Friday Fun: Becoming a Cyborg Edition

It's been a while since I last did a Friday Fun post, mostly due to lack of inspiration. This very week I was thinking that I should get around to finding something cool, sciency and fun to post. Well, who ups and emails me but Jimmy Atkinson with a suggestion for his post The DIY Guide to Becoming a (Real) Cyborg over at Free Geekery.
