Do you want to be a giant dragon this Halloween with a set of wings you can actually flap?

Well, here’s a really cool Halloween DIY showing you step-by-step with its schematics, diagrams, and transcript.

How to Make Cheap Dragon Wings, controlled by body posture.  You can do this project for $18 if you use plastic garbage bags and Scotch tape for the membranes.

I’m going to show you how to make very light and strong costume wings.  How strong?  That strong.

DIY - How to Make a Camera Mount for a Motorcycle!

I’ve seen camera mounts for motorcycles on the front by the steering but here’s a really radical DIY that shows you how to make a “rear” camera mount for a motorcycle that will fit on your rear peg, where normally a passenger would put his/her foot down.

This mount should support most digital cameras and small camcorders. You have the flexibility to position the camera either front or rear-wards. (or even install two at once!)

Be sure to put a small piece of tape over the mic on your camera or the wind noise will overpower it. (I forgot the tape in my test run video)

DIY Robot Sculpture Made from Old Typewriters!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Art, Consumer, Design, DoItYourself!, Earth, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, Re-use, Recycle, Robots, re-make, technology by max on the October 13th, 2008 at 11:57 am

Check out these cool DIY robot sculptures made from old typewriters by Jeremy Mayer.  It looks like he’s been doing this for years while artists and designers have really started this re-make movement not too long ago.

I started working with typewriters in 1994 while living in a small town in Iowa. They’ve always been intensely interesting to me (when I was about ten years old I wanted to take apart my mother’s 1920’s Underwood), so it was natural that, having a typewriter and some free time, I would want to dissect one. I think of the typewriter as a product of nature- it was designed by minds immersed in nature around them, and mimicked the curves, geometry, and physical processes abounding in nature. Though it is cold metal created by human hands, the typewriter is just as much a natural material as stone or wood. I concentrate on bringing this fascination with the raw material and interest in science and science fiction together in the subtleties of the human form.

DIY - How to “Listen” to Microsoft and Yahoo stocks DROP!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Audio, Business, Consumer, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Music, Projects, Stocks, money by max on the October 13th, 2008 at 10:24 am

Well, here’s a fun visualization for Microsoft(MSFT) and Yahoo(YHOO) stocks dropping. Well, bad economy isn’t something we can change right now, but hey, take it easy, sometimes things go down and they will go up eventually.

I am just glad I took my money out from the stock market about 6 months ago, it’s just too volatile for me, I will stick to blogging for now.

The source code is included in the DIY page so you can probably do the same thing to others stocks like Google(GOOG) or somethin’.

Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition Out!

Posted in A+Featured Gadgets, Computer, Consumer, Cool, Design, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, Gifts, WiMax, technology by max on the October 13th, 2008 at 10:23 am

Nokia N810 WiMAX rolls out, it’s a tablet PC/Oversized PDA/UMPC that is the very first WiMAX-enabled device you can buy today.  It looks like the industry has been keeping WiMAX on the down-low, meaning they were ALL making WiMAX devices probably at least a year before. (mostly for Asian countries who’ve had WiMAX for last 2 years now)

Now, everyone who ever knew complained WiMAX will suck can just shut up, thank you very much,   We still have a long way to go but hey, we got 4G speeds now, take that AT&T and iPhone!

Anyways, you can get the Nokia N810 here.

Halloween DIY - How to Make a Living Severed Hand!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, Design, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, HOWTO, Hack, Projects by max on the October 13th, 2008 at 9:03 am

Need an authentic lookin’ “live” severed hand?  Well, here’s a cool DIY that shows you how to “fool” people to think you are holding a severed hand when it’s actually your hand.

A severed hand that twitches and grabs at those who come near! Make a convincingly gruesome addition to your Halloween costume or a tool for the perfect April Fools prank:

Of course, it isn’t really severed, it’s just an illusion! What you are going to make is a special glove that will make it look like you are holding a living, moving, human arm. In actuality, what people are seeing is your hand, passing straight through a “dummy” glove with an attached fake stump of an arm.
