		<title>Leaf Blower + Internet = Hovercraft</title>

		<content><![CDATA[What happens when nerds have too much time on their hands? They Google random things like <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+hovercraft" title="how to make a hovercraft" target="blank">how to make a hovercraft</a>. Add a leaf blower, initiative, and some other junk into the mix, and you get what Dean, Carney and Peter made below.<br />
<br />
We tested their weekend creation on MindComet's back patio. Indoors, it sounded like a vacuum-powered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuvuzela" title="vuvuzela on Wikipedia" target="blank">vuvuzela</a>, but outdoors, it was a lot of fun. They claim to have lifted three grown men!<br />

Stephanie also took it for a whirl but found herself on a bit of a slope...<br />

Is this the future of electric transportation? Maybe not, but over lunch, I caught them chatting about their next design, so watch out for version two!]]></content>

		<title>Best MindComet Prank Ever?</title>
		<link>http://cakeplow.com/blog_posts/plow/best-mindcomet-prank-yet/</link>
		<date>1278714792</date>
		<content><![CDATA[If you <a href="http://twitter.com/mindcomet" title="MindComet on Twitter" target="blank">follow us on Twitter</a>, then you might already know about our bicycle gang. Yep, that's right, we've got a full-fledged biker gang in the office.<br />
<br />
With all of these bicycles around, it's like they're begging for mischief. One creative team member hatched one heck of a prank on <a href="http://twitter.com/monooptical" title="James" target="blank">poor James</a>. It's amazing what you can do with a couple of zip ties - but it's a good thing that James bought one of those fancy super-light bikes!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Dean-Bicycle-Prank.JPG" onclick="window.open('http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Dean-Bicycle-Prank.JPG','popup','width=2063,height=1551,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Dean-Bicycle-Prank_thumb.JPG" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="450" height="337" /></a><br />
<br />
He walked by it a few times, deep in thought, fully-focused and on-task. But then he found it. You could hear his giggles throughout the office. Check out his reaction below.<br />
<br />
<object width="460" height="284"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mxCiYZAZ7Gc&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&showinfo=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mxCiYZAZ7Gc&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="460" height="284"></embed></object><br />
<br />
And another pic for good measure... poor bike!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Bicycle-Prank.JPG" onclick="window.open('http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Bicycle-Prank.JPG','popup','width=1551,height=2063,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://cakeplow.com/images/uploads/Bicycle-Prank_thumb.JPG" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="450" height="600" /></a><br />

What's your best office prank?]]></content>
