Whoa, check out Google first server ever and Google Master Plan! (Click on picture to zoom)

…with the hair pulled back, revealing a rack of cheap networked PCs, circa 1999.

Each level has a couple of PC boards slammed in there, partially overlapping. This approach reflects a presumption of rapid obsolescence of cheap hardware, which would not need to be repaired. Several of the PCs never worked, and the system design optimized around multiple computer failures.

According to Larry and Sergey, the beta system used Duplo blocks for the chassis because generic brand plastic blocks were not rigid enough.

Tight! Here’s some beer gadget for all you beer lovers! (Cheers, my favorite beers are: MGD, Pabst)

The battery-operated device also removes the heat from the outside of the can using special secret technology. All this chilling tech runs on two AA batteries, and all you have to do is just add a little ice and water. Or, you could just put your beers in the refrigerator and night before for free

Check out PMinMO Electronics, they got some great pdfs on stepper drivers.

Thanks joe!

Check out this PussyCat mobile PC that can do a lot of stuff.

Pussy Cat - A real mobile PC that implements A.I. robot and air refresher. The main concept of designing a moving computer is to make convenience for people that they are doing something else but they can use computer without their own move. Pussy Cat will come immediately to serve your purpose. It also provides us fresh environment and fun. Pussy Cat have 2 modes: Personal Computer Mode and Pussy Cat Mode. As a Personal Computer, all basic tasks: watching video, listening music, playing game, surfing internet, instant messaging, email, reminder, alarm, etc. As a Pussy Cat, an A.I. 4-legged robotic cat can move around home. It has face recognition technology that let it remember who is master. Under our control, it can be a good home monitor and would have fun in role play with distant friends. Lit footprints make it brights anywhere anytime. A self-feeding system, this is an automatic charging technology for charging up the power. It is an air refresher for making fresh environment.

Okay, this is completely random but this is my dog… hehe…isn’t she cute?

Leave your thoughts.

Here’s a cool device that lets you compute in bed. This would actually be great device for people who cannot walk.
Also this is a great platform for blogging. Well, we have seen some really cool stuff at the local Scandinavian furniture store but we will tell you about it another time.

Check out this PIC based bluetooth accelerometer that you can use for your future wireless accelerometer applications.

This is a small wireless sensor platform providing a bluetooth SPP link to three axes of accelerometer data. The accelerometers are sampled by a PIC microcontroller (onboard ADC) at roughly 100Hz (rate can be changed via firmware). Data from the ADC conversion is sent to a remote computer using the PIC’s UART in conjunction with a drop-in bluetooth serial part. Even with two dual-axis accelerometers onboard there are up to 17 free I/O lines and two additional ADC channels depending on the device configuration. Three sockets provide access to all PIC signals. Over-the-air programming allows for easy firmware updates and rapid prototyping without the need to have a PIC programmer or special cable. Schematics, parts lists, and firmware sources are available online.
