This LED curtain really attracted my attention because I have done 4 LEDs in series and it took me forever, I couldn’t imagine having to do all of those and then have to program it so that it can display logos and words. This obviously took a long time to make and I personally like…

Vox Populi by Don Ritter
Vox Populi by Don Ritter is an interactive installation that features a responsive video of 28 people. These projected people urge observers to give a speech. The observer can then read a famous speech from the computer screen and the people on the video will respond according to how well the speech is delivered. The…
Pumpkin that scares the $@*# out of you
Well, perfect topic for this time of the year. How about a pumpkin outfitted with LEDs. Yeah, you’ve probably seen that and mabye done it. But throw in the ever-versatile Arduino platform and a really, really, really laud horn and now my friend you’ve just upped the Jack O’ Lantern modding possibilities considerably. MAKE’s Marc…

This is a japan water fountain built at a mall. I wonder how the were able to time the water out so that it made animal shapes.
Liquid Robots!
A new type of chemical robot is on the horizon. The idea behind these is that conventional robots cannot squeeze through cracks or smaller openings, so the next logical step would be to build a “chemical robot” that could morph into whatever shape is desired–much like the T-1000 from the terminator movies, above. I’m curious…
The next step. Warbots.
Over the last week or so the “Robot” conversation has (Oddly I must say) come up between som of my friends and I. We have been talking about cybernetics, the digital space and humans interaction with that digital space. From that came the discussion about robots. In the past our interactions with the digital space…
Cementimental Circuit Bending
This is a sweet little website full of circuit bent toys I ran across while looking for ways to hack into a hokey-pokey elmo I bought for two dollars today. The gentleman here has some nice sound samples from bent toys he has made, all of which have been very intriguingly rehoused. My favorite is…
Keyless Entry system using arduino
Once we master the art of arduino we can use it to make all sorts of systems to facilitate our laziness and forgetfulness. This is a great idea for those of you who forget your keys or want a guest to be able to get into your house. The arduino board is programmed to unlock…
Healing Chair?
Okay so i saw this after watching the Flexible Love chair. i just find this thing pointless. I mean why dont you spend time on finding the cure to cancer or something. i jut really dont get why you would waste your time inventing something so pontless. Sorry had two post this stupid thing!
Halloween Light Show
This is really interesting. I would think it would take a long time to program this set up and get pretty tedious getting the light stands to do exactly what you want it to. I really think the neighboors must hate this dude!
0 to 1000!!!!! in 40 seconds!!!!!
This vehicle is called the Bloodhound. a mechanical device that is capable of reaching 1,000 mph in forty seconds. this is a relative jet powered car designed specifically for speed. The Bloodhound is a three-year effort headed by ThrustSSC developer Richard Noble. The Bloodhound SSC vehicle is expected to reach Mach 1.4, marking “the greatest…
