Since I have been playing with green lasers for about a year, I never saw any good use for them except to point them to the sky or buildings.

Since the green laser has a lot of power, especially the one DragonLasers sent me recently, I decided it was time to make a simple green laser projector without me spending days to build one.

This simpler green laser projector was made so I could use it for my next party and I always wanted to make this. Although this laser projector only does one animation, 2 whirpools, I planned to improve upon after making this very basic version.

When the motor is stopped, it also displays a bunch of green laser stars like this:

Remember I did a review on a 125mW Viper green laser last year?

Well Frank from DragonLasers sent me a Spartan GW 250mW green laser so I can show you guys how cool it is. The beam is much bigger this time and as you can see in the video, it’s WAY more powerful. Everytime my friends come over, they are hogging me to get them a free green laser. It’s really something you don’t need but once you see one in real life, you need it.

My favorite programming editor is Vi since I do a lot of server programming.

Here’s a fun little Javascript web-version of the Vi editor.

Now you can try out Vi and all its shortcut/macro goodness online with jsvi, a JavaScript-written clone of the basic Vi interface. It’s obviously focused on code, carrying substitutions and spell checking for the most common languages, but it’s a fun place to try out coding for newcomers, or for programmers to do a little quick hacking when they’re away from their systems.

Well, here’s a DIY LED tiles for your bathroom.  Btw, you can go buy these color changing LEDs over at IKEA for about $10-20 and slap them on too.  Regardless, kudos for the project there bud!

A lot of people have been posting projects about ambient orbs or LED night lights.  I wanted to try something a bit different with LED lights.  I’ve been doing some renovations in our ensuite bathroom and decided to test out an LED strip behind the glass tiles.

Some people may ask why… I’ve asked myself that a number of times.  Bottom line is because I wanted to see what it would look like.  Like a proof of concept, in case I wanted to do something like this when I start renovations on the main bathroom.

Here’s the most depressing lamp in the world.  Perhaps, it will balance out those people who are super-positive.

The Colago aka the Hangman Lamp is one the most positively morbid lamps I have ever come across! Not for the faint-hearted, the lamp is the brainchild of Spanish studio enPieza whose site makes an interesting read. The lamp has been handmade and materials used electric wire and iron.

With all the cool folding bikes out these days, here’s another cool folding bike called Strida.

The Strida from Area Ware works around a triangular frame, which means it, has strength as well as agility, because it will fold down flat making the bike totally portable in just five seconds. Now you have a light, yet compact bike for storage.
