Wanna destroy something this July 4th with your own homeade explosives like that Georgia Tech student from last October? Sure, we all do.

BoingBoing has the details. Use this knowledge at your own risk.

If you’re more the type to record the festivities (like, say, those at Centennial Olympic Park or Stone Mountain) for posterity, BoingBoing has some advice for amateur photographers as well.

I hope everyone has a happy, safe and reproductive holiday weekend.

Happy Birthday, America!
