I'm Lucky, Too

Wow, what a week it has been. First I win a contest held by Gizmodo, and I'll be getting a 2gb SanDisk Cruzer Titanium flash drive. Then a co-worker was trying to get rid of an old safe she had that no longer worked.

I'LL TAKE IT!

...says I. Turns out it is an old (1986) hotel room safe. It no longer locked, the "key" (on top) no longer worked, and she had long since forgotten the combination. Hey, it looked like something fun to play with. Yeah, and it has a standard 110volt power cord.

The first thing I did was crack open the works in the door. I fiddled with it, pulled cords, poked at stuff, just basically trying to figure out what makes it work. Maybe I could spot what was wrong and even fix it.

Long story short, it took me about 40 minutes to bring it up to complete working order. So now I've got a very boring looking safe. Don't you think it needs something? I think it needs something. But what? This is a boring box that is in serious need of a modding.

I am open to any of your suggestions. Drop a comment here and give me your ideas.
