Find an old pot to use as the body of the drum. A pot with a diameter of less than 12 inches works best. The balloon is going to be the head of the drum so it needs to be tight but large enough to fit around the top of the pot. If the balloon is too small, it might be too tight ad break when you drum. A 24 inch balloon works best for pots 10 to 12 inches in diameter. A 16 inch balloon works best for pots under 10 inches in diameter.

Q: Leaving a lime out on the counter hardens the rind and dries out the flesh. Instead, place your limes in an unsealed plastic bag and store them in the crisping drawer of your refrigerator. Remove the limes from the fridge an hour or two before juicing to allow them to come to room temperature. Place your lime in the microwave and heat it for 15 seconds. Heating the fruit helps release its juices so you need only a small amount of effort to extract them. Before juicing your lime, soften it up by placing your palm on it and rolling it on a countertop. This separates the individual segments inside the lime, giving you more juice. Once you've cut and squeezed a piece of lime, twist a fork or spoon into it. This helps to break up the lime segments and get out any remaining juice. You can now make limeade or key lime pie, or even use the lime juice for ceviche or as a marinade. Or, simply drizzle lime juice over the top of your dish for a fresh and acidic addition.
A: Store limes in the fridge. Microwave the lime for 15 seconds. Roll the lime on the counter. Twist a fork into the lime segments. Use the lime juice.

Article: Once you have nailed the basics, venture into advanced territory. Knowing how to code separates the computer geniuses from casual users. Research what different programming languages do and select one to study. Get a book on the language. Starting with a beginner's book will build a great foundation for your advanced study Look into classes that provide hands-on coding experience. You will have to pay for some of the more prestigious courses available through coding academies, but you'll find the occasional free class through Coursera and Khan Academy. Getting one computer on the Internet is simple, but what about configuring an entire network of computers? Challenge yourself to learn different ways to connect computers to the Internet, share files across systems, and set up firewalls. Knowing how to set things up is a great start, but protecting your handiwork from security threats is a whole new world. Research things like Denial of Service attacks, code vulnerabilities, database hacks, and worm viruses to prepare yourself for what's possible. Having a community of computer geniuses (or those who are still in the aspirational stage) will allow you to ask and answer questions, as well as learn about new technology that might interest you. Research local meetup groups in your area. Discover chatrooms and forums full of computer users that are accessible 24/7. Becoming a computer genius will not happen overnight. It takes hard work, dedication, sharp problem-solving skills, and a genuine passion for information. Technology is always evolving, so you will need to stay current. The information you know now may be obsolete next year. Read computer magazines, follow popular computing blogs, and stay familiar with the latest in software technology. Upgrade to the newest operating systems when they are released. Join beta-testing groups for various operating systems and apps so you can be among the first to get hands-on experience.
