Kenji found this cool video on hacking a staples easy button and the video is hilarious.
It’s a cool little project that hacks the staples easy button with a voice module
from Radio Shack! The cat in the video does some soldering too!

Check out this open source home automation software that you can mess around with. Garrett
found this site while trying to make some of his home automation DIYs. Cool! Thanks Garrett!

MisterHouse is an open source home automation program. It’s fun, it’s free, and it’s entirely geeky. Written in Perl, it fires events based on time, web, socket, voice, and serial data. It currently runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2k/XP and on most Unix based platforms, including Linux and Mac OSX.

Perl subroutines and objects are used to give a powerful programming interface. Here is some example code:

$fountain = new X10_Item 'B1';
set $fountain ON if time_now '6:00 PM';

$movement_sensor = new Serial_Item 'XA2', 'stair';
play(file => 'stairs_creek*.wav') if state_now $movement_sensor eq 'stair';

$v_bedroom_curtain = new Voice_Cmd '[open,close] the bedroom curtains’;
curtain(’bedroom’, $state) if $state = said $v_bedroom_curtain;

Here is a list of the standard code files and a list of other user specific code files (index).

Here is some example speech output:

• Notice, the sun is bright at 32 percent, and it is cold outside at 24 degrees, so I am opening the curtains at 8:07 AM

Check out this cool PSP hack! Someone ported uClinux to a PSP! :p

uClinux is a open-source linux for small embedded applications.  You have no royalty to pay for
after you develop an application which is the benefit over the royalty attached RTOS
(Real Time Operating Systems).  Micrium has some cool RTOS but I think you have to pay like
$10,000 just to get started…

I ported uClinux 2.4.19 to the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) ™. Well, Xiptech ported uClinux 2.4.19 to the MIPS architecture, and I ported that to the PSP.

Depending on your perspective, maybe a lot, maybe nothing. It has minimal hardware support (the headphone jack serial port has a TTY driver, and, well, thats it really. Unless you count the CPU and the RAM.)

It boots. It mounts a root filesystem that is linked in with the kernel code. It loads an interactive shell and has a very minimal userland. At the moment, every binary is statically linked.

This is mainly a proof-of-concept. Hopefully now more people will help, and we can write device drivers for all the remaining hardware thats on this nifty little handheld.

Two sparsely-buttoned large, touchscreen phones: the Apple iPhone, and the LG KE850 (which already won the International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007). Separated at birth, or possible lawsuit number two for Apple? You decide

Check out this cool LED Bike Light system you can make!

This can be made to be just a headlight or both a headlight/taillight bike light system.

My NiteRider light was off getting fixed at the factory and I needed something for my daily commute. I have used it in a 45 minute pouring rain commute on the way in to work and it worked like a champ.

Check out this free VNC program. I signed up in less than a minute and was able to access my
work computer from home. I believe it also works on PC, Linux, and MAC since it has a Firefox
extension on it.  I’ve used gotomypc.com before but it’s not free and this LogMeIn thing is free!

Also check out open-source VNC that works cool too.

Remember we found a MAC Address HACK for Windows the other day?

Well, here’s more ways for hacking your MAC Address that includes Windows XP, Vista, Linux, AND MAC OSX!
I think these are simpler than the ones before.

BSD

1) Bring down the interface: “ifconfig xl0 down”

2) Enter new MAC address: “ifconfig xl0 link 00:00:00:AA:AA:AA”

3) Bring up the interface: “ifconfig xl0 up”

Linux

1) Bring down the interface: “ifconfig eth0 down”

2) Enter new MAC address: “ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:AA:AA:AA”

3) Bring up the interface: “ifconfig eth0 up”

Windows 2000/XP
Method 1:

This is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have. If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.

a) Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Netw
