Here’s a nice invention if you live in a very hot city. We dare to make one yourself.

This baseball hat has a solar panel on top and DC motorized fan on the front with a nice ventilation hole cut in the bill. Very handy for a summer day or also useful for walks through well lit bakeries if you want the full aromatic experience.

Not to mention, make you look really dorky while taking them. Also you could easily fashion one of these for yourself with an old golf club or a stick.

Or so it could be if we believed what the makers have to say about it. The watch is like a cross between Star Trek and the China Syndrome, these Tokyo Flash watches are sometimes well over the top, but this one is not too bad.

Once you understand what the symbols mean, the danger indicator is the hours; the radioactive symbol is the minutes in tens and the active reactor light are single lights.

So now you know maybe you would like the price $103.75.

Yey, it seems like the O2 iPhone is available in UK now. Let’s take a look…

So, what’s it like? Well, apart from the o2-engraved box, the UK iPhone is, externally, identical to the US version, which we reviewed back in August. The biggest modification is on the inside and is something that will have nerdgeeks sprinting to online forums in a message-posting furore. We can reveal that the UK iPhone is, in fact, installed with firmware version 1.1.2. Oh, how we wanted to post picture proof last week but would have run the risk of Steve Jobs personally removing our knackers. As well as more keyboard character sets, the updated firmware will have addressed security issues and minor bugs: Great for news overall stability, but it is likely to cause yet another uproar in Apple’s loyal fanbase, as Apple is sure to have closed up the security loopholes (such as the TIFF exploit) which allowed people to hack the iPhone to run their own software.

Into AVR chip programming? Check out how you can convert an Arduino into an AVR chip programming hardware for use with AVRDude!

By the way, AVR is microcontrollers from Atmel. Check out AVRFreaks for good AVR info.

(Thanks David for the tip! )

I ported the Atmel AVR910 In System Programmer protocol to the Arduino. Now I can write programs to my ATtiny2313 and tiny13 chips. The Arduino sketch is available for download here. It works with the AVRDude programming software. This article will show how to use the Arduino to upload a program to the tiny13. The first step is to download the zip, extract the .pde file, then load it into the Arduino IDE, and write it to the Arduino. Next we can hook up the tiny13 chip.

The original AVR910 programmer didn’t support the tiny13 chip. I added tiny13 support to the Arduino version and assigned it part ID 1. I had to modify the avrdude.conf file also. I just added the following line
