The Denver International Airport has set its Wi-Fi service to block out sites that have potentially racy imagery. The decision was taken because the management considers that itÂ’s better to deal with infrequent complaints about access, than handle angry parents whose children might be exposed to pornographic content, according to airport spokesman Chuck Cannon.

If you love Legos, but you want adult-sized, eco-friendly ones that can build things like platforms and office space dividers, you'll love Bloxes. Put together these interlocking cardboard blocks any which way to create furniture strong enough for regular-sized humans to stand and sit on. Bloxes can connect with each other on all six sides, so you can use them to build walls, benches, tables, tunnels—whatever you can think of. And because the varied surface and complex internal structure helps dampen sound, they're great for managing acoustics in offices, studios and other places. After the jump, check out some photos of Bloxes in action. Photo by Scott Robbin.An individual Blox assembled:

I have to say just from the beginning that I'm not one of those Facebook-addicted fans and I have only created an account for testing purposes. Maybe I'm a little bit subjective, but I can't really understand people's addiction to Facebook, and to social networks in general. OK, Facebook is great, I admit it, but from creating an account on such a website to quitting your job because your employer decides to block the page at work, there's a long, long way.

Audiophile blogger Santi needed solid speaker stands that wouldn't break the bank, and wound up using cinder blocks to get the job done. Santi writes: I know most of you out there probably just stick your speakers on a desk, or shelf, and mostly likely the speaker is pushed all the way back against the wall. Well, let me tell you that this is NOT optimal. Speakers should be at least one foot away from the wall, and placed on sturdy structures that will not resonate with the speaker, which can color the sound. With some epoxy, cinder blocks, wood circles, and concrete paint, Santi painted and glued together a few cinder blocks to mount his speakers on, and the result is surprisingly good-looking (if unconventional)—plus there are built-in shelves inside the blocks. Maybe cinder blo read more »

If the sun beating on your windows this summer is baking the place—or just making your air conditioner work harder—you can hang material that blocks the heat in your windows. Do-it-yourselfer thenickboy says: To save electricity with our super expensive A/C, I constructed reflective curtains to block sunlight from warming our house. Think auto windshield. This is super simple and kind of obvious, but it works well. Basically he hung foam, reflective material that windshield blockers are made of as curtains. Along similar lines, home blogger Emily Gertz did the same using foam and aluminum foil. Beat the Heat for Cheap: Reflective panels for your windows [Apartment Ecology via read more »

Wired's How-To Wiki offers a timely compilation of ways to get into Usenet, that old-school newsgroup collection often teeming with downloads and advice, now that it looks like major ISPs will block access partially or entirely. Google Groups, for instance, will get you into a semi-mirrored version of Usenet without any of the sketchier alt groups included. For full-scale access, free tools like UsenetTools and DMoz are suggested, along with a few full-access tools with monthly subscriptions. If you're new to the old net, check out easy guides on downloading and sharing files, and tell us what you still get out of Usen read more »

The Daily Gyan blog adds to the list of work-arounds to access Gmail at places where it's normally blocked—this time, by using the fully-functional gadget available in the "new" iGoogle. If you're willing to sign up as a "developer" to get an early preview of Google's reworked start page, as Adam explained how to do, you simply add the Gmail gadget, click the "maximize" button on it, and you've got a nearly complete inbox view. And since iGoogle comes from a Google.com URL, it's less likely to be blocked, unless, of course, the IT overlords in question are reading this right now. read more »
