I have been thinking about making a bed at my workplace recently. I think this would be a good
solution!

A new bed for $10 in 5 minutes.

Having blown $300 on a mattress, I wasn’t about to blow another $300 on a bed frame or box springs. I had all these archive boxes that I used for moving, so here’s a cheap-ass substitute.

Its as strong as a regular bed, environmentally-friendly and great for people who move frequently. And you instantly have 10 boxes worth of storage space under your bed!

Add mattress. The bonus is that this bed, with the mattress, is exactly the same height as the bed next to it (which is a standard bed frame from Ikea).

If you don’t even want to buy a mattress, you can tape together a bunch of free padded envelopes from Fed-Ex, like this guy: http://www.fedexfurniture.com/

When you want to move, just flatten all the boxes, or you can use them to move!

Here’s a cool hack so you can hack your own DVDs that you’ve bought and
the store employees forgot to take out the security thingee.

Now that that is out of the way, some backstory. I started this project when i my Dad bought dvd’s from a Hollywood Video that was about an hour away, brought them home, and found that the cashier had left in the security bar that keeps you from opening the box. After tearing apart one box, utterly destroying it, i figured out a better way.

The ultrasonic sensor and computer software provide a convincing illusion of direct interaction.

“Another installation exercise. Idea copied from another installation for ease. Ultrasonic range finder is used to detect distance of object form it and data is processed in flash, and displayed in form of grass. Same technique can apply to many other skin like running people (from the UFO… )”

Well this is good news for T-Mobile users if they want to use a Cingular 8125.

Cool, just found a hack for unlocking your 8125 or MDA.

If you’ve got an T-Mobile MDA or a Cingular 8125 and are planning to switch from one GSM provider to the other, here’s a guide to unlocking your phone so you don’t have to buy a new one.

The short version of the instructions are: download the unlocking tool, run it, write down the SIM unlock code, insert the new SIM, and enter the code. We just did went through this process this morning on our T-Mobile MDA and it’s working great on Cingular’s network. – Jason Chen

Nice Nintendo Wii hack for people who need this hack…bookmark it!

The Nintendo Wii ships with a composite video cable that is capable of 480i resolution. Currently first party component cables, which allow for 480p resolution, are available through retailers and directly from Nintendo. However, when attaching the component cables, one loses the ability to output composite video. Why is this an issue? Well, it may be that you take your Wii over to friends houses frequently and would like to only have to take a single cable. Or, you may be like me, and use an LCD computer monitor for your Wii’s display. My monitor has composite but no component in. To support high definition signals, I use a small transcoder box, the Mayflash YPbPr to RGB transcoder, that only supports progressive scan modes. However, many older games, such as GameCube games, and even some of the new Wii games, like Rayman Raving Rabbids, don’t support progressive scan. In these cases I end up with a black screen and need to switch cables to play the game. What a pain.
