DIY of the Day: Mrs. Muyonjo, who lives in the small, remote village of Ivukula in eastern Uganda, had to ride her bicycle 20 miles to the nearest city with electricity in order to charge her cell phone.
One day, the operators of the charging station Mrs. Muyonjo frequented unscrupulously swapped her long-lasting battery for a cheap one that barely lasted a day. Knowing that she couldn’t afford to ride into town on a daily basis, Mrs. Muyonjo constructed a homemade charging device using five D batteries wrapped together with found material.
While not particularly safe — Mrs. Muyonjo had to remove the plug from the phone’s existing charger and hook up the exposed wires to her home-brewed battery pack — it apparently gets the job done. And, given her extenuating circumstances, that’s really all Mrs. Muyonjo can ask for.

One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Trash With Flowers Painted On It of the Day: “Cracked Crockery” from Danish designer Ornamented Life is exactly what it looks like: Chipped dinnerware touched up with 24K gold filler and hand-painted floral prints.
Tea cups and saucers will set you back $38. Plates are $66. But the knowledge that you own the prettiest broken dishes in the neighborhood is priceless.

T-Shirt of the Day: Buy the David After Dentist shirt from ThinkGeek and let everyone know you “get” it!
What’s that? David After Dentist isn’t cool anymore? Then that makes this t-shirt even cooler because you’d be buying it ironically!
That’s how that stuff works, right?

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: Last night, Jimmy started an ostensibly serious effort to reunite the cast of Saved By The Bell. Of course we’re totally rooting this thing on, but I thought it was pretty amusing how he said “step one” was getting Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding). Haskins was probably wandering outside the set looking for unattended sandwiches.
Poor, poor dirty old man Haskins.
Seriously though — go sign the petition! I mostly just want to know why the hell Lark Voorhies has been in hiding all these years.

Movie Poster of the Day: Final one-sheet for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek prequel.
Looks more like a teaser, to be honest. No matter. Still really excited for this.
