BLEEN: Black Widow (Mr Green)

Mr. Green? More like Mr. BL*EEN!
Have a look at what the creative minds at Ladiore Geneve have come up with...
While all the rage back in the beginning of 2011, this timepiece still sets the standard to which all bl*een watches are measured.

Limited to a production of 12 pieces, and named after a venomous spider, the Black Widow is 41.77mm tall and 51mm wide and made mostly of titanium. If the name hasn't scared you off, well maybe the $71,330 (US) price tag will.

Project: Netgear GS116

Truth be told, this repair was done quite some time ago and is actually part of my structured media home wiring project, which is still ongoing. This Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Gigabit Switch was part of a Craigslist lot I purchased, containing a bunch of computer equipment.  Seeing as I had no need for this switch, at the time, it just sat in my office collecting dust. Once I started my structured media home wiring project I realized the 16 port Netgear could be quite useful, but after a few unsuccessful attempts at utilizing it I realized it was DOA. Here's the situation, when this switch is plugged in, an LED will signify the unit is on and working, however whenever an Ethernet cable is inserted into any of the available jacks, there is no LED activity or connectivity.
