Oh dear.

I bought one of those sonic screwdrivers. As far as toys go, my brother was handily impressed, but I'm a tougher nugget to crack and found that reality is wanting, because my new sonic screwdriver doesn't ACTUALLY do anything.

This guy put a USB port on the end, but I'm kind of surprised at the lack of weird hacks for the toy.

Think Geek has a keychain device that's a universal TV off button. I always wanted to rip the guts out from one of those and put it in a Sonic Screwdriver.

Just imagine, you're in checkout at the supermarket, they've got one of those fucking televisions, you take out your SS, point, click, and off.

BrILLiant!

I am not even fucking joking when I say that I spent most of last night thinking about doing that EXACT hack but because I don't have a sautering iron and equipment, I decided not to post it until I can do it.
