That is fucking awesome.

It seems so much more haphazard and vaguely dangerous than most of these.

Wait, does it make the hamster move to the other side of the cage by partially cooking it with a hairdryer?

@4, the newspaper industry prefers that you call the hairdryer a hamster "warmer" not "cooker."

You laugh, but was thinking of building something like this for my Kindle, because when I'm on the treadmill it's a pain to have to hit the page turning button...and Kindle is bricked so you can't add a mouse or clicker to the usb port.

Maybe something like one of those old fashioned camera cable shutter releases...
