Did you get a copy of the book? Show us and get a patch!

We have a new feature here at Instructables: the virtual patch! We'll be giving these away for contests in the future. They'll appear on your "You" page like in the picture below.

The first one we're giving away is a book patch for everyone who's bought or won a copy of The Best of Instructables, Volume 1. All you have to do is show a picture of yourself holding the book and you'll get one! Putting your face in the picture is optional for all of you concerned about your privacy.

woah predator mask project?
Honus in reply to gmjhoweJun 13, 2009. 8:41 AM
The mask is only a small part-


I've already made a lot of changes to the mechanism and electronics shown here. I'm trying to get it all finished before Halloween.

Honus in reply to fungus amungusJun 11, 2009. 4:55 PM
Good one- LOL! No I'm just a slacker... I'm actually working on so many things right now (six projects in various stages of completion) that other things keep getting bumped to the top of my list and I just simply forgot about it. I even wrote myself reminder notes- and I just happened to pull several of them out of my pants pocket last night so I figured I'd better do it before the process repeated itself. :P

That's a really bad attempt.
Doctor What in reply to zieakFeb 2, 2010. 12:25 PM
 What are you talking about?  He is clearly a purchaser of the book! 

*sarcasm*
fungus amungus (author) in reply to MplinncJan 17, 2010. 2:07 PM
A real picture of you really holding the book.

We already know the book looks great, but where are you?
baystreetbully in reply to fungus amungusJul 1, 2009. 1:56 PM
there was nobody to take the picture with me in it
Goodhart in reply to baystreetbullyFeb 1, 2010. 9:15 PM
Find a mirror,  face the mirror and point the camera at yourself, while holding the book in the other hand....using the mirror, you should be able to view the LCD screen of the camera and then stap a good one the first (or second) time :-)

You like your books raw? I find that a quick stir fry and some curry makes it much better.
TyMan210 in reply to fungus amungusMay 18, 2009. 5:36 PM
I prefer mine slow roasted with salt, pepper, dill and a tiny hint of ginger.
Warlrosity in reply to TyMan210Jul 11, 2009. 4:56 AM
I like mine deep fried and salted!

Not unless you're a cutting mat. Which would be awesome since you'd be self-healing.
Chromatica in reply to fungus amungusJun 10, 2009. 4:47 PM

Lithium Rain in reply to target022May 17, 2009. 12:34 PM
Hey, how'd you get a signed one?!
NachoMahma in reply to Lithium RainMay 17, 2009. 1:09 PM

Yeah, well, I can go without sleep for 20 consecutive hours!

Braggart. :P
Kryptonite in reply to Lithium RainJul 18, 2009. 6:33 AM
I can go with sleep for 20 consecutive hours! No but seriously I did 36 hours without sleep, it burns so bad...
182515 in reply to KryptoniteFeb 1, 2010. 7:46 PM
I have went two days without sleep. 24 hours gaming and 24 making stuff out of knex.
182515 in reply to 182515Feb 1, 2010. 7:48 PM
I slept for the next day and a half after that, i was totally zoned out by the end of it.
NachoMahma in reply to Lithium RainMay 18, 2009. 1:58 AM
. I have gone as much as 20 minutes without taking a nap!

. Yeah :P Really nothing to brag about. It was just one of those in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time bits of good luck.
Kiteman in reply to NachoMahmaMay 17, 2009. 2:26 PM
Mine wasn't, and I'm in it

Hey! Wait a honey picking minute! This is not a reply to one of my stalker comments... If your stalking me, and im stalking you, are we walking around in circles?
Lithium Rain in reply to gmjhoweAug 25, 2009. 9:37 PM
No, see, I'm stalking Kiteman and Kelsey, and you and Koolaid are stalking me, and Bobby is stalking you and me and Kiteman AND Kelsey all at the same time.
gmjhowe in reply to Lithium RainAug 26, 2009. 3:29 AM
So, shall we all agree to get bobby? (who is bobby..)
Lithium Rain in reply to gmjhoweAug 26, 2009. 8:01 AM
Sounds good to me (Bobby's the fish, goosy!).
