Ever wish you could harness the heat collecting in your car and do something useful with it? You can! You can bake cookies on your dashboard! “When you open the door to that car, it's like, oh, my God. It's a wonderful smell.”

This comes from a very cool blog called Street Use:

This site features the ways in which people modify and re-create technology. Herein a collection of personal modifications, folk innovations, street customization, ad hoc alterations, wear-patterns, home-made versions and indigenous ingenuity. In short — stuff as it is actually used, and not how its creators planned on it being used. As William Gibson said, “The street finds its own uses for things.” I welcome suggestions of links, and contributions from others to include in this compendium. — KK

Another cool blog, in the same creative, yet domestic, vein, is called CRAFT. It is an off-shoot from the new CRAFT Magazine, published by O'Reilly, the makers of MAKE magazine.
