasoned. “That when you are nice to a girl, when you take her on four dates, you snuggle with the girl, you buy her gifts, she will not call you. She will play you the f— out. And then she will f— somebody three days later when she’s drunk, with somebody that she hates! Angelina has proven the ho equation!” Yes, the ho equation. Bringing new meaning to the law of syllogism . 3. JWoww’s Mouth Party We’d like to offer $5 goes to anyone who can explain what the hell JWoww was doing with her mouth in the scene that we’ve replayed 20 times already. Fascinating 2. The Italian Feast Vinny’s family came to visit, so you know what that means: home-cooked goodness from Mama Vinny! But like many a good “Top Chef” contestant, Vinny’s mom had a weakness. “And then there’s dessert,” the Situation recalled. “We got milk and we got yodels!” They always crash and burn with the desserts. Always. Vinny’s mom? Please pack your knives and go. 1. The Situation’s Sandwich Pauly booty-called a classy young woman at 6 a.m., and she was supposed to bring along a honey for the Situation. But when she showed up solo, the Sitch was forced to sit this round out. Luckily, he had snacks. What were your high five moments from this week’s “Jersey Shore”? Share them in the comments.

Last month, my partner gave me a Fjällräven Kanken rucksack for my 30th birthday, and I have to tell you about it, as this is a classic amongst the eco-designs nowadays. I first spotted these slightly odd-looking bags in London many years ago, and learnt that they are a Swedish product, designed to last forever. When I received one in the mail recently, I got to know it a little better…. Read the full story on TreeHugger
