Sebastian Szyszka has a great write-up on how to photograph fireworks. He covers the delicate balance of ISO and aperture settings along with everything else you need to know. In the end, it seems to be fairly easy to do if you use a tripod and a decent camera.

Ronnie Hinton of Florida made a tunable six-string cigar box guitar, base on the project in MAKE vol. 4. As the video on his site shows, he can play a decent tune or two on it!

Here's an idea I got from Alton Brown on Good Eats that I sketched up in my Maker's Notebook. It's for throwing a self-serve shish kabob party using a temporary fire pit made from bricks, sand, and charcoal. You make the width of the pit so that your skewers fit over it and the handles rest on the bricks. You then have a table with skewers and all of the components and let people fix and cook their own.
For dessert, you can serve grilled fruit skewers over pound cake. In case you can't read my recipe for the dessert glaze, it's:
1 vanilla bean (stripped)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 - cup juice of lime
Pinch of salt
Heat until sugar melts. Let cool and transfer to squeeze bottle.
