Halloween DIY - How to Make Halloween Bloodbath Fountain!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Projects by max on the October 10th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

Yey, here’s another really gory halloween bloodbath fountain you can make for Halloween.

I haven’t ever participated in an Instructables contest so I thought I’d make something for this one instead of just stalking other people’s projects. You can make this without breaking the bank, and the construction is pretty straight forward so anybody can make it.

Posted in A+Featured Hacks, Consumer, Cool, Digital Cameras, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, photography by max on the October 10th, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Here’s a cool free Windows program called JPEGCrops that will let you batch-crop your photos while maintaining the aspect ratio.  This sure beats editing each photo one by one with Photoshop.

JPEGCrops is a Windows program, created for preparation of a batch of images for printing. It provides lossless cropping with fixed aspects using jpegtran.

The program is freeware for private use and is localized to danish, english, finnish, german, polish, portuguese, galician and japanese. Partly localized to czech, dutch, french, hungarian and italian.

Here’s another really “spooky” Halloween DIY that shows you how to make glowing eyes that will look scary at night.

Halloween Eyes is the first project using my LMDriver platform (which I’ve been working on, on and off, for about 4 years (real life can be very inconvenient)). The concept is simple; a pair of TERRIFYING disembodied eyes rendered on a 4 5×7 dot matrix displays which look about and blink every so often. Even though I was going for “terrifying”, the most common reaction was “cute”. Yeah, cute like a GHOST.

Halloween DIY - How to Make Solar Pumpkin Jack O Lantern!

Posted in A+Featured Earth, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Earth, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, LED, Projects, Solar, lights by max on the October 10th, 2008 at 10:53 am

With everyone going solar crazy, here’s 2 cool DIYs that show you how to make solar pumpkin Jack-o-Lanterns.

The first one is pictured above and uses a solar torch (the ones used for garden lights).

The second one uses a smaller Solar LED unit.

I think both are great ideas for using existing solar gadgets into the pumpkin.

Well, knock yourself out with these two for the halloween and save some candles!

Corvette DIY - How to Turn a 1978 Corvette into a Batmobile!

Posted in A+Featured Auto, Auto, Cars, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Projects by max on the October 9th, 2008 at 4:35 pm

Here’s a cool DIY showing you how to turn a 1978 Corvette into a Batmobile.  I think you could probably also do this with older Stingray Corvettes too.

Q: What is the original car that this was made from?
A: A brought-back-from-the-dead 1978 Corvette (most likely the limited edition pace car model).

Q: Did you make this from a kit? Where can I get it?
A: No, this is not a kit car. This was handmade using high density foam, fiberglass and a variety of classified materials. A 1989 Kenner toy car was used as the base model for which the modifications were made.

Do you have a home with lots of birds?  Well, you can refer to this DIY on how to make a birdie food shack so you can watch your birds close-up and help them eat nutritious foods.

we’ve been wanting to get a bird feeder to hang outside our living room window for some time now. (hopefully it won’t drive our cats nuts!) this little feeder was inexpensive and easy to make, and we were able to customize it with paint to look like a little snack stand at an amusement park!
