5 Minute Projects

Happen to have a few extra minutes? Need to entertain someone for a little while? Well, look no further because here are some great things you can do and make in the next few minutes.

Epic ventures to build your own butler robot (in 55 easy steps), are awesome, but can take some time. It's cool, we understand, sometimes you've just got to make something NOW.

*Warning, some projects may take slightly longer than 5 minutes*

Both my keyboard ipod dock and led mouse color hack can be completed in *around* 5 min... If soldering iron/glue gun heat up time is not a factor. If it doesnt get published it doesnt really matter, but just thought to post as they are both easy to complete
