Geekiest Android Dock

I recently got a Droid Incredible and wanted a dock for it.  However, I really did not want to spend money on it.  I have seen many homemade ones that are nice, but I love mine for its geek factor.

To assemble, you will need at least one dead hard drive.
Take the platters out, you will need three.  The advantage of the platters is that they are flexible enough to bend with your hands, but of course, stay in place.  Once you get the best angles, use packaging tape to temporarily hold them together.








Use double-sided tape (I used foam tape) to permanently mount them.  Finally, I used stick-on rubber feet to keep it from slipping.
Here is the final product.

GMail Rich Signatures Not Saved In Firefox

Google made a recent change to GMail allowing rich text signatures.  I changed my settings according to the directions, hit "Save Changes", but it would not insert the signature.  The problem lies in Firefox.  I am not sure why, but the solution is to make the changes in Google Chrome (or perhaps in Internet Explorer, but I did not test it).
